As for the hands, I’m not sure. This is not exactly what I would call syringe style… Real syringe style hands are the ones of Patek 5172G or 5224R, or in a certain way the Breguet Type XX ref 3800 (but for a purist this latter is not even exactly syringe)

Took this a couple of weeks ago, overlooking Merdeka 118 - the tallest building in Southeast Asia.

Putting on a different kind of shoe for my 5172 and I must admit, I absolutely adore the look and the added vintage vibe to the watch. Let’s just hope the bracelet holds up 🤞🏿

So manual chrono over auto Perpetual over annual Worldtimer over GMT And a combination of these “lesser” complications never trumps a watch with only a single “more advanced” complication.

"TIE" between 5070 and 5172 because - subdials in 5070 is balanced with the middle aligned with the 3 to 9 horizon - 5172 has beautiful syringe hands and whole numerals vs 4 partially cut numerals in 5070 Please award 0.5 point to each

From left to right: A favorite? For me, clearly the 5070P, here. Best, Nicolas

And it turns out that, whereas Patek Philippe like Lebois, uses 5 intervals/minute with 4Hz and also 3Hz movements, Vacheron Constantin, on the other hand, adapts the number of intervals to the frequency of the movement: 5 intervals/minute for 2.5Hz, 3 in

I looked very closely at the Lange 1815 chrono (early and current versions) but couldn't love the case nor dial. The 5170 (breguet numerals) won easily in those areas. I thought the 5172 dial was unnecessarily large and thought that size might not age wel
