That A&S true beat retrograge date would be a winner in my book...
if the 12-hr and date dials were reversed in size. From a functional perspective, who needs a date dial that dwarfs the time dial? If it's purely novelty, I'd think they lose potential sales with the configuration as shown. They have mine. Argh.
One day in Basel - Part 1
It has been a long time since my last post. A new professional challenge with lots of travelling and my family with small kids are my priorities. I was very happy to be able to spend one day at the Baselworld. Here are some impression in chronologic order...

interesting observation and you are right.
It doesn't make sense. To their defence, AS&S has other nice models with truebeat seconds. The Chronograph looks very nice indeed. Best Stefan

One day in Basel - Part 3 - from MB&F to Patek to Jaquet Droz
Finally, part 3 is ready. The last visit at the “Palace” was MB&F. Famous for their watches in futuristic design, MB&F also offers a collection called the “Legacy Machines” which would be my preferred choice. This year, a new version of the legacy...
