I find it very hard to not call this a perfect watch

Dec 27, 2023,11:23 AM
 

Everything is perfect. The fonts, the selection of numerals and batons, the chrono dials perfectly centered at 3 and 9. The dial and bezel width ratio is perfect. The silver dial. Of course, the lugs. It looks great with every strap colour. 


It is an absolute masterpiece, and, probably fortunately, a watch that you don't see plastered all over social media. The only time I get to see it is on this forum, which shows it is the choice of a real watch connossieur. 

Cheers, Imran

Admiring the subtle playing of light on this silver dial. It’s a beautiful sunny day in France. Wishing you all a wonderful 2024 in peace. ...  

Merci 🙏

I did love the steel Hodinkee version from a long time ago, and tried to get one on secondary but was too expensive an ask. But it’s a cool grey dial. Haven’t seen one for sale again in years.

This is a real beauty.

A classic dress chronograph with a pretty movement. I’m curious - what motivated you to go with the platinum model over the stainless steel one?

It’s more badass 😁

On a more reasonable note, it’s dial is more restrained, and the there’s the heft of the material which I like. I also do like the fact that noone (except a few members of this forum) would know this is a platinum watch.

I get it!

I have the stainless version and it’s extremely light on the wrist. Interestingly this is a downside for me - not that I would look to trade up and I love the Serapian strap. I also have a platinum 1st generation Datograph as well as a WG 5172 Patek both ... 

I share your views.

You‘ve got your bases covered with the 3 chronos. Top choices, all of them!

Happy you like it!

It is.

I have a number of straps for the watch but I always leave the grey on. It’s very versatile and a great fit to the CdV. Here’s a more neutral pic. ...  

Top chic! Enjoy!

Looks perfect on that grey strap.

Many thanks Imran for your comment and kind words!

I concur with you. What makes this watch so good, apart from the lugs, are its perfect proportions. Plus the fact that it is very much an understated kind of elegance. It blends in nicely in almost any setting, both casual and elegant. Have a very happy 2... 

So beautiful !

I personally chose the rose gold version because I love the warmth of this metal, but the platinum version has the same dial with a lovely blue tachymeter scale and it’s gorgeous too!

The RG version is a very beautiful watch.

You should also discuss the strap!

I thought I‘d let the picture do the talking.

But imho grey is a very nice and versatile companion of the Cornes de Vache.

Just being naughty
