antoine martin’s quantième perpétuel…

Published on April 5th, 2011

Here’s another Hottie that was introduced to us at Baselworld. Appreciate this good looking wrister from Antoine Martin, the Quantième Perpétuel. This is a really fun looking timepiece, complete with its perpetual calendar complication.

The rose gold/brown colorway works really well and makes for a watch that is equal parts executive power piece and fashion statement. Love the AM/PM indication, dial textures and the large date aperture at 6 o’clock. One design flaw that I note is that the day/month apertures appear to get lost behind the hands of this watch. It might have been smart to either relocate them, or drop them altogether as the watch is still extremely functional and beautiful without them. Anyhow, appreciate it nonetheless…
