Horological Meandering - Thanks FX, the shot of David Rutten Streamline is great ! The new Navitimer, and the Sylvain Pinaud Watch, are really great too !

Thanks FX, the shot of David Rutten Streamline is great ! The new Navitimer, and the Sylvain Pinaud Watch, are really great too !

First time I saw the Navitimer in the showcase I thought that I was a vintage, the reproduction of the vintage style is just absolutely perfect.

I was spectic when Kern take the direction of Breitling, but the quality is here...

And the Sylvain Pinaud, after the Rutten's Streamline of course, was my favorite watch of the Incubator...
The guy is really cool, and this presentation of the chronograph mechanism brings something really new and fresh to the over-crowded niche of ultra-high-end watches.

Now time is coming to look at the main course of the menu I mean the watches which were presented at the 2019 edition of Baselworld. I will write a quick report per main brand before doing reviews in more detail of the watches that I like the most or whic...

I think that Zenith is pretty ugly. [nt]

The bezel ruins it

although all can agree it is a great technical achievement, considering the specs of the movement

Nice report Fx.

I'm especially interested in more info on the last two in your list. I'm not familiar with either. M4

Hi M4, I work with David Rutten on the Streamline

I hope that FX will write a review on this piece (I can't wait to have his thoughts), so I will go straight to the point: Octahedrite case (milled from a metallic meteorite), of 53mm on 37mm Every case will be slightly different (this is a natural materia...

Two watches, for extremely different reasons. The Navitimer, which I find beautifully made, and the Rutten, for its originality. I think I recognize this last one.

I played with it, a bit, at the SIHH. Cool watch! A bit heavy, but cool and original. Best, and thanks for this original presentation. Nicolas

Definitely a few on the list that would be on my list too...

Kari, Gronefelds and the Bvlgari being towards the top of the list! It is also great to see the inventor too on the list (btw the frequency on the Inventor is actually the same as my Defy Lab). Cheers Andrew

You found some good-uns [nt]

Great summary!

By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : April 8th, 2019-15:26

my pick goes to the Zenith defy inventor personally!

From the 15, if you could only have one?

Best Reubin

The Navitimer because I can afford it...

By: foversta : April 9th, 2019-04:58

And Kari’s watch as a dream! Fx

I like the boring watches .... the Patek, while quite busy, has a certain something... I don't know why I would ever own it., if I wanted an annual calendar, not sure I'd go for this.. but I kinda like it... but I like it in an abstract way that is not 'a...
