I've been lucky enough to handle a few Simplicities and, in comparison, the work is definitely different than Philippe Dufour's own hand. It is beautiful – a reflection of the person and character that made it distinctly theirs. The dial and movement say Philippe Dufour but the plate that normally would show the serial number instead says
link "D. Dufour". I pointed that
link out while sitting at a table with Daniela and her parents and her dad sat up slightly in
link surprise and pulled out a loupe.
