Independents

The more I think of this one, the more I am sure it is my favorite. Because of its case and dial: But also for its movement, even if I know that it is not a consensual point, as some think it is too " simple ". Best, Nicolas ...  

Simplicity can be hard to achieve

Often a watchmaker will try the simple route, but it often looks ‘forced’ to my eyes and not natural

about the movement I’ll say it looks rather industrial for that dial and elegant case

Love the simplicity of the design: It is rather difficult to simplify and to make the result looks better. Very successful in that case. Love also the small red details. Now looking at the movement: i again like the simplicity of the design [because it is... 

Look at that subtle co-branding and terrific sector dial ...  

Very nice and subtle placement of the co-branding indeed. Reminds me of the PP 5125

A real question here: has any brand released a really good sector dial recently? There was Habring with a special edition I believe PP and Jaeger have made the 'date' mistake Longines and Ferrier have made the 'small seconds' mistake

I’m not sure if this is the Habring sector dial you are referring to as there were some previous similar iterations, but I absolutely love everything about this watch. The design, the proportions, the aesthetics, the jumping seconds - it’s one that won me...  

I had only seen a version of sector dial made by Harbring in collaboration with TimeZone but never seen yours before (I attach below a picture, credit Harbring - @moderator: feel free to remove if that is not ok to post) Your version is very nice! 😀 What ...  

This is the name of the one that I posted, and it was designed by William Massena, as was the one you posted, if I recall correctly. Massena has done a few of these collaborations in limited editions, and the one that I have was the most recent one done u... 

Thanks for sharing the context and the details. It is a beautiful watch and I can understand why you fell for it: The two-tones dial, the heritage going back to PP96, the details on the dial with raised numerals, and the LE dimension, all contribute to ma... 

Simple beauty tends to be my favorite, although, there are a few exceptions

Without " Automatic ", it would be perfect! ...  

Very nice; I came very close to pulling the trigger on that one but always wondered about the syringe hands. Do you know why JLC went for the syringe ones and didn’t go for alpha hands, - or any blue ones for that matter (bleutées). Is that a historical r... 

There was a strong influence, here, with this pocket watch. And truth to be told, I would have much preferred the leaf shaped hands of this pocket watch. Now about the syringe hands, there was a precedent. JLC used them on some watches, such as the... Dee...  

First of all, thanks for sharing the detailed background info, amazing wealth of knowledge. I fully agree with you and really like the hands on the original pocket watch, would have been ideal - my first choice. Also the other you example you posted (syri... 

Choose a custom made LF, buying a LF galet with micro-rotor and add this second dial ;-) My 2 cents.

how you react regarding to add lots of options on your car, but not a "second dial" for your watch ;-) " I am working on my own A 110. If all goes well, I will end that project in June 2022, but I already gave it two stages of modifications, the third one... 

Since the first one I saw, to the majority I’ve seen since I’ve thought them to very appealing. Will you pull the trigger eventually? Or are there just too many others with equal merit on the wish list ? (I think this is where I am, LF is always there but... 

Never had any regret, nor a thought of using the LF funds for any other"comparable/ peer timepiece". ...  

...  

And I include the movement in this statement. Will it be on your wrist soon?

I saw a few of the references of this brand in June while visiting Boston. They are truly remarkable. Someday soon!!!!

thanks for sharing the pics cheers

Here is my objective outsiders opinion on the movement. It looks very good. It’s actually difficult to get that finish from that metal. But if you don’t have an LF and you were going to get one, I can see people not wanting this. Only because it’s not the... 

Still smitten with this one…. Cheers Uri ...  

However, was wondering if you might be able to provide some close up shots of the movement as well. I am slightly intrigued but I have got to say I love the contemporary touch to it!

…and I see you looking at it, the more I don’t understand… why it is not yours yet 😉. When I see it at AdM the watch is telling me it wants you as its owner…
