Shhhhhh my friend

I’m wearing mine now - the only watch I took with me (apart from an Apple Watch for flights) on my current two-and-a-half-week trip to Europe. Left everything else at home - including the Alpine Eagle, it’s just too heavy compared to the titanium of the OF! I *am* interested and happy to see all the fawning coverage of the AE since Chopard put in the LUC movement. But with these watches I’m happy to anticipate, not follow, the crowd. Let’s keep the OF to ourselves…

The common complaint on Finissimo are (in random order)
By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : April 8th, 2023-09:37
There are too many models, there are too many limited editions, you don't have to buy the whole bundle to get one, you don't need to be approved by the headquarters, you must not prove your blood lineage, it will neither be the next RO nor Nautilus. Finis...
I wouldn’t call them complaints but rather comments

of people that are simply followers of trends/ other people’s opinions or maybe they just aren’t into the watch. Honestly if you love the watch there’s nothing else to say 😆
Do you think there are too many LE?
By: piccolochimico (aka dsgalaxy1) : April 8th, 2023-10:16
At first I'd say so, but let's set a figure for what a LE really is (or should be). There are LE's of 10/20 watches, made for boutiques, which nobody will likely ever see. Do those LE's decrease the value of the watch? Not at all, the overall quality is s...
Are There Too Many LEs?..Perhaps
By: David Allen : April 8th, 2023-13:32
There are many limited editions of the Finissimo. There have been at least 42 LE releases out of 98 total unique reference numbers for the Finissimo lineup (I keep a spreadsheet of all data I can collect on the Finissimo because I'm a big fan). On the sur...
That's a great work

Japan is likely the market with the highest number of dedicated LEs, Tadao Ando 1st gen is still my favourite, as well as that one of Hiroshi Senju. Recently they have introduced the 50 pieces tuscan copper dial for the US market. One day you might be wil...

You'd be right about Japan having the most LEs. They have released 17 unique reference numbers relating to Japanese watches including six from Hiroshi Senju; three from Kamine: Ryuichi Sakamoto; three from Tadao Ando; two for Japanese boutiques; two from ...

One of a few watches I’d be happy to buy today.
By: Jay (Eire) : April 8th, 2023-14:23
I love this new skeleton, as for me the prior ceramic didn’t float my boat. An OF needs to be titanium, that’s the look that sold me initially. And for those that own the OF, 60g on the wrist with a bracelet is just perfection. Would like to see this in t...
