Openworked watches are "hit or miss" with me. This one hits the mark.

Unknown to me until now, I have to say it is outstanding. The gold watch with white dial is classic but doesn't speak to me like the openworked piece. Thanks for posting. M4

I find the openwork dial well done too,

and the complication is among the most prestigious ones, but I still prefer the Duality, personally. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel

I’d wear the Simplicity and often. I’d never wear the other one. To think that I could have ordered a Simplicity for $35,000 back in the day. 🥺

Same feeling for me,

By: quattro : January 9th, 2026-17:47

the Duality is very much my kind of watch. Best, Emmanuel

Just WOW

By: ChristianDK : January 9th, 2026-14:48

The Duality has always intrigued me most. On the front it’s nothing much but the back is of course. I always loved this tension and contrast.

I feel the same way, Christian.

The Duality is a watch I'd love to own. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel

Gorgeous pieces both, but my preference would be for the Simplicity.

Same for me, the Duality is the one that attracts me.

Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel

I didn't know the open dial one!

By: amanico : January 9th, 2026-15:41

I find it very well done, but I still prefer the Duality.

By: quattro : January 9th, 2026-17:50

More my kind of watch. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel

Agreed on the Open dial.

By: amanico : January 9th, 2026-17:54

Duality...simple elegance...almost nobody you meet will have any idea : )

By: mdg : January 9th, 2026-16:27

And I love that.

By: quattro : January 9th, 2026-17:51

I'd be more than happy to own one... Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel

Wow - most definitely

By: donizetti : January 9th, 2026-16:56

The openworked one! Never seen that before, thanks! Andreas

I'm personally never fond of openwork dials,

By: quattro : January 9th, 2026-17:52

but I find this one very well done and fully understand its appeal. Have great weekend, Andreas. Best, Emmanuel

Any chance I would see...

By: Ronald Held : January 9th, 2026-17:21

2 Dufours together?

That's what photos are made for! 😊

Duality for me

For me too!

By: quattro : January 10th, 2026-08:19

Best, Emmanuel

The Grand S . Would be my favorite but more because of its size as i have a bigger wrist.

By: Watchonthewrist : January 10th, 2026-07:24

But both true masterpieces imho

Yes, I understand that 37 mm

By: quattro : January 10th, 2026-08:21

is a little small for larger wrists. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel

The sonnerie is definitely the ultimate watch. But Duality is enough for me.

By: riverside / Henry : January 10th, 2026-08:29

I feel exactly the same way!

By: quattro : January 10th, 2026-08:39

Best, Emmanuel

Both are epic

By: Ichiran : January 10th, 2026-10:20

and I will struggle to choose one. I find the Simplicity sexy too. This is a great thread by the way.

Thank you so much!

By: quattro : January 10th, 2026-11:01

The Duality is definitely my pick here but the Sonnerie is quite something too. Have a great weekend. Best, Emmanuel
