Yes, I love it.
Sadly, some models have the hour window at 12 o'clock with the minutes hand overlapping the window exactly when the hour jumps... Two ways to solve this problem: either the minutes hand is shortened (like in Patek's 5275P, either the hour window isn't pla...
There is a third solution…
Having a pomme hour hand, like Omega, so that the hour window shows even when the minute hand is over it 😊👍🏻 Here a picture from MZHammer and the associated post: www.watchprosite.com ...
I also love Patek's 3969,
except for the fact that the minutes hand is overlapping the hour window exactly when the hour is jumping.
I also love it
but regret that the minutes hand is partly overlapping the hour window exactly when the hour jumps. On the 5275P the minutes hand has been shortened, presumably to solve this problem (but I might be wrong).
Thank you, I also like these watches very much.
Even the openwork AP appeals to me more than openwork watches usually do (I’m not fond of them in general).
I find it even more attractive than
many other AP openworked pieces: it's because I like the solid white minutes-seconds-hour structure. And the movement is finished to such a high degree!
Yes, I usually don't respond to openworked watches,
but this Jules Audemars looks fantastic.
Wonderful set of watches
The skeletonized Jules Audemars is my cup of tea, what spectacular craftsmanship.
Indeed!
I don't usually warm up to openworked watches, but this one is so good-looking!
Minute Repeater and Jumping Hours? Definitely the John Schaeffer
Not really a fair competition with the models presented! Peter
The John Shaeffer is certainly quite fascinating,
but AP's 26356 1 25723 are also a minute repeaters with jumping hour. And I would say that other models, like both VC or Patek's 5275 have a lot to offer (retrograde minutes for the Saltarello or Chiming hour for the 5275, for example).
Such a great and wonderful complication .
Thanks for this post . All incredibly beautiful Her another example ...
I had never seen this one!
What a gorgeous guilloché dial. And these playful hour numerals! And the double retrograde complication on top!
