Fantastic movement ! Luckily to read time you always have your phone around in your pocket ! ;-)
Simon Brette's Chronomètre Artisan piece.
Don Justino came to Paris a coupe of weeks ago with this Simon Brette's Chronomètre Artisan piece. I have to say that it is an awesome watch, exquisitely finished, with a great case and a movement I like a lot. Now the dial is a bit too... Well, how to s...
Was going to write the same thing
but saw that you beat me to it. The man has got an instantly recognizable style. Not an easy feat to achieve…
I agree with you Nico!
When I saw the dial, I was disappointed and was actually glad that the order list was full when I tried placing an order. I like simple legible dials even though I have little doubt Simon's work is beyond reproach.
Interesting dial
Is that etched brass? Without the etching, the dial would be a winner. Right now I find it a bit busy and of course, if you are concerned with legibility this is not your watch.
I don't think I say this much
But I love this entire package. The finishing, the colors, the fonts. If I had small criticism it would be more legible hands (may be more visible in person). As for the dial drama, I love the color and pattern. That same finish in maybe a tantalum dial w...
This watch loses its appeal to me the longer I look at it
At first, I was smitten, and came very close to ordering one of the first watches when I had the opportunity to do so. The longer I looked at it, the less appealing it became.
I like EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS!
I even like the dial! That dial is just art! And I adore the scalloped steel gears on the back. Wonderful! So interesting and what a beautiful watch!
I actually even think the price is darn reasonable...
At 50,000 CHF, I even think the price is reasonable. This is exactly the kind of watch I like. Beautiful bridges, huge balance wheel, slow 18000 beat, beautiful finish, a classic look while still looking modern, the beautiful dial looks kind of technical ...
I love how you write Sir :-), completely agree but when we meet one day I'll explain myself better on why I feel things have gone a bit topsy turvy as far as expectations and prices
are concerned, an example that comes to mind is Pascal Coyon's Debut piece and 5 times increase in 2.0, which reminds me of this classic and at the end of the day everything is relative S
You are soooo right!
YOu're right! Everything is relative! But let's look at it this way, today a time only, manual wind, no date Patek Calatrava in gold is nearly 30,000 CHF. If you look from that standard, then these really pricy independents do offer a lot of value at 50,0...
Indeed! What can I say! You must have VERY GOOD TASTE! In watches and movies!
And we must be geniuses! Since geniuses think alike! Another movie that I really like is The Best Offer. If you haven't seen it, give it a try - you might like it!
Hahaha, I have been learning from the best....
don't know about being a Genius but like to learn from better smarter people from myself I did see it, wonderful film and what a switcheroo in the end I love this movie a lot S
I haven't seen that one!
Will have to add it to my list! Thank you kindly for the suggestion!
Ahh! French movies always know how to pull at the heart strings!
Except Luc Besson movies, his movies always know how to create a compelling world!
The second dial iteration. SB made a great debut entrance. Curious
to see his future work.
