Sometimes it's good to be wrong!  

Good deal, but is it really...
Good deal, but is it really ever good to be wrong? I don't know, just wondering. Along similar lines, who was it who said,
"I can think of nothing worse than being right."
That, I can kind of understand.

I dunno, but along similar lines...
I forget the source of this quote too but, it was a scientist, I think. It's very true...
"No is a far more instructive response than Yes."
I'll take a No any day. And being wrong does seem to drive home a lesson far more thoroughly than being right!
I still think the thing is way over priced, however, so I'm not entirely admitting to being wrong!;-)

I kinda agree with Olive
I know his clocks are really awesome BUT I'm not quite there yet. I can appreciate them but I won't buy one. In a couple years, I'm sure I'll have to retract that statement but as of today, I'm sticking to it.
Congrats on your clock and the fact that it matches your foyer. It's fun to watch randomness fall into place so perfectly.

This is a good clock
You get what you pay for with this Patek Philippe clock. I have only ever owned the watches, I have never had a Patek clock.

Yeah, but it has all the design style of a military bunker!
Sorry but I don't think it's at all attractive. The cost of that brand and the look of the thing is definite turn off for me. At least the Nelson clock is lovely to look at and the timing accuracy is fine for my needs. Heck, if the movement burns out over time it will be simple to replace it. The patek likely involves a team of Swiss engineers to do a 6-month feasibility study to even approach a repair. Not that this is likely to happen, though, I'll give you that. The thing would likely last through a nuclear attack.

something more stylish
Okay, how about something more stylish like this Marcel Wanders Atmos 561 for Jaeger-LeCoultre. Good design, good materials, good craftsmenship.

Isn't this by Marc Newson not Marcel Wanders?
And meh, too Baccarat looking for me. I like a more handmade or industrial look.

Yes
definitely Marc Newson.
Let's hope Ark thinks it's also good to be wrong sometimes? 😉

my mistake
Olive,
You are correct that it is Marc Newson. My mistake. None the less this is a great clock.
I think this Ark that continues to be mentioned was a "mean spirited" guy. I on the other hand am not and I am willing to admit to an occassional error.
