So they were 3, now 4

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there was first the Chrono Malte, then the Malte Tourbillon Tonneau, then the Chrono Perpetual Calendar, and now this one, The Patrimony Retrograde Date and day...

To be honest, this one is the one I love the less among all these " Excellence Collection ".

1st of all, when you compare it to the 3 others, it's not the stronger piece, you wil also say that it's not the more epxensive, but price is not a problem when you speak of Excellence, IMO.

Then, I don' like its look, with these Retrograde hands, and day date writings on the dial, whioch lacks of Purity, IMO.

And the movement is not one of the best, among all VC watches...

If you speak of Excellence, and if you have in mind the VC Spirit, you don't get ( well, I don't get ), what this watch is doing here, in this " superlative " collection.

And please, no more " pt 950 writing on the dial...This kind of writing is good for cheese, not for watches that don't need any kind of sticker...

Sorry for the Rant, but when you love, you may have the right to be exigeant...

Best.

Nicolas
