And my Baroque self remains quite unimpressed!!!!1 Some watches e.g. Tourbillon Messidor have to be undecorated... The movement and the tourbillon IS their decoration ... Some others like the 7137, with minimal complications (Date and reserve de marche) h...
Thank you for the pictures. I think this is a stunning piece in white gold and seeing it in white metal has just put it in my wish list. The gilloché on the dial and rotor is exquisite, and I find a better balance on the dial with the power-reserve and mo...
...or rather a different perception of beauty... Sometimes, a simpler, cleaner look in a watch (5817) can enchant me, but most of times a watch back, like the one in my perpetual 5327, is able to make me look at the engraving like a work of Art.... That d...
I would not dream of questioning your sense of aesthetics, my friend and colleague Tassos. Perhaps it is just that my perception of beauty is a little simpler, more neoclassical, than your Baroque taste. Plenty fine examples of both where I live. I saw th...

Hi Nicolas, Remember I asked if the JLC use the IWC movement.....I just came across that article again and pull an extract from it. I attach a copy below form your info. Let me know your thoughts. Kindest Regards, Jack "There are a few other interesting o...
Hi Jack, It might be helpful to post a general question on moonphase watches on HoMe. I don’t recall this topic being discussed for a while and you might flush out some nice pictures, which is always a bonus. You could describe what your favourite aspects...
This one in WG is just awesome, lovely, stunning...Do you feel my love for this piece?LOLOL Thanks for posting a pic of it, and feel free to post many others... In France we call if " La Chinoise"... Best. Nicolas
Hi Nicolas, Just received a call from my AD confirming Ref 313X is to discontinued. Hurry up if you want one! My AD is going to have one 3137 in WG arriving today. I am going to take a look, but at the moment I am more inclined to its replacement 7137. Th...
