VC
the VC and PP kinda duplication isnt it, since both lemania based?
i woiuld go for VC/PP followed by Lange, ending with AP
VC Patrimony Chrono
VC Patrimony first, PP 5070 second.
Hororgasm: the VC Malte Chrono. used a Lemania movement, but the VC Patrimony Chrono. introduced at SIHH 2009 (and released in WG this week) uses an in-house VC movement.

Are you sure?
The press release for the new Patrimony chrono refers to the movement as a Cal. 1141, which is the VC name for the Lemania chrono.

I stand corrected
Aaron,
Rookie mistake on my part, forgetting the convention of renaming calibers.

Drum roll...
Very fine competitors. My vote is: VC, PP, Lange, GP, AP, Glasshute, Blancpain.
Winners all.
AP, GP, VC, PP
Based on aesthetics alone...
My first place vote would go to the AP. However, if I factor in movement originality and finishing, my vote would go to the Lange.
Best,
Mitch
Based on the aesthetics of the dial/case alone...
...I give the edge to the VC for an extra touch of elegance which the GP doesn't quite capture. However, I really like the GP, as well.
Cheers,

Aesthetically, it's the GP.
I have a feeling, though, that pic does not do the Lange justice, and I suspect in terms of the movement the Lange will surpass those in the contest. The new Montblanc is my favorite new chrono based on pictures alone, and it's not in the contet. And the Duomètre is still the one I most want to add to my collection.
Best,
Jed
AP followed by BP(for it's simplicity and uncluttered appearance) [nt]
As follows:
1. AP
2. Lange
3. VC
4. PP
5. GO
6. GP
7. BP
If montblanc minerva is listed here.......it will be placed above PP.
My favorite is Vacheron Constantin, followed by...
...
2) Audemars Piguet
3) A. Lange & Söhne
4) Girard Perregaux
5) Patek Philippe
6) Glashütte Original
7) Blancpain
You neglected Breguet...
I don't have a pic of the regular one, but here is the split second with guilloche dial
and here is the enamel one from Basel 2008

You are correct about
not rattrapantes or snail dial versions
because then this list would look much different
my intention was to see what PuristS prefer among models
that came out in last couple of years
and it seems like AP & GP are favorites
Thank you for input though
Damian
There is a non-split
Version with almost the same guilloche dial, I just don't have a picture of it

Nice one but
Thank you anyway for sharing
