I'm generally not a pocketwatch guy but, if I owned a timepiece like that I might have an entire wardrobe custom tailored around it! Also can't speak to the middle two orange leather bands, not my choice. The left orange is uber rare, like hen's teeth. The right orange is somewhat rare. The mass produced watch on the right, if you can call it that, the Simplicity came in two variations and sizes. The guilloche pattern and also an enamel dial with Roman numerals. For a time I thought about chasing after a simplicity but after a few Langes and some other pieces decided my chasing time was better spent elsewhere. Almost met the master once and he is on record as calling the Lange Datograph the greatest modern chronograph and believe he owns and wears one himself.

The two Simplicity examples. Guilloche and enamel. First picture is ok but second is not. Remember the SteveG site linked months ago (you should have bookmarked it)? He has a Dufour guilloche in white gold with arguably the best pictures in the world.

Anyone here like Vermeer? forums.timezone.com The lady that does the enamel work is the best in the biz, imo. VC has so many interesting limited and one off enamel dial watches in the past 20+ years and most of the best recent ones are her work. They had a series from the late 90s and early 00s, not even sure it was the same brand owner as now, but it was a circular, radial rotating hours, based on a smaller case and automatic movement similar to or based on an old AP thin workhorse movement. Need to find pictures because the story was the dial on these watches and the first series I was aware of was the great explorers. Columbus, Zheng He, etc. Just classic and beautiful.
