My Sympathie (pre-Richemont)
The most asked question I get is “what is the 300 scale for on a time only watch”. ...
So many dial options, but I think this is one of the best
I wish there were more guilloche options for the Sympathie. I think guilloche has a lot of potential for this watch, but none of the very few versions I've seen are what I would consider to be ideal for the case shape.
The movement makes 18,000 vibration per hour.
RD put 300 divisions instead of the standard 60 marks per rev. There are 5 "ticks" per second. -John
Such a beautiful and elegant watch . Been looking to find one too .
Thanks for sharing and looking to see more pics
Beautiful watch...
I have seen this version, before. I will say that I am surprised at how many different versions there are of the Sympathie. Sizes, colors, dial details, crystal shapes, functions/complications, etc. All a separate series of 28 watches. I am also a big fan...
I had this exact same watch some years ago and regret parting with it.
Enjoy in the best of health.
One of the best features and also a great liability is the crystal shape
Beautiful and yet virtually unreplaceable should you break it, and tricky to seal. You win some and you lose some - hence RD made later models with a more conventional shape crystal. Very nice. Thanks Cazalea
It reminds me of my mother’s plates
Don’t get me wrong, I like both the watch and the plates ...
