Horological Meandering

A few days ago, I've been able to try on the Bovet Dimier Récital 15 with a titanium case and lacquered salmon dial . Oddly enough, this model isn't listed on Bovet's official websites. Having made some research, it turns out that this complication is qui...  

I must say that the ones with more classical displays are both better legible and - inho - more pleasing to the eye. I love the Bovet watches, but also the Blancpain. May I add another one that is a rare watch, made by one of AHCI's founding fathers, Rain...  

Didn't know this very good-looking piece with a rare jumping hour hand (instead of disc). Best, Emmanuel

For me, it's definitely Blancpain here. Best, Emmanuel

The minutes aren't retrograde, but who cares? Thanks for your enthusiasm. Best, Emmanuel

I can't say that any of these jump hour watches make "my list" though I have been tempted by the simple Reservoir watches on more than one occasion. The salmon dial Bovet catches my eye as well. I like the placement of the hour aperture at the outer perim... 

Bovet: another member of the Fleurier 'quartet': Parmigiani, Chopard, Voutilainen & Bovet! The other one which appeals to my personal taste here is the Blancpain. Thanks for your enthusiasm. Best, Emmanuel

I am a big admirer of the Blancpain which is definitely on my wishlist. Here my Hautlence Linear 2: Have a great Sunday Thomas ...  

of your Linear 2: it fits your wrist very well! And thanks for the kind words! Best, Emmanuel

Love the Bovet, Blancpain and the Van Cleef two time zone. I’d be very happy wearing one of these. They’re all interesting. Wittnauer made one called the Futurama. A nice Sunday to you as well. ...  

It makes me think of this wonderful pocket watch seen in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Best, Emmanuel ...  

Thank you quattro, so many cool pieces.

Best, Emmanuel

Thank you, Bill.

The Bovet salmon is nice but I don't like the screws on the dial, the hour is not big enough and the price is crazy. Rather wait a bit more for a Zeitwerk. Similarly, the hautelence time (hour) is very small not as easy to read..but a nice watch!

I would choose a Zeitwerk over a Bovet too. And the Hautlence are too modern looking for my taste, but interesting nonetheless. Thanks for your comment. Best, Emmanuel

Here is one that i feel is somewhat under rated and often missed by Collectors ...  

But I was focusing on jumping hours with retrograde minutes: a very special combination. Best, Emmanuel

Excellent post 👌🏻 love my GG a lot

Thanks for the kind words and enjoy your GG! Best, Emmanuel
