MoT's WDF

New release from Chris Ward. It would be interesting to see this frosty sapphire in person.
Power reserve is impressive, so is WR.
For preorder; coupon can be used.
And the logo is symmetric!
Still, I would prefer it in <=40 mm.

NTH unveiled a couple of new linen-dial Antilles models over on WUS - the blue looks rather fun!

No word on date or pricing yet, I think, but previous Antilles models went for USD 725.



Edit: adding some short clips:

New from Louis Erard is this mad regulator that I really kinda want in my life:




I know [mention]TheJohnP[/mention] also has a soft spot for the brand, but this regulator... and apparently it actually tells the time as well as looking brilliant!

The objective, for Louis Erard, is once again to break down barriers in the world and make accessible what is often reserved for specialist clientele. With this added challenge of plunging without a net into contemporary creation, with all that entails of references, reflections, diversions and shocks.

atelier oï proceeded in a basic way: “To radiate from the centre outwards.” Taking care to reduce the technical vocabulary as much as possible, reminiscent of the shape of a sundial. The result is a surface engraved with asymmetrical rays, the light of which reveals reflections and contrasts – echoing the passion of the members of atelier oï for the material and the play of light. The art of engraving being expressed here in its essence: drawn lines. These lines create a space, to which the hands add the dimension of time.

Le Régulateur has naturally imposed its own rhythm: the hands (hour, minute, second) become centres from which rays emerge, generating visual kinetics that each movement of the wrist animates, giving the two-dimensional dial the depth of a radiant architecture. A pure work of art, which nothing can break, not even the Louis Erard logo.

Reading the time comes out somewhat dematerialised – you have to mentally reconstruct the puzzle of hour angles – but all the links are not broken: the minute-circle still appears around the edge of the dial, with a more pronounced line every five minutes and exactly sixty segments. A nod from atelier oï to the smartphone generation: “Today, the object watch has another meaning

Man that is oozing cool

^That's one of the coolest designs I have seen in a long time. I'd be so tempted to get it. Thanks for sharing [mention]WPybus[/mention]!

I was hoping one of you guys would be able to afford it and I can just look at your pictures, that reads weirder than it sounded in my brain! (On an unconnected matter, Check the post in 4-6 days [mention]pdsf[/mention] !!)

I haven't spent over $900 on a watch. And won't for the foreseeable future.
I won't be owning that Louis Erard, as much as I would want to.

It's too big anyway. (Trying to be negative here to make you feel positive).

That does sound a wee bit weird but we know you [mention]WPybus[/mention] so we know what you're saying and I can share my pictures so you can look at them all your want.

Finally, this is the one that can justify wearing 2 watches simultaneously!

It's beautiful. But how do you read the time on it?

Just saw this article about customizable Laco release on Wornandwound. Seems like a great possibility!
