Why it is unacceptable that Patek does not have an own manual chrono movement
Blancpain 1735, VC Tour de l'?le, IWC Il Destriero Scafussia, AP Grande Complication Jules Audemars, ...
All those masterpieces have tourbillon, perpetual calendar, minute repeator, a few other functions AND a CHRONOGRAPH and if possible a SPLIT SECOND.
Patek's masterpieces like 5002, 5074, 5013, 5016, give you all the complications you can dream of but NOT a chronograph.
Imo the most complicated watches are incomplete without a chronograph.
And this is imo a big lack in the worlds most prestigious brand
Why ? I think they only want to use a 100% inhouse movement for the most complicated watches
Problem ? They need to start from a Nouvelle L?mania if they want to add a chrono function.
Solution ? Simple, after the 5960 'automatic chrono' and the 5959 'seriously overpriced single button splitsecond chrono' they can make their own manual chrono.
And in that case we have a successor for the movement they use in the 5070, 5970, 5004
And at last they are a 100% independent manufacture.
OK, when can we expect that new movement or am I dreaming ...
