A sector dial I can recommend
By Sam Okafor, London ยท
Sector dials have been fashionable for a few years and most of them are pastiche: the concentric rings and crosshairs of a 1930s scientific dial, applied to a dress watch with nothing scientific about it. The Millesime is a pastiche too, but a well-drawn one, and that counts for a lot.
The silver dial is divided into zones that are subtly differentiated in finish, so the structure shows without needing contrasting colours. The small seconds at six is balanced against the main hands, and the minute track at the outer ring is properly fine. The result looks considered. I'd frame a printout of it.
39.5 mm, 10.3 mm thick, 20 mm lugs, 41-hour reserve, open back. At 1,995 to 2,195 dollars it's a much more interesting watch than Raymond Weil's other dress pieces and competes reasonably with the Furlan Marri sector dials. My one grumble: the logo and text at twelve are slightly too heavy for the delicacy of the rest.
