Horological Meandering

And huge apologies for thinking that you were merely dedicated  to macro-photography, with some carefully composed background arrangements - fine as they are!

All is forgiven - if you can forgive me for carping at where the second hand should be or an Incabloc spotlighted in a Lange as in a few of your photos.

Not so here.

For three or four years,  the Dornblüte 99.2 is the only watch that I can actually read, when I wake up in the morning without  reaching for my eyeglasses, and continue to so throughout the day (with) - about 2 Meters behind the writing desk where I post all this stuff to you!

That is because I keep it in its desk-table box in a vertical position, where it loses about a second or two per day. When I let it rest horizantally, it regains those easily within a day or two. I have been winding mine daily (!) for almost three years, with little or no variation, except for swings in temperature and air-pressure.

It is the watch that I most  give a glance to throughout the day - except when it is lying flat - but you know that I wear many, many others!

What the new Quintus will bring us is hopefully even more precision at 18,000 beats compared with the latest hightech innovations and super-fast frequencies,  and without having a "true" Swiss escapement - but with a Breguet overcoil, as well as a a new/old thought about the anchor-lever ... etcetera!

Congratulations on your decision for a Regulator.

It would indeed be mine as well, a beautiful combination!

Cheers,

Amery
