Oh - hehe... yeah... so, I don't know much about that. it looks like some sort of anodizing technique. I need to learn up on the Langes. I have a knowledge gap there.

Monday night soccer??? I would never make it to work on Tuesday. I barely make it on Monday when I play Friday, although I did go run in my new Sauconys Sunday afternoon.

Sandblasted dial

Here is another platinum watch where you can see the effect of the light on the hands (this one has a different dial and stuff.)
*maybe we should take this to the watch forum...

I can just make out the crackle. It blends incredibly. But it definitely holds the light more harshly, in a good way, if you get what I mean. White gold has always had more of a black mirror warmth to it, when maintained, etc.


Nah that's what the whore thread is for. Lots of those watch guys are douche bags anyway. Lolz.

Anodizing. That's the term that slipped me. It seems to be that way.


Dude I can't get over the 7077. The movement finish on the face really kills me. But I also love the tourbillon movements.

That's so sad.

As with most things, there is actually more to it. They actually had to invert the way the watch was made. Usually, those things that you see are behind the top plate and facing the other way. In this case, they literally built the movement backwards to get this look. Breguet invented the chronograph, so... they can do whatever they want. hehe... Also, it is called chronograph because the hand didn't use to stop. It was more of a clock and a piece of paper was fitted beneath it and when you pressed the pusher, it would make a mark on the paper... chrono- (time) -graphy (writing). This was 1822. In 1820 he made a pocket watch with 2 hands to measure elapsed time... that was really the true forerunner to a chronograph.

That's cuz you are super buff. It's why you aren't afraid of 1MOREMOD

Well I'm not buff, although my legs are probably bigger than his


Shhh he didn't hear that I hope

I actually read that portion during my studying on the history of Breguet, his pioneered effort through that stage. I see exactly what you mean now. I also see the movement range very well, as I didn't even notice they had an animations section for it.


It's really seamless, that gearing.

Measurements may be exaggerated

Hehe, jtodd_fl Gauthier is quite new but the man has learned absurdly quick how to perfect in-house movements and sourcing. For an independent manufacturer, that's really something else (compared to Vacheron/AP/Patek/etc., who've been around for literal centuries). I didn't know the business was still so ripe.

Check some of these out
That search is particularly for movement demonstrations, there are pretty great cased watch videos too.

There are a lot of great independents. Check out Voutilainen, MB&F, HYT... lot's of out there stuff.
Parmigiani, Greubel Forsey... so many...

The entire Internet is waiting breathlessly (and, in some cases, pantslessly) for the details... hello...
