Horological Meandering

I would like to get your point of view. Which one do you prefer ? An innovative WT (which allows you to see all the timezones at a glance) or an innovative dual timezone watch (which allows you to quickly switch between the local times of two cities of re...  

these are exquisite pieces! thankfully, i have two wrists and would wear "this" on this wrist, "that" on that wrist. the question is more difficult to answer if you have 3 WT (eg. Patek 5131) but still only 2 wrists left...

I think I slightly prefer the Breguet's elegant dial presentation, but if you can get past (or used to) all the information being presented on the VC's dial, it may be more useful "at a glance." I don't know, Fr.Xavier...great wrist shots, by the way! *st... 

Of busy dials.. and the VC is extremely busy at least for my taste ... Faisal

... I would pick the one that can take into account summer time, and if both do, they I will go for Breguet. VC is "at-a-glance" type and interesting, but a but too busy dial pattern while Breguet dial is so simply elegant (a bit too big, though, but that... 

solely because I practically don't like any watch where the crown isn't at 3 o'clock. I do have some exceptions but this Breguet isn't one of them. - AT

Is that an aesthetic/balance decision, Anthony, or a comfort issue, or perhaps a practicality (in terms of winding) issue? Andrew

but mainly it's aesthetics. - AT

I would pick the Breguet as I like the dial and the innovation, not so much the size and the material though. The VC has too much writing for my taste. In general I would take a PP 5130 for "this" and a Lange 1 Timezone for that" ! Best Andreas

The 5130 is maybe the most readable WT watch and the Lange has also its one charm being a Dual Timezone with two "dials": Fx...  

I have gone digital (Casio Pro Trek/Pathfinder in some markets...LOL there's even a Pro Trek with sapphire glass) because, it is the only way to customize the summer time issue. Which is a continously changing equation as well...This year as you may know ... 

Sadly, I couldn't handle it. But I'm not convinced by this type of complication in an aquanaut context. So I stay with my 5130 Richard. Fx

And you can do any math changes in your head ;-) Me, I like my double 24 h piece... Best, -- Richard....  

Plus it has a cleaner uncluttered look.

Interesting question FX. I could find applications for both, and for different reasons. I would travel with the Breguet because I usually want to know the local and home times only. The only issue is that I like to travel with a small light watch, and 44m... 

... from each house of recent announcement. The VC is one of very very few of VC's new creations that make my jaw drop. This WT is really beautiful and a perfect addition to VC's line. As for Breguet, they seem to be on an innovative roll as of recent, wi... 

for the gorgeous hands. I don't like Breguet hands at all. Plus this has the cool world map on the dial.

Both are gorgeous time pieces but I think the less busy dial of the Breguet is more classy and easier to read. I am personally in love with the Hora Mundi. I absolutely love the design. I think it's my favorite 2011 introduction.

I like simple watches and that vercheron has too much going on in the dail. I would think that it would be very difficult to see different time zones at a glance. Plus the breguet just looks better! I especially like the moon phase! I hope that my opinion... 

Just because I really like the blue world map, even though it looks extremely busy with all the cities and numbers.

No message body

but if i have the luxury to choose one of them...including the Lange and PP WT...i choose the VC. i find the PP rather boring, the Lange too cold, the Breguet too weird, but darn...the VC is just a work of art to me...very difficult to utilize, but if i h... 

These two watches don't have the same complication and at the end, our expectations may differ. If I read your posts, it seems that the Breguet has a shy win in this choice... the VC dial appears to be for some of you too busy: it is also what makes it at... 

Francois Thanks for your feedback on the breguet forum. I agree with you, once you have your patek wt the breguet makes a wonderful complement. I like your thoughts about the dial reducing the size appearance. Of course watch collecting presents these del... 

AND Simpler

.................Breguet. Love both pieces, but the dial on the Vacheron it's a bit too busy for me, and the movement in the Breguet is something really cool. Cheers. Vte
