About the Chronomatic Carrera
In Response To: Results now online and ()

It is interesting that the Chronomatic Autavia and the Chronomatic Monaco seem to do well in the market, but the Chronomatic Carrera has always been a laggard, compared with these other models.

And the Iconeek auction was not helped by the fact that another Chronomatic Carrera is being offered by Bonhams, on Tuesday, June 16. So we have seen fewer than five of these watches in public sales, and now we see two of them, four days apart . . . unfortunate for the sellers.

Here are the two Chronomatic Carreras -- Iconeek above and Bonhams below.

: Too bad that the online catalog did not include more detailed
