the lemania ch 27 chrono c12 aka 2320 is a top of the range movement

I think the lemania 2327 or the movement that served as the base for the patek ch 27-70q or the movement found in the vacheron constantin chronograph "les historiques" is a proven perfomer, it has been concepted in the forties and tested successfully with the speedmaster during nasa flights. Also a lemania 2327 or a 321 is much nicer than a valjoux 72 and more sturdy in terms of construction. Lemania has also built another legenday movement, the 5100 which was a truely heavy duty movement beating the crap of the 7750 for its instant dial legibility, extreme ruggedness and its reliability. Lemania is a proven very top the range movement manufacture above frederic piguet in terms of quality and craftsmanship. I wouldn't put Lemania's savoir faire in question when it comes to chronograph movements. This message has been edited by georgeszaslavsky on 2011-08-16 00:59:28

then you are probably best served with a 7750 Joking aside, I am not sure this is a sensible metric to buy a six-figure-watch, in that range it is mainly about what "gets" you emotionally. For myself, for example, the Dato movement excites me and is a sel... 

Did you notice someone complaining about his PP 5970? :)

Or about his K. Voutilainen housing a Peseux 260? In house or not in house, this is an eternal debate, indeed. The biggest advantage of the in house movement is that it demonstrates a more complex approach from the Manufacture, rather thabn housing and ad...
