You're right, of course. I just found it 'uncomfortable' on this Chronometre Royal. An eccentric reaction, no doubt. (The image of the Auricoste is here in error!)

One distinction

it is one of only two modern-era VC to display the ampersand ;-) It was an interesting piece when launched, taking the CR family to a conservative appearance after decades of sporty designs aka Phidias, 2215, and even 47022. When, not if, they decide to r... 

And manual even better!
