Top ti 1965

[makita]

willy Skrev:top ten in ranking order is impossible.but top five is not so difficult.vc and patek were fighting each other for top spot,and i would say at this time vc.were just in front.after in no special order you had,ap-iwc-gp-jlc.all of these houses were at this time making fantastic complications,and many were built on jlc. calibers.the handwork and handfinish of this time will probably never be repeated again.other brands in the top ten were tag heuer omega-zenith-rolex-ulysse nardin.if we are talking about prestige mechanical horology and a production capacity not in the mini class.then the top six are in my opinion as i have written.willy

hmm, IWC og JLC lå nok et niveau eller to under PP,VC og AP dengang som nu. JLC primært på finishsiden. GP synes jeg falder helt udenfor selskabet. I det almindelige segment (vi ser bort fra komplikationsure, ellers bliver der pludselig mange man kunne tage med), time only ure ville jeg nok snarere fremhæve et mærke som Piaget dengang, som med deres automatiske mikrorotorværk kal.12p (1957-) for alvor pressede musketererne i knæ i kampen om det tyndeste automatikur dengang. Man skal huske på at vi stadigvæk befinder os i de tynde ures velmagtsdage. Dertil var værket jo inhouse, hvilket kalibrene PP/28-255, VC/1120 og AP/2120 ikke var (først senere inhouse for AP), og ligeledes manuelt optrukne piaget cal.9p var inhouse, hvorimod PP cal.175/177 basis F.Piguet 21, VC cal.1003 basis AP/JLC cal.2003 heller ikke var inhouseværker. og hypen om inhouse var jo så småt noget som begyndte at fylde i horologiske kredse dengang.
