Deco !! Ellipse ×２
I love Golden Ellipse. The model seems to be popular because it uses the same type of movement as the original Nautilus 3700. But I prefer the modern models and 5738, both have an irresistible charm. My favorite point is the shape of the hand (perfect b...
Agree, I saw one earlier this year at a US AD (I don't visit them as regularly as Italian ADs, but it's always fun when I do -- last time I "found" a 5131R still stored in a safe! ;-), and here's the R version, which is definitely a gem!
I guess a reason is its "perfect" proportions, whatever this means (in certain areas of mathematics, the "golden ratio" does have an important meaning and shows up often in your work....the same is apparently true in nature). Maybe one day I will add one ...
Yep, that is precisely the number! ;-) The most important time I used this constant $\phi$ in a mathematical paper was probably when I was studying the growth of certain "differential posets" (I wrote quite a few things in this area while at MIT)....
....and after performing some miracles, $\phi$ explains precisely the largest growth of the posets! Anyways, art and nature are full of examples as well, and fortunately for us, also horology...and it's always great when all these areas intersect! Cheers....
Seems like you are not the only one: no 3738 hardly available on C24
Looks like the Ellipse hast become more popular since recently.
thanks every time
by the way, did you mention about not 5131R but 5738R on the former thred, regarding still stored in the Itarian AD ? sorry...
You guys have really poisoned my mind
AD called…question is do I heed the call? Best Gatsby ...
Mon ami…
The truth is when I first saw photos of it I didn’t get it. I immediately rejected the possibility of ownership. But after discovering part of the literature on the Golden Ellipse online and what has been discussed here…I gotta say it’s been a 180 degree ...
