Backsides
Any among us may have admired a good backside (on any gender) now and then. Having a less-than-compelling one myself (trust me on this), I perhaps compensate by acquiring watches with interesting reverses. Mind you, I am no connoisseur of haute horlogerie...
That means a lot to me - thank you!
I know we share a love of the Duomètre collection (at least in its previous guise), and I am very sympathetic where your previous experience of theft is concerned. Keep loving on that black dial/white gold Duomètre chrono of yours!
I was really saddened when they replaced it in the more recent Langematiks.
Sure, the newer caliber has a longer power reserve, but I find it far less distinctive.
Well done!
My favorites here are the hand wound movements. And I would personally add a traditional Lemania-based chronograph movement (like VC’s 1142). Best, Emmanuel ...
Well said, and well photographed!
I hope to lay hands on a Lemania-powered chrono someday, though I haven't decided exactly which to pursue. (Plus, I keep getting distracted by travel watches and shaped cases.)
Stunning indeed!
The crocodile lining on the strap is an appropriate touch of luxury with that behind, I think!
It definitely makes a difference....
and makes it feel and look truly custom as opposed to any random grey colored crocodile leather strap. Thanks for a highly entertaining post! 🙏
Business in the front, party in the back as the saying goes…
Thank you for this post. It demonstrates one of my favorite things about watches, the thrill of turning it over to reveal ‘the party in the back’. In general, it is such an important part of the package and the story of the watch, regardless of wherher it...
Fantastic and great post .
Thanks and i fully agree with you . Some watches aren’t that nice when you turn them around but some movements are pure pieces of art imho
Maybe we need to have a thread where..
PuristS show their candidate fir the best case back view?
“I am no connoisseur of haute horlogerie movement finishing”
I am not sure I believe that. 🤣 Thank you for the very nice write up.
