OK, all began with an ordinary but gorgeous Palm Tree...

Ordinary, you think?

Have a closer look, it 's amazing...

A Nardin Palm Tree! LOL

The Fruit of the Zoom...

First, a 160 Anniversary, special Edition for the Marrakech Dealer ...LMAO.

Then, a Splendid Sonata...

So I grabbed them, to check if they weren't fake watches...

Yes, they seem authentic! LOL

After the effect of the surprise, it was time to analyze these 2 marvels...

In France we don't often have or enjoy the light to admire these 2 marvels...

The dials are beautifully executed...And the Landscape enhances their natural beauty...Here, in the " Palmeraie ", which is located at 12 Kilometers from Marrakech...

At the Swimming Pool:

Both for a bronzing seance...Blue and white, or White and blue??? That's the question! LOL

Here under an inqiuetant light, showing all the beauty and the complexity of the esthetic fo the Sonata...

As you understood, I was on holidays in Marocco for a few days, and I brought with me some watches, to enjoy them, to take the time to live with them, and to get a great pleasure with....

The Sonata is definetely a great watch, a friendly watch with its 2 complications ( alarm and GMT ), perfect when you are on to travel, and its esthetetic is something amazing...
I'm in love with it, since 4 years now....

the 160 is a modern interpretation of the Marine Chronometer, with a stunnig double escapement in silicium...A real beast too, with as very often with UN, a particular and strong esthetic...
Another piece I absolutely love...

Hope you'll enjoy this ( crazy ) topic, but with me, now, You're used to..LOL
Best to all, and happy to be back home!

Key Points from the Discussion

The idea of a 'mystery watch-blossoming palm tree' sparked playful engagement, with one contributor humorously requesting GPS coordinates for a 'Watch Harvest' operation.
The Sonata is praised as an impressive and friendly watch, particularly well-suited for travel due to its alarm and GMT complications, making it a piece to 'live with'.
The photo essay is lauded for its creativity and the high quality of the images, effectively capturing the beauty of the watches in bright sunlight.
The author revealed that the photos were taken with a Leica D-Lux 3 for general shots and a Sony DSC7 for macro close-ups, providing valuable photography insights.

Terrific photo essay, Nicolas . . .

. . . can I ask what camera was used to take these pics? They came out so well in bright sunlight, with a beautiful rendering of differing shades of blue . . . regards, Art

Thanks, Art

Leica D-Lux 3... Terrific for this kind of pics, but for the close up macros of the dial, the best is the Sony DSC7...Which I use for all the macros close up on our fora. Best. Nicolas
