I am happy and sad for the same reason:
Happy, because the Geophysic family is growing, and in the same time a little bit sad: the watch won't be anymore so unique, as it was for over 50 years..
I think the new models won't be able to challenge with the original, even not with the Tribute.
But I am happy because the uniqueness of the original and Tribute Models will last forever, it would be have been a disaster, if the Geophysic models were re-produced in the same case and with the same dial, as the Tribute.
At first glance, the worldtimer model is much more far away from the simplicity of the Geophysic, and the True Second is way closer to the origins.
I like the UT much better than the other worldtimer-models from other Manufactures, but the dial is still too busy for me - as usually by the classical worldtimer models..
The dead second was never my favourite complication, because it reminds me too to the horrible quartz-era, but I am taking my hat off before the technical solution of this complication.
The new movement is a beauty, and at least I can see it!!!
To sum up, I am excited but a little bit confused at the same time, but the whole picture is positive!
I am already ordered the True Second, and it will be cheaper as Nicolas mentioned, the price will be 8400€ in Europe, at least as I informed..
Yours,
Adam
