What's next? Lange ? PP ? Dato / Langematik or?

So we have GMT / World Time / Annual / Manual Wind / white gold / rose gold / Metal / Patek / Rolex and Journe. So what's next or missing?

Perpetual or Chrono? The perpetual j find hard to justify the premium to an AC and a chrono I will never use except aesthetically they look great!

Money is obviously not infinite so guess a perpetual chrono by PP is out the picture. So then should we be think of ALS? Datograph or Langematik or is there something else I haven't thought of?

That last rotor is very stately, saw something like that on the walls at Buck House.

Get the Lange Datograph. The best chrono, IMO.

Sadly not...otherwise a 5270 would be on

Datograph or new 5170, prefer the caseback of the ALS.

Or a FPJ Resonance, a truly unique watch.




Or or a FPJ tourbillon with a constant force mechanism and dead seconds

Dato seems obvious. Any reason you haven't sprung for one yet?

Dato or 1815. Or 5170. Or perhaps a VC Cornes De Vache chrono.
