My dear friend,

heartfelt congratulations on your Datograph! A L&S is still missing in my collection, so I’m even happier to see it with you. Your Datograph is simply world-class. One of my favorite watch stories: Even Philippe Dufour (arguably one of the greatest watchm

It's definitely subjective

and I would look at total years of production and number released per year. Philippe Dufour has released 220 Simplicity since 2000 with 0-7 pieces made per year. To me that's rare although we see them regularly in auctions. On the other hand, if a manufac

Opposites attract!

Its a great shot... One built like a tank...one pure refinement. One tool, one dress...both luxury, and one being super famous brand, the other being independent, still much under the radar. Perhaps the next Philip Dufour in the making... I truly respect

Do You Buy Quality Or Do You Buy A Brand Name?

Let's face it. Some of us get excited simply because there's a Patek Philippe logo on a wallet. Not realizing those wallets are made by an external corporate gifts supplier who hired a contract manufacturer in Florence, Italy to make the wallets. An emper

Totally agree on AK.

Very distinct design and I’d prefer one in a heartbeat to a modern RR watch. Don’t get me wrong the new ones are beautiful watches but seems like everyone is trying to become a Philippe Dufour these days and frankly in some cases it is starting to loose i

If you always wanted a rectangular independent - Schnelle Watches ⌚️🇩🇪
