LarsG initiates a fascinating comparison between two watches that, despite a significant price and size difference, share an unexpected connection to royal heritage and design philosophy. His post invites readers to consider how factors beyond movement and cost contribute to a watch's appeal and perceived value. This discussion highlights the enduring allure of classic design and the personal stories that make a timepiece truly special.
but your quartz watch looks terribly elegant and objectively is a steal for the price difference. And I actually prefer the dial colour on your watch as it gives the watch a vintage feel.
...I have a very classic-looking quartz watch that my wife gave to me (Brooks Brothers). Because of that it is more dear to me than my Rolex...
The Ole Mathiesen watch.
The L&H is fantastic craftmanship. They usually name their watches after Kings who ruled in the Dresden area, this is no exception. My Ole Mathiesen surely punches above its weight. It is a good looking watch. Classic design and roman numerals which I like. Enjoy!
Sometime it’s not the prize but the history that matters. Enjoy!
40 mm, 10 mm height with quartz movement. Ole Mathiesen focuses on the so called “danish design principles” where simplicity and functinality is paramount. Ole Mathiesen had been around for more than 100 years and is appointed to the Royal danish Crown - Why I put it beside the Lang & Heyne because of the royal connection. Enjoy!
