First time I have seen both side by side ...
They are both stunning. Thanks for posting. Honestly, I wasn't aware their differences in size until now. Cheers! Wilson
Sorry for the poor quality pics, but worth a look......
Had a brief meeting with a friend and was able to snap these iPhone pics. Simplicity and Observatoire. Spectacular pieces, best of the best IMHO, and so interesting to examine the details side by side. Also can't wait to see what comes next from these mas...

LOL... That hadn't even crossed my mind....
How many km apart do those timezones need to be to get 14 seconds difference ? Don
Wonderful, Tahoeblue!
Great to see these two pieces together. The second photo does a great job of showing the striking Geneva stripes on the Dufour -- and both watches look great. On the Observatoire, white metal with navy strap -- hmm...we know what that means, right? Best, ...
Thanks Tahoeblue...............
For your lovely photos. Like many of us, these two great pieces, are the pinnacle of Horology.
No...

It doesn't get much better than that...
Utterly fantastic pair. Thanks for sharing! Did anyone lose their appetite for lunch?
