Maitres du Temps Chapter Two Watch Video From TheTimeTV
Appreciating the Maitres du Temps Chapter Two watch gets even easier seeing stunning live video of the watch. Founder and owner Steven Holtzman discusses the luxury timepiece in this new video by aBlogtoReadwatches-dealer content partner TheTimeTvwatches-dealer. He takes a good approach to discussing the "volume" line (still only about 200 a year) of Maitres du Temps watches compared to the ultra exclusive Chapter One watch. The video is worth a view not only because of the discussion, but also because of the crafty video of the watch itself.

The other reason (besides intrinsic interest) that the caliber 2870 is worth remembering is because it’s one of

Sub vs sd43?
Out of curiosity why sub vs sd43? Both diving and depth rated beyond where anyone would dive to. Is one too big or too small depending upon your preference? Sd43 has new movement.
