Something I feel is better about the Patek dial design is that they
have a day-of-month hand coaxial with the moonphase, whereas this
JLC design has a seconds hand coaxial with the moon phase. Day-of-month and phase of moon
move at approximately the same rate, whereas moon phase moves very slowly
while seconds move very fast. The latter juxtaposition seems to me
a visual equivalent of cacophony in sound. |
