Finally, a nice Hand Wind Center Sweep Gem!

By: Mech : March 14th, 2012-03:52

I asked many and learned the hard truth how and why Patek doesn't make a simple and elegant Hand Wind piece with a center sweep no more and I thought my only alternative is the Richard Lange, a watch I very much would like get if the case is a tad smaller...

Who could resist such gem

It exudes that warm vintage feel. The ticking is pretty audible and I love that! To wind it and see the second hand moves, wonderful. Mech.
