Thanks Magnus. I initially saw the watch in 2005 on a TX watch tour
It caught my eye but I was not enamoured with it. It was a cetianly unique design at the time .Price was astronomical .
We also visted Dufour's atelier and I foolishly did not order a piece at that time.

Our judges this session . . .
. . . are Henrik [log-in: shortys home] for Static Photo, Ed. W for Wrist Scan, and moderator Magnus B for Watch of the Week.
The decision for Static Photo is in . . .
. . . and our honoree is none other than Matt! "Good morning, Art, Well, I must say choosing the static photo this week turned out to be difficult and all too easy at the same time. The topic for this week's roll up clearly left little room for static pic...
Good choices!
Just to add to Art's comment, that's not just "a" Simplicity movement -- it is Serial Number 00, Mr. Dufour's personal watch. :-) That said, tough to match the aesthetics of these winning photos with a dinner table shot! Best, Gary
I noticed that, Gary . . .
. . . perhaps I should've written " . . . the Simplicity movement . . ." instead. :-)
Apparently, a few of our judges are Baltimore Ravens fans . . .
. . . and still celebrating last night's victory in the Super Bowl. :-) Wrist Scan and Watch of the Week verdicts will be delivered as they're received . . .
Thanks, Eddie! Wrist Scan honors have been awarded to . . .
. . . Oliver! "Hi Art, Sorry for the delay. I decided to pick small-luxury-world's Lange 1. I think the warm tones of the photo along with the monk strap shoes match the classic guilloche perfectly. Regards, Eddie" Well, you certainly didn't have a shorta...
The watch of the week can only be...
the Parmigiani Bugatti watch! It is one of those pioneering watches that paved the way for a whole school of novel 'out of the box' watch concepts. Urwerk (the recent ones), the Cabestan but also the likes of MB&F I believe owe a lot to these early bi...
Thanks, Magnus! Good call . . .
. . . insofar as the subject goes; my sentimental pick would've been . . . . . . the 'charmer' ;-) . . . ...
Certainly my sentimental pick...
and a charmer as well. Congrats to all of the winners!

Julian, I should ban you for this sentence...
" We also visted Dufour's atelier and I foolishly did not order a piece at that time. " Such a demonstration of horological incompetence... tss, tss, tss - never do this again ;-) Have a nice week, Magnus
I distinctly remember ...
... a post on ThePuristS announcing that there were only a couple of places remaining on the 200 orders, and then another post when the books were closed. [And obviously there was a bit of horse trading that went on afterwards with positions in the line.]...
I had such high hopes for last week's wristscan...next time...
Well done to the winners and wristscan category judge!
