OK Then...Let;s make it a bit harder

Here are 6-manual wind watches to complement my Breguet automatic. I have expanded the list to include both rose gold and or platinum if there was a differentiating feature such as a dial or case shape etc.. A. Lange & Sohne - 1815 Up/Down Blancpain - Vil...  

The Senator Chronometer is equipped with . . .

. . . a day - night indicator . . . [aperture filled with black disc indicating PM] . . . which, in my humble opinion, complements the date function, Nico. G O has created a chronometer that's definitive for 24 hours rather than 12. Btw, there is now anot...  

A detail which I didn't know. Interesting.

I really love this G.O, Art. Best, Nicolas

Truth be told . . .

. . . the Dornblüth manufacture movement and implementation is very compelling to my eyes, and more accessible in steel than any Senator Chronometer thus far. In my own case, if money were no object, it would be a close call between the two. Money being a... 

I would vote for the GO. I wear one in white gold and it is so accurate and fun

to watch the second hand move to the exact minute mark. It is very well finished and very elegant as well. Good luck! Eddy

Thanks Art

I like Dirk's watches, but in this case: I prefer the GO. The date doesn't bother me in the least. Many folks don't like my Breguet for the same reason (date window). :-)

Still like the American most [nt]

For me, I would pick the GO...

I like the Lange and GO the most, found myself staring at their pictures the longest while reading your post. (I find this is a good way to determine which watch I like the most.) However, the 1815, like your Breguet, has arabic numerals. I think the GO, ...  

IF I HAD TO PICK IT WOULD BE THE LANGE

Its just a great watch! Good luck! Andrew

Not one but two

Hi The two that stand out for me are the Lange and the GO. But then I do like circular based power reserves. Cheers JML

great dressy watch with a subtle fresh touch. Best Andreas

Lange, fpj, then go [nt]

GO, Lange, FPJ

...in that order.

Some thoughts

I will be making a trip to NYC during the first week of April and hopefully I will be able to see most of these watches (perhaps a bit early for the ALS but we'll see). For each of these watches, I have minor concerns to probe out a bit: ALS - I need to s... 

In any case the Vacheron 1921

 
 By: Geo : March 19th, 2013-03:02
Classy, stylish, different and not in that boring round case with depressive lugs. The 1921 is may be not for everybody, but the watch, to me, has everything what makes a watch attractive. GEO
