Dino: it was indeed those models we were comparing, and I remember talking about how much cheaper the Les Historiques chrono was (and is!) for a handsome platinum "Big Three" chronograph. As I said, I actually like the platinum Perpetual Chrono above a great deal - pushers and all. The size, shape, dial, even the pushers, add up to something with real personality. I have neither the knowledge nor the wisdom to explain why the look of the movement didn't quite sing to me as much as I thought it should have: for $150k, it's no longer cheap next to a Patek or Lange. But perhaps the dim light and recent Lange-excess skewed my perspective! Either way, it's a peach. The tourby..yeah, probably too big. But I just loved how the movement was built for the case shape. Integrated design philosophy...I like.
