The act of daily winding appeals to me too, just as Jerome Pineau suggests. Frankly I'd rather pay $950 for the PVD rose gold M112 than $1,300 for the Tyndall by Xetum reviewed in the previous post, especially if I can pick it up in Suisse thru Marvin's VIP program!

En phase avec vous (let me switch to French, for once :-) ). Je ne suis pas familier du winding manuel, j'avoue, mais uniquement des mouvements automatiques. Il faudrait que je m'y mette, et cette M112 paraît être une excellente opportunité. J'ai fait suivre, à titre personnel, le lien de notre article, et la M112 rencontre une adhésion certaine. Et force est de constater que le winding manuel, chez ceux qui en sont coutumiers, devient effectivement rapidement un rituel quotidien vecteur de plaisir et d'émotions. A bientôt, OM Hi Jérôme,

It builds a special bond you don't find with automatics IMHO. As in "I have to take care of my M112 now" - Maybe I'm just weird that way :) Hi Olivier,

I must admit that I always had a crush on the black / rose gold association. The manual winding could be a problem, though, if this Marvin is not the day-to-day chosen one. Fortunately, there is no date proposed here, which would have been quite a bigger issue, imho. Simple and beautiful. I must admit that I always had a crush on the black / rose gold association.
