A quick picture ( or two ) of the Sonata.
Well, quick is not the good word, as I took it with all the manual settings of my camera, but here is the outcome.
The decoration of the dial is breathtaking... It only misses the sound to fully appreciate it on picture.
Enjoy,
Best,
Nicolas

Blue Dial Sonata
Hi Nicholas: I thought I recall a picture of a wrist scan of the blue dial piece. Did you own that at a previous time? Your posts over the past few weeks on the merits of this watch have excited me to consider this piece. My AD is getting me both a blue d...
No, Joe. I " only " owned the silver dial.
And still own it with great pleasure. This is part of my hard core collection, one of these watches I consider as a keeper, undisputably. I still remember the day I bought it, it was 7 years and a half ago... I wish you the same pleasure with yours, if yo...
Will do and Thanks
BTW: I wanted to ask your opinion on your Emil Lange moonphase. I have a chance to purchase a safe queen. I read one of our posts on selling your patek 5712 due to setting of the moon phase. I felt with the Lange that the beauty is just looking at the dia...
This is a piece of Poetry, so the issue of the moonphase is
Real, at least for me, as I am tired to have to set a moonphase ( which is fastidious, if you want to be sure that the indocation is the good one ), BUT it is such a superb piece that I would make an exception for it. In fact, I made an exception, yet. Be...
Thanks for your thoughts
I'm the crazy one. I have sizes across the spectrum. I love a piece for what is. 36mm is fine. I am hopeless in love with that piece. The same as my anniversary piece. I know you share the love. Best Joe
Here is a pix of the Blue Dial Piece
This was my trial run at the AD. Isn't this baby beautiful? I might have to change my name to "blue man" Thanks, Nicolas for exposing me to the Sonata. Joe...
Well, you know my love for this watch.
But now the question is: What will you do? Best, Nicolas.
Really
like the sonata alot ! However, does not sit well on my puny wrist ... The judicious splash of red on the dial really livens the watch. Gives it more "depth" Great photos as always !
Thanks for your input, Flamenco.
This is such a fascinating watch, aesthetically and acoustically. Best, Nicolas
I am more attracted to this beauty
than the freak...had a very close encouter not long ago...and almost pulled the trigger.....why didn t I? In my wish list for too log now. Mo
You will, one day. You will.
It is like a Mermaid... Once you heard it, you can't forget it. And it would perfectly fit in your collection. Best. Il Diavolo.
The Sonata stands alone for me...
A unique alarm mechanism and a very distinctive style. Of the "complicated" UNs I lust, this would likely be my choice if it were within budget.
Same preference, here...
A watch I use and wear a lot, during these almost 8 years of co existence... While I didn't use the perpetual calendar so much, even if I loved it a lot. But, in my heart, the Sonata is Nr One, slightly ahead the Freak. Which means a lot. Best, my friend....
It makes me think that maybe we will have good news soon...
Maybe... you know what I'm thinking about. Great pics BTW. Fx
I remember when that watch played a tune for us in Paris....
and what a beautiful tune it was. The best I have heard and I hope to hear it again one day. Regards. Simon
