Subtlety isn't in its character
It's so captivating
It's a black hole

Definitely not fan of their practices these days...but still love their watches. How was your wearing experience of the Zeitwerk when you had it?
I used to have a pretty strict one in, one out and that was at six watches. I quickly realized it was foolish to stick to a self-imposed rule just for the sake of it. Life's too short to not have a little fun.
My collection eventually grew to 9 and now I have my fill. There's not much I want to add and I'm content with the variety and specific watches I have. And because of that, I think very carefully if I want to buy another watch (if I buy x watch, it means I might wear y watch less). I'm now on two years without a new watch (a lifetime for us watch enthusiasts!)
A rule is a good starting point to keep ourselves in check to see if we really NEED that watch we're lusting for. Perhaps 6 just isn't enough for you as it wasn't for me.
I had always discounted the Alpine Eagle but it all changed when I put it on the wrist. Pictures really do not do that watch justice. The dial looks like it's made of pixie dust.
The Ingenieur was nice in person, perhaps a little more subtle than the Alpine Eagle. But the Alpine Eagle felt a little more special (to me) in person.
Exactly my thought when I saw these too. I think they're cool...but not $1500 cool. For a fraction, I much prefer this 😊
