If you think back to the most iconic of Vianney's watches, the Antiqua perpetual, the design and the technical mastery share the stage. Together. Pressed to choose between design and watchmaking genius, I'm now inclined to believe I'd choose the former. This tribute to the art deco era warms my hear

For an ultra complicated watch, I appreciate the choice of a contemporary design. It is done in a style that is completely distinct from the ultra-complicated pocket watches of the 19th and early 20th century. Thanks for sharing a photo of this spectacular watch.

I'm by no means an expert, but I've been observing these brands for twenty years. My thoughts. Most important is the watches. Many of the modern watches are not that appealing to the eyes.

After all, WPS may be the only place in the world where the majority may prefer your DB 25 over the Odysseus. The DB 25 is not beholden to the trends of the moment. Both great watches. There's an online retailer closely related to DeBethune's ownership. They would buy for sure. Alternatives may offe

I'm quite happy to learn that you didn't have to play games to acquire this stunning watch. Hopefully a reminder that it is more satisfying to look where others do not.

One of my favourites, a chiming countdown chronograph that many of today's watch enthusiasts may not be familiar with. The many fonts and a mixture of English and German on the dial are charming. If it was up to me, I would think about reallocating some of the single-watchmaker assembly resources to
