Simon Brette's Chronomètre Artisan piece.
Don Justino came to Paris a coupe of weeks ago with this Simon Brette's Chronomètre Artisan piece.
This movement!!!
I have to say that it is an awesome watch, exquisitely finished, with a great case and a movement I like a lot.
Now the dial is a bit too... Well, how to say it? ... Mannered for me?
This movement!!!
I would rather have something simpler, for the dial, even if I cannot deny a high level of finishings, here. A great and excellent surprise.
I will definitely have an eye on Simon's future creatures / creations.
Best,
Nicolas
Just from the strap, I knew who the owner was! Great craftmanship on this watch!! Thanks for the nice shots! Best, E.
Was going to write the same thing
but saw that you beat me to it. The man has got an instantly recognizable style. Not an easy feat to achieve…
I agree with you Nico!
When I saw the dial, I was disappointed and was actually glad that the order list was full when I tried placing an order. I like simple legible dials even though I have little doubt Simon's work is beyond reproach.
Interesting dial
Is that etched brass? Without the etching, the dial would be a winner. Right now I find it a bit busy and of course, if you are concerned with legibility this is not your watch.
Fantastic movement ! Luckily to read time you always have your phone around in your pocket ! ;-)
Great strap! We know it is an incredible timepiece... and bravo to all independent watchMAKERS.
