THE WATCHMAKER
JAEGER- LECOULTRE REVERSO
“This Jaeger-LeCoultre was one of my first nice watches. I was just amazed to be able to have a Rever- so in my stable. They are not the only ones that do this mechanism on a case, but they are the ones that glorified and perfected it.
I buy watches to teach me about a whole new way of thinking, and this piece taught me about casework.” (jaeger-lecoultre.com)
BREGUET CLASSIQUE TOURBILLON EXTRA-PLAT SQUELETTE 5395
“Here we have a different level of craftsmanship— skeleton movements are by far not an easy feat.
I love that they took the time to really accentuate the movement, and the tourbillon is, of course,
a classic. But to me, the most impressive thing is the peripheral rotor on the back. It’s not an easy thing to make, and it’s made expressly for the effort to glorify the movement on the caseback.” (breguet.com)
BREGUET CLASSIQUE 7337
“This watch has been my love for a long time. It’s simplicity and complexity married together in the most perfect form, and the guilloche work is excep- tional. It’s just beautiful—
a slice of heaven.” (breguet.com)
BULGARI PAPILLON BY DANIEL ROTH “This is from Bulgari after they acquired Daniel Roth, and I bought it specifically because of him. I bought
it because I was studying primarily depth and compo- sition, as well as legibility, and because it has jumping hours with two time zones. Most people see the first one but don’t realize there is a second one right there in the middle. It taught me about spacing.” (bulgari.com)
