I think people kind of lost interest in the Friday posts. Very happy if they return.

I really like the Centigraphe. It's one of my favorite pieces from the brand. I find most chronographs don't always look pretty - since they look all busy and clumsy with their sub dials. But the Centigraphe is one of the few that I like!
