Zeitwerk

Would you mind sharing what the other 4 are? My top 5 are (in no particular order) the 1815 rattrapante (in honey gold), the zeitwerk, the PLM tourbillon, the Richard Lange minute repeater, and the 1815 chrono (controversial, but I like it more than the d

The current ZW has a single disc on the left outer edge with 13 numerals, to display the hour in a single window. How could 24-hour time be displayed? I can think of 3 options: 1 Somehow cramming all 24 hours onto the existing disc without reducing the si

I actually quite like the Zeitwerk Date as photographed - in the abstract. When I had a chance to handle one a few weeks ago, I discovered that I could not read the date without reading glasses on, and with some difficulty even with the glasses. For my ey

Pictures taken at the SIHH, in 2019. The movement is superb. The front, a bit less my taste. Best, Nicolas

For me, a key design feature of the ZW is the crisp, clean, precise way that the ZW shows me the time. I like that the ZW shows me only what's happening on home base, and screens out what's happening in the dugout, in the bullpen, and elsewhere on the fie
