Great to hear from you, and great suggestions! ...

That hand-sound split-scond would indeed be a marvellous chronograph. And if they could add a split minute hand in the segment counter style of the PanoGraph, this would even be better!!

The plain watch with Meissen dial: would be similar to the Anniversary model of Breguet, but with porcelain instead of enamel. The problem I see is that porcelain might not be a good choice for an elegant everyday watch, as the plain design of the dial would suggest it to be. German silver for the movement parts? Hhmm ... I think that would rather be a step backwards, why should they do it? German silver is not better than brass, even cheaper to manufacture, since it is not rhodium-plated. The only advantage it has is the more noble sound of its name: "German silver" ... hhmmm ... sounds exclusive, rare and expensive, because of "silver". In reality, there is no trace of silver in it. It is an alloy of copper, nickle and zinc. IMHO, the german silver hype has no base at all, and is only a marekting issue.

Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Marcus , I wish they would revise the pilots watch and just leave out the 4 , rather than just have the date window lop off part of the numeral . I'd love a revised manual wind utilising the calibre 65 but with either a circular reserve indicator , ala...
