Credor's inquiry into the finest micro-rotor movements sparks a vital discussion for collectors. This exploration delves into the nuanced world of haute horlogerie, where the smallest details in finishing and technical execution differentiate exceptional calibers. Credor challenges conventional wisdom by omitting Patek Philippe's caliber 240, setting the stage for a deep dive into the merits of Laurent Ferrier, Chopard, and Parmigiani, among others.
Personally, I'm partial to the Laurent Ferrier. The layout, the rotor bridge, the finishing. All excellent, and contribute to a beautiful movement. That Chopard is certainly nice too.
It's better finished than any of the above. However it is an acquired taste style wise. Cheers, Tim
Depends on what constitutes 'the best'. Bvlgari has the thinnest while retaining classical decoration and design, Czapek has a modern design, Parm, Romain, Chop....
Here the movement in a Tonda 1950. Compared to Chopard one has to distinguish : - the movement in their steel models is less well finished - the movement in the gold models is close but not exactly at the level of Parmigiani (although this is more of my subjective observation) - the movent with qualité Fleurier is every bit as good as the Parmigiani qualité Fleurier and equal to the best of the industry
Standing the test of time, even more so!
In pictures hard to dispute.
