Zeitwerk movement Gen 1 vs. Gen 2 aesthetics
Oct 25, 2021,17:02 PM
Which one looks more beautiful to your eyes based on aesthetics consideration alone?
Obviously Gen 2 is more technically advanced than Gen 1 with 72 hours PR and an (inverse) pusher to quick-set the hour.
Aesthetically, it loses the anchor shaped remontoir bridge which has been a signature element of the Zeitwerk line over the last decade. Also, the maltese cross stopworks on the barrel are gone.
My slight preference is for the old one. Yours?
