You replace the double direct impulse escapement with a Swiss lever because it is more robust…fine I get it. The half bridge no longer has interior angles or black polish…okay fine. The lower plate and jeweled staff have been redesigned to have less curvature, making the anglage easier to execute….okay fine. Remove the cote de Geneve….okay.

I’m fine with all of these changes…but they all result in a much easier and cheaper movement to finish. A movement that no longer has a double direct impulse escapement. And….it’s more money? A bracelet and platinum micro rotor do not outweigh those cost cutting moves the movement took.
