my personal take on it....
Jan 01, 2022,11:22 AM
IMHO Trinity itself is a school of thought, where the names are 'fixed' & not changeable for many decades...
Rather I think there should be no 'trinities' but rather the 'most deserving' at a given time.
one common underlying point on my 3 choices...these brands have earned my respect by 'not doing' a Limited Edition to any 'online influential editorial' (from my knowledge).
Rolex - Let us be clear, one of the biggest by production but top notch in terms of accuracy & robustness at every price point. Probably one of the best overall package.
ALS - One of the best in the Grand Maison...Top notch finish at every price point. True they don't design every movement in house, but extremely original designs or ''very firsts'' (Zeitwerk, Triple split comes to my mind).
JLC - Technically brilliant especially the >40k range (Duometre Chronograph, Amvox Chronograph, Master Grande Tradition Gyrotourbillion Westminster Perpetuel).
I wouldn't add any Indies because,
1) the preferred list of Indies at the moment is too long than what I can buy...
2) there'll always be the 'next independent' - Big or Small, it is inevitable....some will remain, some will not exist & some will be integrated to a conglomerate !
Best,
