Horological Meandering

To be honest

 

There was a time when the 5164a was trading under retail and less hyped up. During those days it was a favorite of mine. These days no. Simply because you can’t travel freely with a 5164a without getting scrutinized at best and robbed/harmed at the very worst. So no, it no longer is my personal favorite only because the market has hyped it up way more than what I think it should be. The LF on the other hand, I wore it to London in Feb this year. It was discreetly covered under my sleeve and only pops out on occasion when I check the time. It is elegant and extremely well design and very easy to adjust/use. It is to me one of the best travel time watch. Worldtimers however nice (to some) aesthetically never work for me. I don’t see a need to track more than 2 time zones intensely. If you are then I personally feel that’s not a good way to live. Too much information on a world timer dial than I should ever need. You could however argue why the info on a perp/annual calendar is justified.
