Looks like the design has been cloned from Cartier Santos ; Bulgari Octo Finissimo ;Gerald Charles and Nautilus and the result is zero-originality and lack of cohesion… Yet the watch will sell as die-hard collectors will fawn over this.
The historic flagship model Lange1 had the cleanest dial. Add to this the calendar indicators without diluting the harmony of the timeless design; you have the Lange 1 Perpetual. The emphasis on the large date continues; the day indicator beautifully placed to balance the time indicator dial ; and t
This first version of the Datograph Perpetual, with its roman numerals is a pure classic. A watch that deserves greater appreciation, but sadly still remains a hidden gem.

The releases are getting alarmingly monotonous, with a few dial tweaks and virtually the very same calibers . Hardly anything that stands out to distinguish one model from the other. Am wondering whether there is any need at all for such prolific model releases..
They had created the Minerva line as a distinct sub-brand for better identity and recognition of these fantastic calibers. Similar to the Toyota and the Lexus categories Grand Seiko also suffers from an identity crisis as it is not very differentiated from the mass produced Seikos ; and thus affecti
IMHO having a seconds hand makes it convenient to not only set the watch accurately, but also measure the accuracy on an on-going basis. Perhaps if one of the chrono seconds hand can be kept running without affecting the timekeeping stability, it may be a good alternative as well. If I recall right,
It was a wonderful moment when Max Busser explained how the idea was presented by Stephen and how the watch was born. They way Stephen explained the loss of amplitude in a traditional chronograph when accuracy and stability is “most” needed; and then went on to describe how he solved this problem wi
