Thanks for the wonderful article. You have done it justice
I have owned the golden elipse blue dial in white gold for ten years now and have always loved it. People would have laughed at me for being old fashioned. I truly think that it is a very unique watch, a class of its own. Classy, understated. Thanks again for you wonderful article and pictures!! It reminds me to take it our of the box and wear it again!!!
40 years of Golden Ellipse

Hi My first ellipse in yellow gold blue dial is wound by hand. I never had any trouble with this watch - never had to change the strap Keeps good time Glad that you like this model and hopefully they will make future versions in platinum now that they hav...
Magnificent review Jerome
I have always hankered after a blue faced Ellipse but could never bring myself to buy one A recent article in PP magazine has re-invigorated interest in this model Julian

Thanks Dje for the superb review. I was hoping to see photos of the stainless steel model. Any chance?
wonderful report Dje!
i love them all! The Anniversary Set is perfect!! Thanks for posting, great watches Ian
Very nice topic, Jerome!
The Ellipse is not my cup of tea, even if the platinum one, with the blue dial, is nice. It just doesn't sing to me. But your post, yes! This is certainly the curious shape of the case which doesn't attract me, but as always a Live Experience is necessary...
Thanks for the report Jerome
I like the Ellipse very much. In my mind it is one of the best formal dress watches out there, perfect for black tie, unless you are James Bond, then you wear Omega or Rolex. - SJX
Thanks for the presentation Dje!
I really appreciate this new piece, more so with the fact that it is crafted in my most favourite metal! The big BUT for me though comes with the fact that this houses an automatic movement, something that I wont do! With my recent purchase of my very 1st...
One of the most unscientific ways
to find out if it is an automatic is to ask your mother if she had to wind them daily. LOL Or, you may gently swirl it around a few times and set it down. if it is an automatic, it will run on its own without manually winding. If it has a petite second ha...
Thanks, Jerome.
for the report. Love the blue gold sunburst dial against the platinum. Very clean and simple. I like the vintage/nostalgic look of the Eclipse but the one thing that it doesn't have for me is, a Sweep Second Hand. The box, on the other hand, very cool. Lo...
