I think my personal favorite would feature oval minutes track, Arabic numerals and "bulletin d'observatoire", but your watch looks stunning nonetheless!
Given my love for vintage Patek Philippe rectangular watches with ' exploding numerals ', I thought it would be interesting to browse one of the modern interpretations of this design offered by Roger Dubuis with the ' Much More ' model. I hope you won't h...
I came close to adding one of these watches on several occasions and really regret not adding one. My favourites are the Mono pusher chronographs with Calendar models a close second the only ones I am not too keen on are the biretrograde models as I feel ...
time only (hours/minutes) with oval minutes track and "Bulletin d'observatoire", but not with blue numerals like the one featured above! I also like the Monopushers, though, and agree with you concerning the bi-retrograde. Best, Emmanuel ...
And with some I cannot quite gel 🤷🏻♂️ Many of the two handed ones and the mono pusher ones I tend to quite like, the small seconds and PC ones are not universally attractive to me 🤷🏻♂️ But find the GMT ones quite interesting 👍🏻 ...

I personally prefer Arabic here, but I'm with you nonetheless. And I just need the "bulletin d'observatoire" mention: a detail? Well, no, since chronometry is what a great part of watchmaking is about. Cheers, Emmanuel ...
This was tremendous work! Very much appreciated! 🙏🏼 I love the old RD models and it’s such a pity that Diaz had to sell it! 😔 Personally - due to my very small wrists I am more in the „too much“ and „golden square“ league, so rather wide then long… 🤓 One ...
TV Screen? Why not, yes! But I have to confess that my true dream would be to own a vintage Patek Philippe "exploding numerals" reference (featuring the Chronometro Gondolo mention, preferably: cf. below)... Cheers, Emmanuel Now, this is pure dream for me...
I bought a ladies version with diamonds for my wife and it's one of her favorite pieces. I could see myself buying a man's version at some point... John
were introduced by Patek Philippe around 1910 and I have found a site where a piece from 1910 is presented and said to be the earliest known made by PP. Of course, one can’t be completely sure, but it seems likely… https://www.bogoff.com/pocket/8255.html ...
I just find that it makes the dial a little busy and, most of all, it cancels four numerals: 2, 4, 8 & 10. For a full 'exploding numerals' experience, I personally prefer the time only display, with Bulletin d'observatoire. Best, Emmanuel ...
...in an immediately identifiable style, and then they suddenly lost their minds. The only nitpick on these is the lack of a shaped movement. But design-wise, they are special...
