You got everything right - the light, the colours, the dept of field, the contrast ... I just wonder how you do it.

Observatoire movement photos
By: Gary G : October 8th, 2011-01:07
This one is for my friends tahoeblue, who asked me to take some fresh shots of the Observatoire movement so that they might be compared with this week's photos of the Simplicity -- and Nicolas, who is convinced that Kari has chosen him for some form of pe...
The moment I saw the name of the post.

I prefer it to the Dufour... Well, it is a kind of horological Champions League,, here, but the KV speaks louder to me, from the dial to the finish of the movement. Yes, I'm totally vladed, and your pics don't help. Best, Vlad.
Great Job, Gary

Gary, an iconic post on the Observatoire

and to think you did this for me! I would say that the Observatoire and Simplicity pretty much stand as the benchmarks of a class of watches--the finely finished "simple" watches by independent makers. And you have captured the essence of each (with some ...
Thank you for sharing these amazing pictures

From my few experiences with Kari, what really makes his watches special is HIM. It's his persona that shines through from the first moment one meets him to the finished product. That's what I consider magical about these pieces, is that this terrific guy...
Cotes de Geneve difference
By: Ancienne Le Brassus : October 9th, 2011-02:44
A note I forgot to respond to. From what I understand (from actual hands one practice!) is the following: 1) Dufour cotes: Issues involved with why they look like they do: the speed, angle, size of pegwood and grit that is used to do the cotes. MOST impor...

Gary, your Observatoire movement photos... really make my love for Kari's watches reach another level! Thanks for your interesting observation between Dufour and Kari's finishing!

Thanks and apologies

Thanks, everyone, for your very kind comments and interesting added information! I apologize that I have not posted separate responses to all, but between the extensive time I spent constructing the posts, the need to spend time with my lovely wife, and a...
