Hmmm, now I’m going to put my Resonance on on the weekend. I think it’s the most inspiring watch I’ve owned. The concept and the phenomenon really speaks to me on so many levels. I love your suits. The first looks like cashmere. I have a sports jacket from New & Lingwood in a very similar fabric.

Is how it integrates the remontoir. Perhaps it’s the most balanced of them all as it’s only the time display that stands out. A lovely, warm version.

I think the way they treat the Pt surface is AMAZING. Even if it is heavy as hell, it’s a good kind of heavy ad Ed says.
