Nice pictures overview...

It's interesting to have this overall selection and , hence, see in a glimpse where it was "moving" and where it remained quite conservative, to say the less...

I can't believe VC and AP will make do with only these this year. Maybe nicer surprises around Bale?

As you are I'm really happy about this 1815 R-QP. It's funny how I noticed very opposite feeling about the dial layout: some really don't like it.... I love it.

But, above all, from your selection, I really appreciate this VC&A "a la demande" watch. Beyond the aesthetics, this philosophical and technical formula is really interesting and could really be used much more. A nice path to explore indeed.

Thanks Fx

Cheers,

My selection at the SIHH

By: foversta : January 27th, 2013-03:26

I came back from Geneva yesterday. Time is coming to do a small wrap-up and to give my first feelings. On an overall basis, it was an uneven SIHH. Some brands like Cartier, Lange, JLC met my expectations by offering solid 2013 collections. Some were less ...

Spot on

Great write-up! Thank you. I agree with your choice of the 1815 Rattrapante as the show-stopper, and I'm glad you (almost) concluded with a most understatedly brilliant release from VC.

Agree in toto..

SIHH very exciting for some,not for others but all in all a satisfying year for sure. VCaA poetic watches are really...poetic without being have an incredible team for sure. We will have a lot of material for debates in the next few months. Great selecti...

it gives a global view and that's interesting, the Lange 1815 SplitPerpetual is also a clear winner imho. As Mark said, I am surprised for the appreciation of that dial, I also love it. The Cartier mysterieuse are great. beautiful integration of Cartier h...

Thanks, the Roger Dubois 42mm

Looks great, with the 42mm diameter now compared to the previous larger size, looks the perfect size now on the wrist. Can't wait to see it in the flesh. Back of the AL&S is so beautiful, one of the collection will be on my wish list for the future. C...

Lange and JLC for me...

By: nitediver : January 30th, 2013-21:12

Thanks for the report, Xavier! Based on your pictures, my favrorite pieces are the Lange 1815 Rattrapante and the JLC Master Calendar. I certainly agree that the Lange's 1815 Rattrapante looks georgious. On the more affordable section, i am very happy to ...
