Well, in fact, I really discovered this watch when I visited the manufacture few weeks ago. I fell in love for the Antiqua in 2001 and this classic was too classic from the pictures I saw on the internet, I kept focussed on the Antiqua and then on the Trio.
So, I just had this watch on my wrist in late 2008, and I must say I regret this happened that late. I would have seriously consider it if it had been beginning 2008, before I reached my frist graal.
-So, Manufacture Janvier is on of the very few maison that could claim the name of manufacture. Ok, maybe not on the Classic, but for the trio, as well as regarding all the techniques they are housing dial making / engraving ; all the finishing (geneva stripes , perlage, ...); mechanical parts ; ...
-The owner of the house is a trully passionnated watchmaker you will surely meet wearing those white watchmaker clothes rather than a suit.
- The finising of the classic is flawless, from the case to the movement, passing by the dial, hands..., really ! Even the buckle is a wonderful piece.
- The Classic has the genes
- The Classic is affordable (or let's say : not enough expensive)
So, I sincerely wish you a good time with this piece of art. I am sure you will enjoy every minute with it. I am almost jealous
Few extras, waiting for the validation of the 102 other photos
