of clothes. Back to the Future - we have been here before in the 1970's and we are re-inventing the digital wheel on this one. Sorry, but a waste of talent. Bulky and for what purpose? The DeBethune Digitale has a lightness of touch that makes it palitable . The whole notion of mechanical watches forming a come back against the quartz was to show craftsmanship and artistry. You can brand this a 'post-modern' take on the haute horologie of the twenty-first century, but in the same way that Opus 8
