For Thursday:
The Arnold & Son Time Pyramid in rose gold.
I'm a little distressed by the more recent iterations of this watch - they strike me as somehow gaudy, what with the profusion of materials and finishes on the "dials". I think some simplicity works better with a display of this much inherent visual complexity. (I also miss the serpentine blued steel power reserve pointers.)
The silver lining: the white chapter ring for the hours is more legible than the sapphire in the earlier model (at least in the rendering). The new one is also a bit smaller, at 42.5mm vs. 44.6mm. That will make the watch wearable for far more potential owners.

That really is a stunning looking Arnold & Son Time Pyramid in rose gold.
I have to say I really don't know much about this brand's watches but have to agree that the rose gold version does look more elegant and that the newer version does seem a little loud. Marc
