Mr. Babin correctly identifies the technological considerations and industrial constituents that are required for creating a horological masterpiece. I was simply reacting to the iconography and graphic presentation of the watch as it relates to my taste as a member of the OTD community, not someone with the budget or rarified industry knowledge that permits the indulgence of investing in such expensive timepieces.

It is clear that all brands, whether watches, cars, or coffee, need an aspirational icon, and with respect to the analysis provided by Mr. Babin, the Mikrograph and what it represents to Heuer are much clearer to me. I still think that there is room for a bit of criticism with regard to the overall aesthetic impression of the watch; I think there is something slightly unnerving about the presentation of the subdials and pushers.
