Before the Watch Madness buzzer rang and the latest winners were announced last night, Piaget’s Altiplano Chronograph pulled ahead in the polls to defeat Jaquet Droz’ Grande Seconde Deadbeat, 52 to 48 percent. On the other side of the bracket, an early push in the day from Vacheron Constantin proved beneficial in overtaking Patek Philippe’s Ref 5990/1A-001 with the new World Time: Collection Excellence Platine, 56 to 44 percent.
Today’s matchups are showing another neck-and-neck game with Arnold & Son’s Dial Side True Beat (DSTB) and Armin Strom’s Skeleton Pure Water. Roger Dubuis leads the other side against Graham, trailing ahead with 75 percent of the votes. Will Graham’s Geo.Graham Tourbillon overcome the roadblock the Roger Dubuis Excalibur Automatic Skeleton constructed earlier this afternoon?
