Still can't agree
perhaps, individual definition of complications differs.
Based on your logic, every watch is a complication to me.

Does Patek Produce Fusee and Chain Like A. Lange & S
Hello, are there any wristwatch experts out there that can talk about Fusee and Chain? A. Lange & Sohne, my second favorite watch brand after Patek Philippe puts Fusee and Chain in their "Pour Le Merite" line of watches. What is it that Patek does in this...
it would seem largely contrary to Patek's design philosophy as I understand it
Hi parkavenue740, The only companies that currently manufacture movements with fusee and chain mechanisms are Lange and Cabestan to my knowledge. Lange was the first company to manufacture a wristwatch with a fusee and, while it may be true that marine ch...
The Fusee and Chain is not necessary today like before
Hello John, What you say makes alot of sence John. I think your right that Patek Philippe is more a practicle Mechanical type of Company and A. Lange is more Mechanical Art, and lastly Vacheron Constantin is even more artsy and The Diamond Watches, where ...
the RL PLM but be demonstrably more accurate, but likely not by much
Hi Thomas, I've never tested a Richard Lange or certainly a Richard Lange PLM for accuracy "in the lab" or "on the wrist", but I imagine that you'd find more sample variation in rate consistency across positions and states of wind with either model than y...
Breguet
The Breguet Marie Antoinette pocketwatch should also have a chain fusee. The new Breguet La Tradition Tourbilllon may is also to feature a chain fusee. Patek to my knowledge has not produced a chain fusee watch yet.
Complicationwise, how complicated is a Fusee and Chain compared to other complications?
How does the Fusee and Chain in difficulty and complexity when compared to the Minute Repeater, Tourbillion, Split second chronograph, celestial? Anyones wristwatch wisdom will be much appreciated
Fusee & chain, miniute repeater, split second, celestial...
are complications, IMHO. Tourbillon and chronograph are not. I have seen 12 pieces of very nice tourbillon produced by Seagull two days ago with average price of USD4,000. I have seen cheap working but fake AP RO chronograph and many more. So far, I have ...
A chronograph is definitely a complication!
Hi, I know that a tourbillon is generally not considered a complication as it brings no function, but if you see how tiny it is, I hardly see it as un-complicated! A fusee-chaine device is not more a complication than a tourbillon in the same logic! The d...

Every watch is a complication indeed
Hi, Specially since we already have the time on the fridge! AFAIK a complication is something that is added to the indication of the hours, the minutes and the seconds! So in this logic a PP 5101 is not a complicated watch but a JLC Master Tourbillon is (...
