The Roger Dubuis Sympathie Chronographe QP
Between the five or six central hands and the bewildering array of chapters printed on the dial (everything but one to twelve!), could it be any more difficult actually to tell the time ?

Not my cup of tea - looks quite cheap with all that text on the dial (kind of like a novelty watch of some kind looking like a roulette wheel).

By the way Padi - it's 10 minutes after 10 by that watch......

You all know I love complication watches, but I agree with Al. It looks like a piece of novelty store junk. The display is not well designed at all. The fact that you have to study the dial for a couple of seconds at a minimum to see the time is not an example of good design. So my vote is

after studying the watch a few, I've found it hard to see the hour and minute hands with them being white on a white dial.

Despite it's name that watch displays no sympathy for the wearer whatsoever.

Yes would 100% agree with you,but there are lots of guys who wear a
brand, and not a watch,thank god I am not one of them.

I think the name of the watch means that you give the sympathie to the owner for having such a monstrosity on his wrist.
