No watch, no rep

OK, this is not a watch, and this is not a rep;

It is not very sexy but only costed me about 2 burgers:

I want to share with you my rattrapante stop-watch

To me, this is more significant than a tourbillon, which is complete non-sense in a wristwatch.

Plus, time-keeping in chinese tourbillons is usually worse than is it in a plain standard caliber...

When will China start to develop cheap rattrapantes, secondes foudroyantes, r

foudroyantes

I don't care what anybody says.

That word is among the top ten funnest to pronounce.

(I would love to see more rep pocket watches, but I don't think there's too big a market for it these days. I doubt we will see them any time soon, and if China did make one of those things you mention, it would probably break after about 3 consecutive uses...)

Nice Slava! I was in Moscow last week and I went to the central shop that they have there (the original factory is being tore down and transformed into apartments, I saw it too on my way to the airport). Sadly the models they now have are mostly limited to childish touristic models (with banners and the like). Jap movements, mostly quartz. A pity.

Your pocketwatch is beautiful. Wear it well...attached!
