Pic of the day: The backside of the Constant Escapement

Friends,
I don't know how many times I have looked at this photo. 
The movement is not decorated with beautiful patterns or Geneva bars, but each time I look at this pic I loose myself....

Have a great Tuesday!

And I will come back to it, later.

If only I could fund it!

Best,

Nicolas

If we co-fund it....?

We could wear it half year each!

Yes, the price tag is a problem... 
Otherwise I think many of us here would get it in a heartbeat!

if it only had a different dial design. While I understand the wish to show the CE mechanism at work, I do not like large watch cases with small time dials. Just my personal preference and taste.

I agree on the small dial....

But in this case I would make an exception!

The Neo Tourbillon is another example where I would think it's OK with small dial...

Just a photo I have lying around......






I actually prefer the look of the Constant Escapement in rose gold.

Exactly my cup of tea. ;) [nt]

Thank you for adding this shot, Bill!

And I agree with you, I prefer the CE in PG!

For a 48 mm watch it is quite wearable....

 
 By: WHL : September 18th, 2014-15:02
but alas, this was a one shot opportunity and not a daily pleasure for me:




Bill


Indeed! The short, curved lugs....

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : September 18th, 2014-15:08
Makes the watch wear smaller!
I had the same pleasure with the PG not long ago...





Unfortunately I had to give it back....



Best
Blomman

Yep. That was also this detail which made me change my mind on this watch. [nt]
