Stacked!
But why on earth did I take such a crazy photo? Best, Emmanuel From top to bottom: Patek Philippe Chronometro Gondolo ref. 5098P-001 Laurent Ferrier Galet Micro-Rotor Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache ref. 5000H/000R-B059 Chopard L.U.C Quatt...
Thank you so much! I find this photo a little crazy (I mean, the slightly risky stacking it involves),
but I'm glad you like it. Best, Emmanuel
Well, stacking 5 watches was already quite risky
so I didn't dare add the Omega (and, to be perfectly honest, I think I only wanted to stack mechanical watches, whereas the Omega is quartz). Best, Emmanuel
Thank you so much, Bob!
It felt a little risky tbh and I'm glad it ended up well. Best, Emmanuel
Ha, thank you, yes, I suppose, but it felt a little scary
and I'm glad it ended up well. Best, Emmanuel
Good question! Hard to tell exactly, but I guess it comes very close, yes...
Thank you. Best, Emmanuel
Thank you os much! This composition was a bit risky and scary,
I must say and I'm glad it ended up well. Best, Emmanuel
I guess I did, subconsciously.
The only thing I remember clearly (the photo was taken last January 10) is that the Chronometro Gondolo had to be on top... Best, Emmanuel
Crown selection =))
From top to bottom, in my opinion in terms of crown design - LF, VC, PP, LUC, Seiko
From a user/winder perspective, LF comes first, clearly,
then VC and LUC, then GS. PP comes last because the crown is small and less easy to grip. Best, Emmanuel
And the best winding experience among them is the one provided by the VC:
both really clicky and smooth: perfection. The LF is very noce too, but it's an automatic watch, so winding makes les sense and the tactile experience is just a little below the VC.
I should have thought about it!
Without it, the experience felt a little risky and scary and I'm glad everything ended up well. Thank you! Best, Emmanuel
Indeed! I feel for this poor watch!
Poor, but strong and courageously supporting the edifice. ;-) Best, Emmanuel
I'm not sure it's something one should do:
it felt a bit risky and scary, tbh... I'm glad everything ended up well. Best, Emmanuel
Fun indeed, and a bit risky and scary too!
But everything turned out well. Best, Emmanuel
Gondolo on top definitely!!
Well I guess its also the Patek's curved crystal that makes it difficult to balance another on top of it. However that being the case, I just knew Emmanuel ,would at a heart beat, let the 5098 be the one to rule them all! Agree the Patek crown is not easy...
Yes, Rishi, the Gondolo had to be on top,
first, because it's my top watch, and then because it has a curved caseback, which could match the domed crystal of the LF, which has a flat caseback (so it needed to be placed in second position). I wish you a great week ahead too! Best, Emmanuel
Indeed and I don't think I will try this again!
Or at least I'll use blue tack or something... Best, Emmanuel
That’s another level…
Pro level actually 😉 How do you make them hold together? Do you stick them together with “Patafix”? Do you use a support hidden behind the watches? I cannot imagine they hold together just by magic… 😉 Anyhow your pics are amazing 👍👏👏
I am used to photo stacking but wouldn’t dare stacking my watches 🙈
Cool photo! Well done 👍👏👏
Thank you, Mike, but it felt a bit risky and scary, tbh,
and I'm not sure I will try that again! Best, Emmanuel
Yes, it could correspond to a certain extent, but in fact there are also technical constraints:
the caseback of the 5098 is curved and the LF has a domed crystal, so they both had to be on top with the Gondolo above the LF. Best, Emmanuel
What a cool „crazy“ shot !.. All great tic-tacs, indeed !
My favs are the PP Gondolo & the VC CdV; but the others are fine stack members as well ! Cheers 😊
Thank you so much! The PP had to be on top
because of its curved caseback and the LF had to be just below because of its domed crystal. But the PP is also on top because it’s in a class of its own for me. The other three in rose gold are difficult to rank as each one has a special charm. Best, Emm...
Great picture ...
of some lovely watches. It looks like fun - even when risky ;-) The different crowns represent the design approach of the brands quite well. Nice!
Yes, I fully agree: the crowns say a lot about the overall design choices.
Thank you! Best, Emmanuel
Thank you so much, K!
I was a little worried that the watches might slip and fall, but everything turned out fine in the end! Best, Emmanuel
