That seiko movement is a delight
One of the few movement I find very pleasing to wind with just the right amount of mechanical feel.
Yes, they have done a great job
making it enjoyable from a tactile, auditory, and visual perspective. That said, in terms of haptic feedback, the Cornes de Vache is still a notch above, for me. Best, Emmanuel
Yes, best manual winding movement
among my collection and best haptic I’ve personally experienced along with Laurent Ferrier (either tourbillon or time only). Visually, there’s nothing to see, but the haptic feedback is wonderful.
Thank you
I played with the steel version years ago but have no recollection of the winding feel. I do remember it was lovely in person, if a bit small for my liking.
Two very different yet likewise appealing pieces 👌🏻👍🏻
You really have a superbly curated collection 👌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻
Thank you so much. It's a real pleasure to have them both.
And I enjoyed looking at them lying side by side on my desk today. Best, Emmanuel
Both are so beautiful in their own rights
elegance and function in both are equally present
Thank you so much. Both simple watches which tell time
in a very pleasant way and with a very nice design. Best, Emmanuel
Batman and Robin were called the Dynamic Duo
So you have it here! I know that Patek is hand finished while the 9SA4 is only partially hand done. Nevertheless, totally holds its own. Wonderful pieces!
Thank you so much! My watches are flattered by your comparison
with the Dynamic Duo! ;-) The GS is a more “modest” watch, no doubt about it, but, in its category, it is particularly well done and the design of its case remains remarkable in my opinion. Best, Emmanuel ...
Thank you! It has been a great pleasure
to have both side by side on my desk today! Best, Emmanuel
