These matters are always difficult to put into words, pplater, but . . .

. . . I'll give it my best shot. Essentially, I lose interest in a movement when it's endowed with multiple complications . . . my tastes have always run to the simple, or the simple enhanced with a single complication. The grand comps that fascinate so many of us leave me cold, for the most part. The PRG is one of the few highly complicated watches that I like, but I don't find myself wanting to own one, if that makes any sense. The Panograph is a highly desirable design, but it's no longer in production, and I hate buying complicated watches without the benefit of a warranty. I believe the G O regulator tourbillon was on my list last time, and it's been replaced by the russet PMC . . . I still find the regulator tourbillon interesting, but now that the PMC has finally been stripped down to it's bare essence, it's become a much more desirable watch - the original versions were too ornate for my tastes, while the Navigator versions suffered from a residual sense of overkill for what should be a utilitarian watch. The new brushed rose gold limited edition complemented by a demure russet dial strikes me as a tasteful execution of high horology without leaving an aftertaste of excess . . . cordially, Art
