... that in my opinion, the Cosmosign is the least desirable of all Campanolas. The reason lies in Citizen's policy of how to deal with limited editions. All other Campanolas clearly show their superiority over the standard watches from the Citizen line, be it due to their complications, or due to their marvelous dials with complex, hand-applied lacquer, galvanized parts, etc. Only the Cosmosign, originally launched in a tiny, "strictly limited" series, was first issued in another, than yet another "limited series", and finally, the heart of the watch, the astronomical display, and the engine behind it, was stuffed into a whole line of cheap watches. Unfortunately, I became aware of this only after I acquired one of the first Cosmosigns, having searched that watch for years. My joy was spoilt.

Yet I absolutely adore all your other Campanolas, Kurt!!

Marcus

The Cosmosign seems to be the 'favorite' Campanola among most (non-Campanola owning) Watch lovers. I love mine too, but it's the one that gets worn the least. I do enjoy looking at it though, as you can really get lost in the deatil of the dial. Thanks ag...
