Some say that 'perfection' does not exist.......
Apart from the hundreds of works of Architecture, Art, Sculpture, and Music where centuries of human endeavour have produced unparalleled 'masterpieces'...... In the world of 'watches', where 'perfection' does not exist........ What prey tell are THESE......
I see perfection…
as a journey, not necessarily a destination. These examples are certainly doing very well on this epic journey.
This is my vision of horological perfection!
Your Credor is stunning, number 2 on the perfection list 😉 Best, E. ...
Let me confess that a reason I always wanted to be a (pure) mathematician was precisely to have a corner of my life (even if merely intellectual!!) where *actual* perfection existed! (Yep, there were also other reasons, but this was one! ;-))
While in horology I’m pretty sure perfection is impossible to find or achieve (yes, even in the historically most significant Pateks!😄)…the beauty and simplicity of your Credor is a real pleasure to look at!😄🥂 Cheers.
Makes sense to me.
The Credor is very very very good. But there is no true perfection among the things of this world that come to be and pass away. Only in the Platonic realm, of which our dear Fab is an initiate, do we find actual perfection!
I can follow your logic.....
That's why maths, science and philosophy also appealed to me....I hoped you would like the Credor my friend 🙏 Didn't know what you felt about Spring-Drive though....?
Ohh you're so right....!
And this is a Porcelain Dial......NOT a 3rd rate ENAMEL Dial!!! Why don't watch collectors know the difference between Porcelain and Enamel? Enamel is glorified PAINT!!!!! Using a metal base of copper, bronze, silver or gold...paint is mixed with silica (...
Toilets are made of porcelain, lol. Not exactly a rarety although not generally used in watches...
Nice examples of "perfection" OP, or at least as close a we mere mortals can conjure up. Here's my example...(don't own it) ...
You are lucky....
If I'm not mistaken, your Presage comes with a solid Porcelain dial.....and at a ridiculously low price 👏
Porcelain toilets and basins are an entirely different process....
But porcelain toilets and basins made 100 years ago, still look today like they did when leaving the factory..... Remember the old enamelled steel bathtubs? Baths are too big and 'flat-sided' to successfully make in porcelain..,..but as soon as acrylic be...
That beautiful 'Classic' pocket watch design....
has Has become the basis of a model in many watch manufacturer's inventory including Philippe Dufour's Simplicity, A Lange and Sohne, to name just two... ...
For me, perfection (or something close to it) can often become a boring thing
thinking of driving the newest 911, talking to top models, looking at clean dials, living in perfect houses... I prefer a little imperfection - that makes life more interesting
Care
If something is wrong i start to take care. Especially when a watch do not hold time. When a watch speaks to me, but the watch brand is not popular in the watch community. The Credor is in some way also an overlooked watch. Strangely i place Credor in the...
