Could this be the ultimate sleeper?

Timeless, classic understated elegance -...  

...that's loud enough to wake a "sleeper" up, I bet! :-)

 
 By: Paul Boutros : June 13th, 2005-02:14
I completely agree, Thomas...perhaps the ULTIMATE sleeper watch. A very discreet WOLF in a most elegant sheep's outfit. A beauty. Paul

LOL! Paul...

I would love that watch....

even if it weren't a repeater. The dial, case, and hands are the epitome of elegance. Thanks, Bill

Even before it speaks (chime)...

Oh, my goodness. . .

Second picture is just amazing,

 
 By: Doc : June 13th, 2005-10:22
it wasn?t up first time I saw your post. Must be one of the most harmonious wrist watches ever made. My little request once again,I know that it?s not like listen to it live,but if we in any way could listen to the chime it would be very interesting. Than... 

Immortal design...

so perfect! It seems to be a nice size too (if it is your wrist)? Congratulations to the maker and the owner, and to the photographer fo course.

shhhh...you still have another reason not to be sleeping much...

 
 By: ThomasM : June 14th, 2005-10:10
the most important reason of all!!! Hey, wish your wife happy anniversary for all of us, hear?!? TM

Thomas with all due respect, in my opnion the hour hand looks odd on this dial>>>

 
 By: Marcos : June 14th, 2005-06:06
perhaps are my eyes, but, the hour hand on this dial is creating an unbalance, maybe a bit too wide for the minute and hour markers?! or maybe it is the obscuring picture? Otherwise a beautiful case, dial and execution. Best regards, Marcos

Good eyes; from the pics, I can't disagree with you, but...

 
 By: ThomasM : June 14th, 2005-10:10
Hi, Marcos, You are correct (again, good eyes!) the hour hand is, unusually, wider than the minute hand. But in person, the effect is not as jarring as it looks in pictures, possibly attenuated by the great quality and beauty of the hands. Both are radius... 

oh Thomas. . .

Thomas, I only get to pop my head in.....

 
 By: Chuck P : June 14th, 2005-09:21
about once every week or two for a few minutes here and there and it seems lately each time you have "tourtured" me with new and spectacular pictures of my ultimate horological dream. Keep it up!

Well, maybe you need to visit more often! But until then...

Oh Thomas,I can?t believe my ears,

 
 By: Doc : June 15th, 2005-03:03
it?s so marvellous and clean,no I would say it sparkles fra?cheur. Magic that you can hear it this electronic way. I congratulate you sincerely. It?s ref 4261 but from which year? Thank you for listening,I have saved it on my PC. Now I know what I will dr... 

Spectacular.....

 
 By: Chuck P : June 15th, 2005-07:19

Sounds great...

 
 By: tony p : June 17th, 2005-06:06
...but I'm no expert. Thomas, you have listened to many minute repeaters - how does this one compare? Best, Tony P

Hold on to that thought...

 
 By: ThomasM : June 17th, 2005-09:09
A year and a half ago, I did a blind presentation of 5 repeaters; I now have some additional files to add to that anonymous series, all recorded in a professional sound studio and calibrated identically and watched over/mixed by profossional sound people;... 

Tonal analysis:

 
 By: tony p : June 18th, 2005-04:04
The first chime is a perfect fifth above the second chime. This is a very musical effect, as the second chime places the whole melody into a different key - a pleasant surprise, especially when they are heard together for the quarter-hour strike. Hearing ... 

Thomas, where do you find such pieces? >

 
 By: ron dee : June 15th, 2005-08:08
This watch is absolutely beautiful. It appears to be in immaculate condition with its case having so much definition! Amazing! More!More! More! Thank you Thomas!!! Best regards, Ron
