Compare and contrast

 

I posted a dial detail photo of the Malte Openface Retrograding Perpetual Calendar last week that will help to highlight a detail worth noting in the Quai de l'Ile. First, in the Malte, we see that the days and months are painted on a sapphire cyrstal:

In the Quai de l'Ile we see black ink to mark the date on the sapphire chrystal that is the dial of the watch, but this time it fills a laser-engraved space. This gives both a sense of depth to the dial as well as a crispness in the printing that, quite frankly, looks better:

The affect if noticeable not only in these marco shots but also in experiencing these watches with the eyes from normal distances.
