I love this Chronograph a lot. I would have hard time deciding which one I would take, between the platinum, for its understated but very elegant look, and the stronger white gold black dial combination. I love a lot the way they included the date in the " dial landscape "... It doesn'...

platinum... Although I usually prefer black dials, the platinum version with white dial looks marvelous!...

Ecrire Le Temps Exhibition report from Tokyo (modem burner)

Ecrire Le Temps Exhibition report Lucky for me, as the world tour of the Exhibition starts from Tokyo and now it is being held at one of the most famous, traditional, and trusted department stores of Japan - Mitsukoshi, that coincides with the annual World Watch Fair. Nowadays in Japan, the big department stores are truly the major distribution channels of high-end watches along side the specialized retailers. When or if you come to Japan and looking for watch shopping and don't know where to go (but you should contact me first in such case - I will most certainly help any PuristS member here, happily!), just go to a big department store in major parts of Tokyo. You will find the cluster of most of the boutiques on one floor of the building.
