Like you, I think that the owner of an Amvox II will always have some reserves when seeing that a ater chrono comes back to the traditional pushers.
We love so much the original Amvox II!
But think about the addition of a WT on an Amvox II:
What does characterize the Amvox II?
This is a Chrono with one crown, no pushers.
Would you ike to see a crown or a pusher at 10, for example, on an Amvox II case?
Definitely no, a big no, for me.
Let's dream a bit :
What about a coaxial pusher integrated in the crown of the Amvox II, to set the WT?
Couldn't we use the glass as a WT selector, at 9 and 3 to go backward or forward?
Such solutions are indeed terrific, but would need a big development work, then would expose the Amvox II to a severe increase of its price.
Let's keep in mind that the latest Amvox II price tag was 13 500 Euros.
How far can go the Amvox II price tag?
What would people think?
Now, about the price tag of the Amvox 5:
There is a difference of around 2 000 Euros between the last Amvox II and the Amvox 5.
Which includes a ceramic case, and a WT complication.
Is it too much?
Now I agree with you: The price of watches is going higher and higher.
Best, and once again, thanks for your interesting input.
Nicolas.
