Timeless...

As the saying goes, they don't make 'em like they used to.  Well conceived, elegant, timeless.  And, for the 5196 detractors out there, note how the seconds sub-dial is placed symmetrically between the center and the 6 on this piece - like on the 5196.  Yes, a small movement is a valid consideration, but the overall aesthetic should take precedence (at least in my view) as this piece shows — with that blue adding a final exclamation point. Cheers everyone.

Some years ago I posted the Ref 3445 in rose gold and in white gold, but with white dials. Here is a white gold with a blue dial. A very alluring one I could see some months ago. To be compared to the rose gold and the white gold: As always, it is incredi...

You know me. I like small seconds. I often feel on a dress watch a large second hand is too much movement and thus inelegant. Thus, for dressier watches, I normally prefer a petit second. Je voudrais un montre avec un petit second.

Ca marche! ;)

These are absolutely amazing, and those lugs! 👌

The blue dialled version is certainly alluring! - but I'm not fussy. )

Pure eye candy this one Nicolas!
