On the wrist today...
In honor of Emmanuel and his musings on the Heritage Grand Cru. There were a lot of thoughtful observations on this piece. I suspect we might all agree that a relatively large shaped watch like this is not going to be to everyone's taste, and is certainly...
Thank you so much for this wonderful post!
I think you made the right choice keeping the Grand Cru as it looks absolutely great on your wrist and has so much qualities which you point out very well. And the shaped (96 aka) 97 caliber is simply gorgeous. Best, Emmanuel
I really like this reference. As you say it may not suit everyone's wrist, but to me it is very beautiful.
And the date is a non-issue for me here.
Sadly, I think it's now out of production.
Outside of Cartier and the Reverso, I suspect shaped watches may appeal to a limited market. The Heritage Grand Cru pops up pre-owned from time to time, but not that often.
