I've wanted a Datograph since I've been into watches. I used to think it was completely beyond reach, but then again I started off thinking I'd never be crazy enough to spend even $500 on an automatic watch. Over the years, you realize you've sunk way too much money into the "hobby", and if you consolidated, you can really reach for something else.
So here it is, and even with years and years of anticipation, it does not disappoint. Absolutely classic, the design completely appeals to me, the weight of platinum is great, the size works on the wrist, and of course, that movement....
Anyway, not too much to write up. It's been plenty praised over the years. Hey - it's Philippe Dufour's favorite watch. Is there anything else to say after that kind of resounding endorsement?
In a traditionally Swiss dominated industry, I'm really finding myself drawn to the clean and tight precision with which the Germans are producing some high quality, relatively underrated watches. So included a few shots with the Nomos Weltzeit, which is a new pickup as well. More on that one later.
