Having three children and being on short sleep entirely more than I'd care to admit, you'd be surprised how often I use that particular signpost.

I actually don't mind the extra text there. At a glance, it almost looks like the minute track on the 9 o'clock subdial so visually it feels balanced.

Generally speaking, I do think this is probably among the more readable implementations of the annual calendar I've come across (i.e. it mostly just looks like a panda chrono until you want it to) so it's been a joy to own.

This will win me no friends, but I just can't get over the dial pattern of that CW. It reminds me too much of Chilewich placemats.

I'd honestly prefer the simple sunburst of the Scametti to it.

Thanks! Happy you enjoyed!

I was hoping you'd show up! Do you know anything about old Heuers?

I feel like the last spot has a direct historical analog somewhere in the files but I literally can't find it.

Two great spots and I understand the awkwardness with the first. I was once sued by an old neighbor for water damage to his roof and he tried to talk watches during mediation.

Bad timing to say the least.
