Thierry stated clearly that it is not a limited edition or short run piece.
So i'm curious how the prices of the watches will develop. As I want one, for me it is going to be the waiting game

Finally, after a long self imposed wait while another piece also arrives, today is collection day. 👍

Had another chance to see one in the flesh (though sealed) yesterday , really is even better in person.

One thought occurred to me, maybe it’s been addressed ... are people from non-English speaking countries (like Switzerland) at all offended that all the writing (and there’s a lot of it) on the 5212 is in English ? I know on ACs and watched w three letter days it is the case that they are usually in English (plus a second language sometimes), but this is just so much more in your face.

I cut the packaging on this piece back in September - but it was part of an incoming with another piece for my wife so the collection was delayed- expected it to be early October but actually turned out to be a good deal longer.

That explains.
So, any initial impression of this watch? I find it absolutely beautiful over these pics here.

5212A deliveries
Fellow 5212 owners, this is a kind reminder to set your week hand to week number 1 (facing January) tomorrow Monday December 30th...PP let’s you open the Champagne a little earlier this year.
FYI 2020 will be a 53 weeks year.
Wishing you all the best for the year to come, may all your horological dreams come true!

Yes it is quite fascinating that the new year starts at midnight tonight with the change to Week 1.
