Scrutinizing Jumbo
Inspired by Ben's excellent review of the venerable RO jumbo, I too pulled out my recently purchased macro lens to take a few shot of my all-time favorite watch. All shots were taken handheld with available ambient light. Hope you enjoy these 'low-key' portraits. HAGWE DialDo you notice how the dial changes its shade of blue depending on the angle of viewing? Do you also notice the weaving lines criss-crossing on the tapisserie dial? They allow the dial to reflect light in a unique way. Only a dial which is carved out by the 'rose machine' would yield such beautiful result.MovementThe beauty of the ultra-thin 2121 movement is a marvel. Every component of the movement was exquisitely finished in different styles at the highest level. The unique construction of the rail rotor system is a sight to behold.
