Double Balancier

Lots of great entrants in all categories this month. I particularly liked the Rexhepi - a rare bird indeed. The blued titanium on the DB range is a joy to photograph- it always helps to have a great model🤣

Design aesthetic is a matter of personal taste. I have the original titanium model which I prefer but understand that others may not. What I can’t understand is the price differential with the watch only LV costing 3x the price of the DB own model in Tita

I think the application of some of the LV design codes do dumb down the De Bethune original and that's great! The traditional lug shape, more straight forward hands and markers, less romantic but easier to digest and maybe this will introduce the De Bethu

...and that is a terrible way to describe something that should be WOW. I don't dislike it, the little day/night indicator is very DB, even though seeing it move through a 24 hour GMT display makes that somewhat redundant. The blue is very DB as well, and

Got to try a few Greubels out today. I think the older tourbillon GMT might be my new grail. Oddly enough, it’s not much more than the current gmt without a tourb. It wears just like the s2 and double balancier, which don’t feel that much smaller. Amazing

Excuse the Lord of the Rings reference!

Based on movement complication and architecture alone the DB is the winner for me. I think the DB makes sense as a sports watch movement for GF, it's a more durable option than the inclined / double tourbillons and the design of the constant force remonto

I have found the Double Balancier to be very comfortable when worn all day long, owing to its fairly light weight. It has a big dial, but it doesn’t feel big on the wrist. (That said, I haven’t worn it 24/7. But I don’t wear any watch when sleeping!)
