Discovered: A Distinctive Philippe Dufour Simplicity In Stainless Metal With Jap Arabic Dial
The watch you see above and to the correct is a Simplicity, made by none aside from Mr. Philippe Dufour. But it surely was made during the last yr or so, and what’s extra, it’s made in stainless-steel. On prime of that, the dial options japanese Arabic markers, and is a golden, “classic” tone, as Claude describes it. It’s 37mm in diameter, and was truly made to rejoice Claude’s son Simon’s marriage ceremony. The engraving reads “SCSfeir” on the motion plate, the place a quantity sometimes sits.
This watch, created to rejoice a particular relationship with a particular household on the earth of gathering, is what this business is all about. And whereas a lot of you’re questioning, “Wasn’t the Simplicity alleged to be a restricted version of 200 items?” The reply from Philippe himself is that the unique run was 100 watches, which he then doubled to 200, but it surely was by no means meant to be strictly restricted. And when he has the prospect to do one thing particular for particular individuals in his life, like Claude and Simon Sfeir, he does it. He lately delivered a singular instance of the Simplicity to a Japanese retailer that helped him construct his popularity.
This very particular watch, delivered to Mr. Sfeir on the 4 Seasons in Geneva this afternoon, is a pleasant reminder that no person has seen every part, and that’s what makes this world a lot enjoyable.
