Buongiorno, volevo stamane proporvi un confronto tra 2 segna tempo classici contemporanei, solo tempo con secondi al 6:
mi attraggono moltissimo e ritengo esser, nel loro genere, ai vertici dell'alta orologeria per gusto estetico, movimenti e straordinarie finiture.
Entrambi le casse hanno una bellissima forma molto ben realizzata e diametri importanti ma, nel caso dell'Atum di Grossmann la forma è a torre svasata, 41mm alla base/39mm al vertice, il Galet Square di Ferrier invece misura 41x41mm ma, avendo la cassa a cuscino, l'effetto al polso è ridimensionato.
Il prezzo di listino è per entrambi molto alto, circa 35k chf, il Grossmann è in oro rosa e manuale e tra i tanti pregi ha un movimento forse rifinito anche meglio del Ferrier da tutti definito un gran maestro delle finiture e aggiungo, delle sfere meravigliose, simili al concorrente ma ancor meglio disegnate e rifinite.
Il Ferrier è un automatico, ha il colore rosa del dial terribilmente sensuale, la cassa però è in acciaio inoltre l'orologiaio ha un nome (brand) assai più celebre e considerato.
