A Dufour Duo

 
 By: quattro : January 9th, 2026-14:20
Two Philippe Dufour timepieces:
  • Grande & Petite sonnerie number 7, white gold 41 mm case
  • Duality number 6, rose gold 37 mm case
Do you have a preference ?

Best, Emmanuel

Openworked watches are "hit or miss" with me. This one hits the mark.

Unknown to me until now, I have to say it is outstanding. 

The gold watch with white dial is classic but doesn't speak to me like the openworked piece.

Thanks for posting.

I find the openwork dial well done too,

and the complication is among the most prestigious ones, but I still prefer the Duality, personally.
Have a great weekend.
Best, Emmanuel

I’d wear the Simplicity and often. I’d never wear the other one. To think that I could have ordered a Simplicity for $35,000 back in the day. 🥺

Same feeling for me,

the Duality is very much my kind of watch.
Best, Emmanuel

Just WOW

The Duality has always intrigued me most. On the front it’s nothing much but the back is of course. I always loved this tension and contrast.

I feel the same way, Christian.

The Duality is a watch I'd love to own.
Have a great weekend.
Best, Emmanuel

Gorgeous pieces both, but my preference would be for the Simplicity.

Same for me, the Duality is the one that attracts me.

I didn't know the open dial one!

I find it very well done, but I still prefer the Duality.

More my kind of watch.
Have a great weekend.
Best, Emmanuel

Agreed on the Open dial.

Duality...simple elegance...almost nobody you meet will have any idea : )

 
 By: mdg : January 9th, 2026-16:27

And I love that.

 
 By: quattro : January 9th, 2026-17:51
I'd be more than happy to own one...
Have a great weekend.
Best, Emmanuel

Wow - most definitely

 
 By: donizetti : January 9th, 2026-16:56
The openworked one! Never seen that before, thanks!
Andreas

I'm personally never fond of openwork dials,

 
 By: quattro : January 9th, 2026-17:52
but I find this one very well done and fully understand its appeal.
Have great weekend, Andreas.
Best, Emmanuel

Any chance I would see...

That's what photos are made for! 😊

Duality for me 

For me too!

The Grand S . Would be my favorite but more because of its size as i have a bigger wrist.

 
 By: Watchonthewrist : January 10th, 2026-07:24
But both true masterpieces imho

Yes, I understand that 37 mm

 
 By: quattro : January 10th, 2026-08:21
is a little small for larger wrists.
Have a great weekend.
Best, Emmanuel

The sonnerie is definitely the ultimate watch. But Duality is enough for me.

 
 By: riverside / Henry : January 10th, 2026-08:29

I feel exactly the same way!

Best, Emmanuel

Both are epic

 
 By: Ichiran : January 10th, 2026-10:20
and I will struggle to choose one. I find the Simplicity sexy too. This is a great thread by the way.

Thank you so much!

 
 By: quattro : January 10th, 2026-11:01
The Duality is definitely my pick here but the Sonnerie is quite something too.
Have a great weekend.
Best, Emmanuel
