Exactly. The best watches are the ones you love but hate at the same time.

There is no perfect watch... okay, maybe if you decide to order one from Les Cabinotiers.

I always wanted a mechanical Chrono...

how is this Cornes De Vache compared to ALS 1815 Chrono or PP 5170, in terms of movement, in your opinion? In terms of looks, VC looks really good.
If looks can kill, does it matter a lot? 😬

I know it all comes down to preferences but I also agree whenever I look at ALS movement, I’m always awestruck. Thank you 🙏🏻
A bit disagree with this statement regarding the weakest link

Lemania is a very reliable, ‘true historic’ movement. PP used it in the 5070 for a long time. I don’t think that using not in-house movement is a serious disadvantage for manufacture, just compare the current value of the PP5070 and PP5170. We know a lot ...

Yes, this would be a dream team. If I could have only one

I’d pick the chronograph historique as much as I like the 1921 and chronometer royale. What about you Nicolas? You get one as a gift and can never sell ot trade it. Which one would you pick?
The 1921 is a charming piece

Absolute classic. When I saw it in person, I realized why so many Purists and others were smitten by it. Really really nice in the metal
1921 and the Chrono..

Plus the Patrimony Traditionelle. I'm ok with those 3 Best, Echi
Among these 4...

The undisputed winner for me is the Cornes de Vache. The legibility is the only weak point, so expecting to see the Pt version with another dial color one day. I would also add the small seconds Traditionelle (38 mm) in the list.
That CDV and the 1921...

...perfectly sized, and such elegance! And a +1 for the 38mm Pt Traditionnelle Patrimony too!
All 4 are great
By: quattro98 : February 12th, 2019-06:02
But I think the standouts are the 1921 and Cornes de Vache. The use of color on the dial adds some visual interest and they both have great case designs. In this photo comparison, one cannot appreciate the thinness of the Ultra Thin 1955 or the beauty of ...
Reality is preferred.

Given the choice I’d much rather have a watch that looks better in person than in photographs. Watches that look better online than in person are good to add to the free virtual collection photo album.
my 5th flying ace would be...

If we talk about a dress watch with no complication, I would really like to bespeak one of those Villes Lumières with them, a great style theme invention with a lot of emotion. ...
that's not exactly what I meant, not even a dress watch
By: anon438 : February 13th, 2019-06:06
read this again: not only just another model: - Métiers d'Art Villes Lumières - The Sputnik is a stunning peace - in deed, the alternative time display not regarded a complication, but the Sputnik is certainly not a dress watch. It is more appropriate for...
What can I say
By: Jurry : March 18th, 2019-09:47
What can I say, my absolute favorite watch is on the list so I’m 100% happy already.
