A pretext, no, but an opportunity, YES!

The opportunity is the Year Book II, with some amazing pics of watches like the 1833 Collection, and among them, the Perpetual Calendar skeleton in RG...

So, I used some pages as a background, to shoot this Marvel.

What better way to enhance the Artistical Beauty of this watch?

When I look at the pictures of the RG version of this watch, in the Year Book II, even if I admire this version, I tend to prefer the platinum model, much more discrete and subtle.

What you gain in contrast and maybe in legibility with the RG one is lost in subtility, and in a kind of understated elegance...





The dial side is awesome, but what to say about the case back???

Spectacular is the first word which comes to mind:



Food for thought, or maybe for Dreams?



Enjoy!

Insane! This is all you would need if you were to be at a function with lots of people trying to show off their time keepers. This would top almost all IMHO.
Wear it in great health my friend,

With a nice glass of Cognac, a good cigar, and great music...

A lonely pleasure, indeed.

Because only in real you can admire the awesome finish of the dial and case back, the play of light, relief, etc...

An unforgettable experience, my friend.

Yes, it was perfect on your wrist, my friend.

But we have to be difficult to not fall in love with...

Legibility is easy, just look at your cellphone.=)

Jon

It is not always neccesary to associate Utility and Watches, with this kind of watch.

Even if it is not that difficult to read all the infos on the dial.

Art and Horology first, then functionnality...

Best,

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,

This watch is awesome and still is my favorite in your stable!

I'd love to own this one! That's the perfect everyday office watch.

Cheers

You would spend your time admiring it, without doing no work at all...



But a very relaxing watch, after a hard day spent at work, I agree.

Thanks, my friend, for your nice words,

Best.

Thanks for your nice words, once again, my friend.

The more you see it, the more you discover details which are additional resons to love it more and more.

So you can't never get rid of it.

Heeerm, sorry for the envy, Hermano.

. . . they wanted to wear their Dato movement side up to enjoy the view? I feel the same about this skeleton perpetual . . . cordially, Art

Yes, about the Dato, you're right, even if I also appreciate its martial but elegant dial.

About the Perpetual skeleton, this is another story.

The dial is not a simple one, but neede a lot of work, too.

I agree that at the first glance, the back may have more appeal, due to its relative simplicity ( cleaner, would some say? ), but after a while, you love more and more the recto side.

You will have a lot of fun playing with the levels and light, too.

Best, my dear friend.
