my absolute favorite movement !

seeing all this beautiful equipment is so inspiring ! Makes you want to get to create something worthy of their quality !

and as the tools one uses so often reflect the quality of the work one does, this is very impressive. Keep up the good work and if you have a little extra time one of these days I could use a nice lathe.

but looking is not always seeing.

I personally think this movement looks fine in this case and by the way, it actually measures 34mm. We all have our unique perceptions.

can also be beautiful, as Patek's calibre 23-300 demonstrated. You would of course lose the swansneck regulator as this has proven to be technically inferior to the free sprung arrangement utilized here:

another annoying detail is the excessively wide widths of the screw slots, apparently to accommodate larger and coarser screwdriver blades. In all fairness, Vacheron is not alone in using these new screws as the majority of manufacturers have switched over to them, to the detriment of the fineness t

and I'm not sure the current aesthetic sensibilities would be interested in producing such a design. The font chosen for the current movement engraving is an example. Could be considered "modern" to some eyes but remains unattractive in my view.

but no Jaeger ever earned a Geneva seal. Took the wizards at Vacheron to do that.
