Exactly, this is my concern. I have usually not kept the thicker, sportier watches that I've added to the collection before (as much as I've liked designs etc), so this is a deliberation
I agree, it is a very historic watch and the level of complication for the simplicity it has is quite attractive. Good to know that Embassy will be servicing it! I am then concerned about the size esp thickness making the watch unwieldy
Hello all! Does anyone have info they can share about the wearing and owning experience of the original MIH watch? I really like the simple look of it that hides two cool complications, and I have the opportunity to add one to the collection, but I'm concerned with two things - wearability since it
There's no one thing that stands out to me for this watch, at this price point. Dial is cool, but nothing new that Sartory Billard or the myriad of Comblemine-dialed smaller brands can get. For this price, there are much better finished movements (esp someone like Simone Brette). Only thing sort of
Which I feel can be dressed down more than the pink gold version, due to the less formal grey dial. In some ways, a little similar to the 5226G. I think both are pretty, but slightly prefer the VC because of the more coherent design Good luck! (Pic from Hodinkee)
You're expecting a rotor rotated by one barrel's energy to further produce enough energy to recharge three barrels, which is basically making energy out of thin air
What you're describing is a perpetual motion machine () at the scale of a wristwatch, which isn't possible due to physics/thermodynamic laws. The closest we have in this case is as Nico pointed out, the JLC Atmos which although seems like it's running perpetually without any intervention but isn't a
