Open Heart op een Presage. Nooit zo goed begrepen, juist die Presage modellen zijn naar mijn mening juist goed in het understated zijn. Nu zijn de “vlakke” platen wel iets minder spannend dan de Cocktail Time modellen, maar zelfs dan gebeurt er nog wel wat, en is het cleane juist de kracht. En dan maken ze een gat in de wijzerplaat met daaronder een drukte van belang door de beweging van het uurwerk. Ikkeniesnappenie.
