Clever solution but...

November 09, 2011 06:47AM
ciao Geo,
sorry for my late feedback .... This watch is really amazing, mainly because provides a clever alternative to a tourbillon.
I always love ideas behind a watch like this, because there's nothing more difficult to find solutions that are quite obvious....And if you're looking for something positionally stable in a watch, it is obvious it is the rotor.

So I admire the idea and the project, as well as the visual appearance of the rotor-escapment on the dial side.

By other hand as far as i have understood this is not a solution to intermediate positions (meaning position different from vertical 12, 3, 6, 9).
Even if the chrono result are of absolute precision, i would like to understand why in an angled position (about 45 degrees if i look at my wrist right now) the performance should be as good as a vertical one. Maybe i just miss something (very likely smiling bouncing smiley)
Additionally i really believe that the size of this classy watch should be reduced a little (50mm is the size of a ... Pocket watch)

Just my two cents,
ciao from Mmilano,
