Yes, a good old chronometer
Dear Santa,
Yes please, give us a real good "old school" chronometer. It should obviously be hand-wound (like JLC used to do it or all the big names as Peseux 260, Zenith 135, etc...) and in the 60ies style. Would also be nice if it could have a huge srew balance and, as a consequence, be a slow runner: "accurate but slow". Ok, accuracy is much more difficult to achieve this way rather than with high-beat movements but slow-beat movements look so much nicer (it is why I never felt 100% in love with my UN Peseux 260 with 36'000 beats per hour, the balance is just to small and fast, not majestic at all).
Otherwise Santa, I take the Duomètre à rattrapante
Best,
Goldenlutin
SIHH 2014. Your secret desires, dreams?
You know that... At this moment of the year, when the SIHH is just behind the door, it is always the same. The frenesy is not there, but it is time for dreams, wishes, and hopes. What would you LOOOOVE to see coming, in 2014? I start, if you don't mind. 1...
Quite the ultimate list!
Your list pretty much nailed it! You would be a great santa claus :) I think it's really time for a great comeback of the Chronomètre Geophysic (hand-would of course). I hope it will be like it was historically, i.e. an affordable (also available in steel...
Aaah, the Geophysic...
We discussed the re edition for so many years, that the Geophysic is a bit like the Loch Ness Monster: Always speaking about, never or rarely seen. An alternative to the current Chronometre Royal which is automatic? ;) Best, Goldenlutin. Claus, Santa Clau...
Nice dream wish list. I would like 2 from this list....
A Duometre Chronographe a Rattrapante and a Tribute to Geophysic manual wound preferably:) Happy New Year Nicolas. Cheers Francois from The Top of the Mountain;)
The Duometre à Chronographe Rattrapante would be my next grail!
Rattrapante AND Foudroyante! YES! All the best, my friend. PS: They have mountains, in Australia?
Yes, a good old chronometer
Dear Santa, Yes please, give us a real good "old school" chronometer. It should obviously be hand-wound (like JLC used to do it or all the big names as Peseux 260, Zenith 135, etc...) and in the 60ies style. Would also be nice if it could have a huge srew...
I hear you, I hear you... As for the Duometre à Rattrapante, well, if JLC ever release it.
We'll ask some fees... No, better, a free one! :) :) :) Best, Nicolas
compressor memovox
I would like to see new models in the compressor line like a new version of compressor memovox. I would like also a more affortable extreme lab 3. Best Yiannis
Difficult to predict
I think for myself models will be by surprise, before you put an image هin your Post Grande Reverso Ultra Thin 1931 were fantastic. I'm waiting to See A Black Dialed Memovox WITHOUT Date. Thank you very much Happy New Year my friend (Nicholas)
That black Memovox, without date, would be another Community Watch, it seems!
Thank you for all, my friend. Best, Nicolas
I would add a central sec reverso tribute to that list
I think JLC could not make enough geophysic s to meet the demand! Your list is impeccable. But, I still got to find a Polaris 65 tribute. Your first post today is killing me :) Happy new year ! Joe
A TT Reverso with a Central Second does make sense.
That would close the Tribute To Reverso theme with brio. As for the TT Polaris, I ca understand that. Mine were stolen, I couldn't stand that, and replaced both of them, with the help and the generosity of some good friends. Best, Nicolas
Dreams, they say.. Are remnants of thoughts.. But sometimes predictive.. :)
.. Yes, you are right : The frenzying has already begun and there is hardly time to keep up.. - wait a moment .. There IS a wishlist anyway for the New Stuff, from which dreams are woven sometimes.. I am pretty much on +3 of your list, that's for sure : 1...
That is the menu of a greedy, very greedy man, Almost a gourmet. ;)
The stainless steel Tourbillon? Here it is: The Reverso Chronograph? Here you are: For the Geophysic and the black Memovox, please be a bit patient, Merin, who is Dr Mamadu's cousin, is working on it. :) Best, Nicolas ...
Thank you soo much ! .. Also for the nice pics ..
.. of this "greedy-but-what-shall- I do" list .. - to my naivité , I had been thinking, that there is no SS Round Tourbillon currently, - and the Reverso Chrono (RG) is discontinued, but I have seen it with Joe and others .. A Connoiseur piece, somehow - ...
You have another very tempting option...
The Reverso Gran Sport Chronograph, in stainless steel. A bargain! Best, my dear friend. Nicolas
Well, for SiHH2014:
I would say another AMVOX, more like the first models (I don't like the last ones really, even the 7 from last year): so Same Player => Shoot Again. And of course, as already desired last year, a Duometre using astronomical displays (as you mention in ...
Agreed on the Amvoxes...
Since the " 3 ", I am not really in love... And, personally, the " 2 " remains my favourite. This one will be hard to beat! I wish JLC could do a crazier version: An Amvox II with the pivoting case at 12 and 6 for the Chrono, and at 3 and 9 for a GMT, or ...
Yes, I didn't mention it
but with the chrono/case function of course on the AMVOX 2 basis. I'm counting on you to use your pressure leverage on the staff ;)
A Duometre à Chronograph Rattrapante in black
A Duometre à Chronograph Rattrapante in black dial would be an awesome piece. And a dangerous one my wallet! It'll be an anxious wait for the next weeks Kind regards, -- Seeks
Curious...A Duometre " Astronomical "..
"Astronomical" as in price? :) or a complication like the Grande Complication ? Maybe a duometre for ladies à la Rendevous...
1,2 and 4!!!!!!!
Well I don t know if you noticed a special edition of the Sphero for ladies…..it has aventurine dial… So,Duometre a Quantieme perpetuelle,Equation of time,aventurine dial ….Platinum case…… too much? Mo
Yes, I noticed... But without jewels, it would be better...
Just to save my reputation... ;) Best, Nicolas
I honestly have no dream for this year. My long time dream was...
...the Grande Reverso Calendar which JLC has kindly produced already. For this year, any round watch with moonphase will do. If they can put in that hand-winding, 8 days movement with sunray finishing like in the Master Eight Days Perpetual 40 then great....
What about a Deep Sea chronograph cermet bi-compax ?
But not sure about the "Deep Sea" i add on the dial. Credit: HODINKEE (then modified with PS) What do you think ? Best regards Fabio ...
Funny... I will show you something, someday, when I am allowed to do it.
Why not? Best, Nicolas
i wish you could be allowed to do it tomorrow :)
Now i need to take a deep breath and be patient... Best regards Fabio
Not exactly secret dreams but...
A Reverso ultra-thin with a "big date". In the MC models, a return to slightly smaller and more elegant cases, and more use of the dauphine hands. I think JLC finally got the hands right on the new MC Date. Let's have more! I love both a big date and an 8...
To be honest….
….I find it too big and thick - the case is similar to my Rolex Explorer 2 which is a sports watch. I know that the current taste is for big watches but I think it has lost the elegance of the 37mm version. I just find the "big date" and an 8-day movement...
