Hi All,
I wanted to post my new acquisition accompanying the picture with an article worth the watch in the Vintage section, I’m probably going to write more next year but, abettor a sudden flu (which doesn’t deter myself to work) forcing me to bed, I simply couldn’t resist any longer to share with my forum family.
The watch is renown so, without any further hesitation, I would like to introduce my Ingenieur ref. 1832 to you:
Personal first impressions
I nicknamed the watch: “The Monster”, in its Latin meaning of prodigy, of something appearing as totally new and impressive, if I think it was conceived more than 35 years ago, I can simply try to imagine the shock it must have given to the first who had to greet it.
The Tresor owns this ambiguity to disguise the viewer so if he focuses just on the bezel and the dial, receives the impression of an elegant and sober watch but if he then just diverts his blush to the carrure and the bracelet, has the instant perception of a beefed and indestructible object , ready to take any challenge, whatever the exercise.
I can hardly believe my watch is already 35, not just for, lucky me, its great conditions and perfect coevality of its parts, but mainly because it’s incredibly actual.
This is my way to honor the lately disappeared but never forgotten and enough regretted Master, Gerald Genta, whose hands and imaginative mind gifted us some of the most beautiful watches of our times.
Thank you for reading.
