Jaeger-LeCoultre

Do I really need a pretext to post pics of the Perpetual Skeleton?

 

A pretext, no, but an opportunity, YES!

The opportunity is the Year Book II, with some amazing pics of watches like the 1833 Collection, and among them, the Perpetual Calendar skeleton in RG...

So, I used some pages as a background, to shoot this Marvel.

What better way to enhance the Artistical Beauty of this watch?

When I look at the pictures of the RG version of this watch, in the Year Book II, even if I admire this version, I tend to prefer the platinum model, much more discrete and subtle.

What you gain in contrast and maybe in legibility with the RG one is lost in subtility, and in a kind of understated elegance...





The dial side is awesome, but what to say about the case back???

Spectacular is the first word which comes to mind:



Food for thought, or maybe for Dreams?



Enjoy!

Best,

Nicolas

Insane! This is all you would need if you were to be at a function with lots of people trying to show off their time keepers. This would top almost all IMHO. Wear it in great health my friend, B well, Matrix.

Aaaaarrrgh!
