Suggestions, Andy? So many
If you consider it but don't want to spe,nd a moutain of money, I see 2 brands:
1/ JLC, which is, as you know, an in gouse movement, and offers a good choice between the Master Perpetual Calendar, the Master Grand Reveil, or the A.Lecoultre, to end with the Gyro Tourbillon 1...LOL
2/ Ulysse NARDIN, which is noty an in house movement, but a Lemania ( Not sure ??? ) but remorked by UN, and the olny one PC to be set forawrds and backwards, which adds a the complication of the GMT, and that is as easy as fun to use...
After, you can hunt an old Da Vinci IWC, or another model from IWC...But the Da Vinci, and all except the Portuguese don't have in house movements...
Hope this helps...
Best, Andy.
But remember...2008 will be the Diver's year!LOL
The Night of The Perpetual Calendar
Well, we'll certainly are a lot ot stand near uor PC, and to observe the change of the Date... This will certainly be a different spectacle for each of us, due to the diffrent time zones, and to the different brands of our PCs... Here's what I saw.. . 1/ ...
At this moment, mine show 30 and 31 February, respectively.
I'm on the West Coast of the United States, where it is just after 11:00 PM. We'll see what the next hour brings. Congratulations on your successful changeover.
mkvc, you'll have to admit that we're living an extraordinary moment
No one till now could see in his life, or even imagine that the 30 or 31st of February really exists! LOL Thanks, but I did nothing, my PC did it for me! Best. Nicolas This message has been edited by amanico on 2008-02-29 23:10:27
That's almost spot on
with the 2 different U.N. Preptuals that we observed from the Perpetually Purists event here. Both started shortly before 21:00 and finished around 00:10. While the whole process does take a bit long in relative scale, I've got to say I'm impressed by the...
Wow...mechanical engineering at it's best...
well I now have 4 years to track down a PC for the collection..!!! Great piece too Nicolas..!! Andy.
Thanks, Andy, my friend
4 years to pick a PC for the collection? Wow, it can be fastrer than you think! LOL I think that a PC is really a nice complication to add in a collection, something magic, indeed, and this event showed it. Go for the hunt! LOL Nicolas
Any suggestions...??
Apart from the magical wonder inside I think it is special that the face will never look the same twice...even from second to second it will never be the same again. Andy.

(pssst) . . . don't forget the G O perpetuals, Andy . . .
. . . reasonable in cost (especially in steel), durable (see Allen's comments about his seven year old Navigator perpetual which still performed it's magic with nary a service), rugged (my story about the drop onto a hard tile floor has been told many tim...

Normal, BHK9, you're the king of the PC
Well, that's what I thuoght before contemplating Jester's collection... If not the king, you're at least the Prince, my friend. I'm a bit thinking of our conversation about multiplicating the pieces on the same complication...If you know what I mean... I'...

Hi nicolas, Thanks for the nice nice words, iam still flatter by your kind remarks.LOLOL...to be the king or prince.LOLOL.... On you getting into trouble,i would say merely....that's fine and normal.LOLOL....there are plenty of complication to cope with t...
What about a loud and clear complication, now?
Hey, BHK9... You quite have all the PCs...So now it's time to go on other complications... A ding ding ding dang, maybe? LOL Best. Nicolas
Very nice Nicolas!
Thanks for the step by step commentary of your UN perpetual in action! Glad you don't have to send it in for servicing Cheers, Anthony
