Sunny side up eggs for me too!

 

Well Oliver, you made a very nice encounter there.

The balance wheel structure is indeed inspired from Eiffel creations.

I saw it last year during the Belles montres in Paris (and hope to see it again this year).

The WG version is my favorite too. As you said in spite of the fact it is a more classical looking and shaped watch from MB&F it is easier to wear in everyday life. But yet, it remains quite important on the wrist and not that easy to wear finally.

But I think that one should "pull it off" when it comes to bigger watches. Important size watches may be similar to having thick or very original glasses frame, or an original tie etc ...

This can be really well integrated to your clothing and accepted if you cross a psychological hurdle.

Thanks for your thoughts about this important watch and for the pictures Oliver.

Cheers,

Mark

PS: Some of my (crappy) pictures.

Let me start with a picture that came to my mind when I sa w it for the first time ... ... one from the World Exhibition - P aris 1889. Maybe I s pent too much time with reading about that time, recently :-) The watch was presented in 2011 and caught my a...  

Love at first sight.

If I could afford one MBF, it would be this one. Not that I am insensible to others MBF creations, but I don't have the style of life nor the wrist for them. But this one is something. Less exuberant than the others, more conventional, certainly, the conc... 

My fav version is the PG one.

I find it very luminous. The LM1 is what I call a retro-neo watch and not a neo-retro. It is an innovative watch which could have been created in the past. When we analyse it, we can find a lot of common points with the HM4. Yes, yes! Thanks for your post...

Come on, I am sure you took them with love :-) Thanks! Oliver

Feels like yesterday...

hard to believe it's almost been a year since we checked out the Mad Gallery. Thanks again for showing me around Geneva, and I hope all is well with you, Oliver! Best, Chris ...  

Hey Chris ...

it was my pleasure and I hope you are fine as well. You did an addictive trip, you spent lots of time at PuristS ... still fine? :-) Oliver

Still doing fine

You are right, it was an addictive trip... can't wait to visit Europe again one day! Let me know if you ever visit Vancouver, maybe I can return the favour :) All the best, Chris

this is the first watch I bought in 2012, and I am still very much in love with it

i can say with confidence that I wouldn't tire of it, and the watch has longevity in affection and thrill. It bridges the traditional movement finishing with modernity in concept, marrying it with a art-deco 1920s adventurism(like you pointed out in refer... 

the design could be considered restrained compared to other models

 
By: G99 : November 21st, 2012-10:58
But it is all the nicer because of that i think. I really like MB&F designs, but many are 'in your face'. This is a pleasant change without being boring. I am very interested as to how they managed to have 2 dials with totally seperate time capability whi...
