Sorry for the poor quality pics, but worth a look......
Had a brief meeting with a friend and was able to snap these iPhone pics. Simplicity and Observatoire. Spectacular pieces, best of the best IMHO, and so interesting to examine the details side by side.
Also can't wait to see what comes next from these masters.
I promise some better quality pics next time!

Nice to see these two examples together!
Thanks for documenting the encounter. Cheers, Daos
What would it take to get my hands on this Simplicity?
I am simply drooling....!!!! Ken from Tokyo
there's one selling in your area ;-)
It's a japanese type of ebay. Same type like mine. *CL
I know, I know, I have been aware of it, but....
It is apparently the same one which was sold USD20K less a few weeks ago and the seller seems to be a flipper - AND, I am looking for a Roman numeral version Anyway, nice to hear from you! Ken
Oh...it was a few months ago, not a few weeks ago.
And I thought it was more like it being withdrawn than it was sold. I remember acting on it on day one but was considered 'sold' the next day . My source told me it was listed wrongly , it was too good a deal then . It's more like $30k less than the curre...
2 different time zones!
Just kidding of course. But I caught that too. Does the Observatoire have a stop seconds function? I believe the Peseux ebauche doesn't have this. The Dufour doesn't have a hack mechanism either as far as I can recall. In the end, it's probably a distant ...
LOL... That hadn't even crossed my mind....
How many km apart do those timezones need to be to get 14 seconds difference ? Don
Wonderful, Tahoeblue!
Great to see these two pieces together. The second photo does a great job of showing the striking Geneva stripes on the Dufour -- and both watches look great. On the Observatoire, white metal with navy strap -- hmm...we know what that means, right? Best, ...
Thanks Tahoeblue...............
For your lovely photos. Like many of us, these two great pieces, are the pinnacle of Horology.
No...
'On the Observatoire, white metal with navy strap -- hmm...we know what that means, right?' No! (Unless you are referring to the colour-specific collecting habits of one of our Japanese friends). What does it mean? Of course, if there was some kind of Obs...
First time I have seen both side by side ...
They are both stunning. Thanks for posting. Honestly, I wasn't aware their differences in size until now. Cheers! Wilson
It doesn't get much better than that...
Utterly fantastic pair. Thanks for sharing! Did anyone lose their appetite for lunch?
