I’ve been told that this watch is ugly

Mar 11, 2023,04:17 AM
 

By a few collectors.  Aesthetic preferences are subjective, and I try to understand every perspective since I feel like it deepens my appreciation for watchmaking.  I’ve tried very hard, but all I see when I look at the Logical One by Romain Gauthier is beauty, innovation, and the passion of one man for his craft.

Gauthier is pure mechanics and aesthetics.

Vintage.

I’ve always been attracted to both old and new watches. I’ve never had a sole allegiance to one or the other, so I can’t understand why some can’t embrace both.

I love vintage watches, classic cars and antique furniture.

But i also appreciate newer/modern works of art. The Logical One is a real beauty and i hope to own one sometime down the road.

Well there you go. You have a nice mix of both and can respect the history and times when these were made

Some just can’t see it on either side but to describe this watch ugly would be the last word I’d come up with.

😂🤣🙉

A shockingly beautiful piece…

Please do share with me names and addresses

Well, some people don't like well; crafted watches, hell some don't even like

No comment on what others might think as you stated earlier, opinions are subjective BUT you already know how I feel about the L1...

IMHO one of the BEST watches EVER made in terms of : Architecture, Concept, Creativity, Design, Execution, Finishing, etc... I am blessed to own many amazing horological creations but the L1 could very well be the LAST WATCH STANDING if I had to choose (l... 

apart from the horological superbness of the movement

I must admit that I am not attracted by this dial at all. I would not call any dial what your friends did, but some simply don't attract me.

don't know what you mean with "the script"

 
 By: penfriend : March 11th, 2023-17:30
but for sure I did not say that I "hate" something.

The font of the logo

 
 By: Cozmopak : March 11th, 2023-17:38

no, on the contrary I like that font

 
 By: penfriend : March 11th, 2023-18:03
I simply am not hugely attracted by watches which have asymmetrical dial layouts. So for example I was also never a fan of the Lange 1 since it was presented to me in the late 90ies by Mr. Lange and Bluemlein. It is as easy as that... Up to now I have bro... 

Understood!

I mistook you for someone else, my apologies

no problem

btw: love your PP pieces

Thank you!

Never call another man’s watch or baby, “ugly”…

 
 By: NickO : March 11th, 2023-18:10
I would probably disassociate with those individuals on the basis of manners, alone.

Ha!

Big +1 🤣

This watch is disgusting!

 
 By: jp884 : March 11th, 2023-21:54
So much so that you need to send it to me to dispose of it properly

Lol!

 
 By: Cozmopak : March 11th, 2023-22:15
I can't get over how much I love this one.

Its very beautiful

 
 By: Credor : March 12th, 2023-14:46
I would love to see this watch with a tourbillon. It would be next level.

I am mildly surprised by those remarks. Full disclosure I have an L1, but I will make objective points to the “ugly” remark.

 
 By: Obeezy : March 12th, 2023-18:46
I was at an event for an extremely popular and in demand brand. I own a piece from this brand but decided to wear my L1 to the event. I was talking to 5-6 collectors who own this brand and then one asked, “What are you wearing?” I showed my L1. They all w... 

I believe that you are correct that they are in the minority

 
 By: Cozmopak : March 12th, 2023-19:09
I simply cannot understand how anyone would consider the watch unbecoming. This watch makes my heart skip every single time I look at it on my wrist

Mine too!

 
 By: Obeezy : March 12th, 2023-19:56

BIG +1 😉❤️💗☄️🔥😍

Maybe it's the sub dial.. But for the rest of the watch..

 
 By: Teacher Yang : March 12th, 2023-19:38
I think it's really nice and it stands out from other HIGH END WATCHES..!

The heart wants…

Who cares what others think. Wear what you love. Love what you wear. It’s a formidable timepiece by any metric 🤷🏻‍♂️
