I was similarly constrained a few years ago, Jon . . .
. . . as it came down to a choice between a rose gold Karree perpetual or the 04.0 . . . I simply didn't have the wherewithal for both, and passed on the 04.0 . . . at least Roger has one that I can see in the metal now and again. As for laying down guidelines regarding the nominal size of a watch, my feeling is that there are other factors that contribute to the sense of size, including color (darker generally appears smaller), proportion (thicker leading to an overall smaller impression), and finish (brushed/matte appears smaller) . . . a watch like the Senator Navigator actually works on my wrist despite it's nominal 44 mm diameter because other factors mitigate the diameter of the case . . . cordially, Art
List price of Moritz LE watch
Hi guys in Basel, Any idea what is the list price for the Moritz LE watch in WG and RG? Guess there is no option for manual winding at this point. Nice watch.
I don't have the price list yet, Tim, but your phrase . . .
. . . "nice watch" strikes me as the understatement of the year ;-) . . . granted, I've only seen photos so far, but the 1878 Limited Edition might be the most perfect three-handed dress watch in my experience. I'm hoping that a steel version is in the wo...
A steel version of that beauty
would imho be a perfect daily wearer, those blued hands look so stunning on pictures, and would look very nice with a steel case. Would be perfect with manual wind and a display back. I'm aware that I just described a Dörnbluth, but they are just a tad to...
Agreed, Jon . . .
. . . although I would prefer a small seconds version of the cal 49 manual winding movement as well, I'll take this new iteration of the cal 100 if it's offered in brushed steel and not have any regrets ;-). The 1878 Moritz Grossman is listed at 40 mm, sa...
Thank you GP&MP and Dr No. I merely
base my assumption on my experience with similarly sized cases. I frequently wear a 42 mm Omega Speedy, but the sportier case of a speedy allows a larger size. For me the limit for a more classical watch is 38-40 mm, but I plan to visit Madrid during the ...
"The most perfect...
...three-handed dress watch in my experience.." That's a big call Art - there'd be a few contenders in that bracket, wouldn't you say? (However, kudos for the premise implicit in your statement, to the effect that a dress watch may even have three hands: ...
Most perspicuous of you, pplater . . .
. . . although I didn't fail to notice that you omitted the qualifier "might" from the quotation ;-) . . . still, it was admittedly out of character, as I'm normally conscious of overreaching statements and refrain from making them. Perhaps this is one of...
I trust your taste on this one......
not sure when I can see a real piece in person. Cheers Tim
