Differences between two sibling calibers
Hello Zhege,
I want to show a particularity in the GO perpetual calendar: two calibers nearly equal with a different management of one indication...

The charme of the perpetual calendar hit me too!
The perpetual calendar emphasizes the passage of time... has a "romantic" aspect that is not easy to find in the horological complications. Apart from technical arguments, think of a machine that can mark the "time" (in all its multiple) in a so intimate ...
Thank you very much indeed!
I am very pleased to know that you like this photo... There are the oil lamp of my grandfather (he was a railwayman) and, in the background, the watercolors of my children: I cannot ask for more! Felice 2014 Nico! massi
