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...
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.
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.
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...
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.

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!
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
