Patek Philippe: Lovely. But......

I should say I own this watch. However there is one flaw. The movement is too small for the case and dial. As a result the small seconds indication is too far displaced toward the center of the dial.

Food & Wine: Restaurants

You will be close to two of the best. Crissier is fantastic and I am completely devoted to it. But don't forget Le Pont de Brent in Montreux. It is also fantastic. You should go to both!!

Horological Meandering: I am an owner of the first gen "device"

After 9 months of wrist time, I refuse to call this a "watch". It is a mediocre watch. It is worse as an applications platform. However, it is brilliant as a notification device.

Horological Meandering: Where to put them

I have two conflicting thoughts on the subject. First, power reserve indications on the front of the watch, make little sense.
