What are the odds that each of these models will be in the next sale if this marketing gambit doesn't pay off ? Only one of these would be in my top 10 and even that would be the original watch not the pimped up gold bezel version.

A hell of a lot closer to the real top 10 than that publication managed, would swap the C60 for the Slimline

Interesting, though, isn't it? I don't think I am alone in believing that in general the Mk2 versions are seldom an improvement on the Mk1. The C3 and C5 being the obvious cases in point, though I think the same could be said for the C8 Pilot.

Another facet to this whole thing is how appropriate it is to start claiming a list of 'best ever' when the company is still in its infancy. I remember working for a chap who was busting to get his first architectural monograph published at a time when his built works could be counted on the fingers of one hand. It was a tad pathetic. Far more attractive were the architects who simply excelled in their efforts for year after year and became widely known as a result. A publication setting out their best projects was a natural extension of the process.

Looks to be quite a good list of which I have 2 out of 10. Ditch the world timer thing and put in a version of the SH21 and its sort of close enough for me.

"The fact that only fifty copies of this model will ever be produced makes this timepiece truly one of a kind."
