Luckily for Patek...
the fortunate few who procures one of these will not notice or be bothered by the so called 'design flaws' that some of us dwell on.
I certainly wouldn't kick it out of bed if the price for admission is within my grasp. Perfection is hard to determine and what is deemed perfect for some may be boring for others. Surely, no one can criticize the dial design on the Haldimann H9 - a black hole is a black hole 
. But would you buy one? Maybe this is too extreme a comparison.
Which reminds me of a story I once heard: a guy was walking along Muscle Beach in S. California and saw Arnold Schwarzenegger 'pumping iron' and told his friend, "I wouldn't want to look like that!" Arnold overheard and shot back: "don't worry, you never will."

The moon is always overhead and virtually all moon phases by other watchmakers and PP have always had them upright. Why would PP change that now. It is disorienting to see the moon upside down! Is there some sort of mechanical reason that forced them to p...
