Molnar Fabry Tourbillon Art Nouveau Watch
With the increase in mass-produced luxury watches, truly limited runs (let alone unique pieces!) have never been a more attractive emotional and financial investment. Despite the global recession, the luxury watch industry seems to have not only escape unscathed, but rather has performed extremely well over the course of the last two decades. If major luxury brands were not careful, they soon found themselves in a position where their output was upped significantly to respond to the high demand ¨C while independent watchmakers doing masterful work have emerged to cater to those looking for something new and extremely limited in availability.

the bloody raised gold letters! Especially when the sun goes down. Auugghhhh!!!! I love wearing my Hamilton watches, especially my Wesley and the Langdon that Dan just sent me. But, I'm straining to read the raised gold letter dials, particularly in dim light. I guess 'father time' is catching up with me! :-0 I think it's the lack of contrast that gives me difficulty. Maybe the Hamilton models with luminescent or black numbers might be easier on my eyes. An early tonneau or barrel model? Or maybe a luminescent round dial from the 40's? Or maybe just strap an 18 size Railroad pocket-watch to my wrist? ;-)Any suggestions? Anyone facing the same challenge? If nothing else this visibility issue gives me a new excuse, ah.., reason to add to my collection! Now I really NEED a new watch! :-) What models should I try to collect that would be the easiest to read?Tx, Piscator
