Finally we can talk about it
I find this last opus to be a significant improvement from the previous version, especially as movement is an important issue for me when considering a watch.
I'm very glad they decided to move that way as it brings GP more clearly on the ground of high-end chronos.
But I would also think the dial layout is less appealing to me compared to the automatic versions, even if I still like it that way (especially the black one). It definitely has a kind of 50's taste (style, hour markers etc) that gives more character,even if less refined to me.
The movement seems nice (and is a significant evolution) even if the general bridges aesthetical style is much nicer in a Patek or a Lange. They could have made a better effort on the bridges' shape I think.
Concerning the price, I would yet say that we are in the range of the 1815 Chrono, which is a "strong" contender.
Nevertheless, this chrono is a great improvement technically and remains very nice aesthetically speaking.
Thanks a lot for the nice presentation Nicolas.
Cheers,
Mark
