Administrators TimeTexas Posted April 2, 2023 Administrators Share Posted April 2, 2023 It seems every year I get busy right around Watches & Wonders. This year was no exception and I was actually sitting in hearings all week and unable to follow the action. After spending yesterday with family and re-introducing myself, I've finally started back through some of the releases. Unfortunately IG has been flooded with the incredibly terrible OP with balloons and puzzle pieces, along with nearly invisible changes to other models. Anyways, a few thoughts. Czapek has apparently been busy, at least busy designing. I'm still waiting for my Antarctique that I ordered 15 months ago. I'm happy to see that they are re-opening orders but it seems the ramping up of production is still ongoing. But their releases this year are flat out gorgeous. The standouts are the Revelation, the Titanium Dark Sector, and the S Sashiko. The Antarctique Revelation The Antarctique Titanium Dark Sector The Antarctique S Sashiko I really like the new Patek Calatrava I'm not usually a big fan of green and gold. I know I'm an outlier here, but especially yellow gold and a bright-ish green really looks awful in my opinion. That said, the Laurent Ferrier Classic Micro-Rotor in Evergreen and Rose Gold is absolutely delicious. After last years Ripples, I'm still not sure about having the subseconds at the 1:30 position. And that doesn't mean I don't like it there. I think I'm still processing it. I will say I do like the Academic more than the Black Tie I'll follow up later as I have more time but feel free to add your comments on any of the above or any of the Novelties from W&W.
