usual look of a classic watch with lugs. It does not have a round or a square or a rectangular dial, strictly speaking. It looks like a dress watch reduced to its most basic form. I love the Calatrave and feel that it is the finest example of a wrist watc...
Fouad, the question is
Will this appeal last? Of course, you argued very well about the Ellipse. But at the end, won't you be tired of this special old looking shape? Best, my friend. nicolas

I think the dial is too good to explain, . . . . it tells the story itself. . ....
