Classic layout Chrono Competition - A Roll Call
Dear PuristS There is obviously serious Classical layout Chronograph Competition So please cast your vote for favorite one among listed (in alphabetical order) Thank you in advance Damian...
VC
the VC and PP kinda duplication isnt it, since both lemania based? i woiuld go for VC/PP followed by Lange, ending with AP
VC Patrimony Chrono
VC Patrimony first, PP 5070 second. Hororgasm: the VC Malte Chrono. used a Lemania movement, but the VC Patrimony Chrono. introduced at SIHH 2009 (and released in WG this week) uses an in-house VC movement. Park
Are you sure?
The press release for the new Patrimony chrono refers to the movement as a Cal. 1141, which is the VC name for the Lemania chrono. A
I stand corrected
Aaron, Rookie mistake on my part, forgetting the convention of renaming calibers. Park
Drum roll...
Very fine competitors. My vote is: VC, PP, Lange, GP, AP, Glasshute, Blancpain. Winners all.
AP, GP, VC, PP
the others are nice but they don't have the "I don't know what" of the aforementioned pieces.
Based on aesthetics alone...
My first place vote would go to the AP. However, if I factor in movement originality and finishing, my vote would go to the Lange. Best, Mitch
Based on the aesthetics of the dial/case alone...
...I give the edge to the VC for an extra touch of elegance which the GP doesn't quite capture. However, I really like the GP, as well. Cheers, Daos
Aesthetically, it's the GP.
And that surprises me. I'm really looking forward to seeing one. I have a feeling, though, that pic does not do the Lange justice, and I suspect in terms of the movement the Lange will surpass those in the contest. The new Montblanc is my favorite new chr...
As follows:
1. AP 2. Lange 3. VC 4. PP 5. GO 6. GP 7. BP If montblanc minerva is listed here.......it will be placed above PP.
My favorite is Vacheron Constantin, followed by...

You neglected Breguet...

beauts
hahaha...both are beauts...was just playing with them both earlier in the evening!!!
You are correct about
the Breguet but I wanted to list only "classic" chronos not rattrapantes or snail dial versions because then this list would look much different my intention was to see what PuristS prefer among models that came out in last couple of years and it seems li...
There is a non-split
Version with almost the same guilloche dial, I just don't have a picture of it a
Nice one but
I listed all that were presented in last couple of years not discontinued models Thank you anyway for sharing Damian
Understood. This malte chrono should be the same exact size with
the latest VC chrono. Good luck!
AP/GP/PP ex aequo...
... For there is only one truly classic chronograph form factor: round case, rectangular chronograph buttons, subdials at 3 and 9, railroad track seconds and tachy scale on the outside of that (but on the dial), stick hour markers, perhaps alternated with...
