Tavernier and his screenwriters deviated from the novel in a few different ways (setting the film in Lyon, his hometown, instead of New York) and could’ve easily made Noiret a cobbler or a village doctor. link In the film, watches and clocks don’t link move the plot forward. They are not smoking guns. So what is it about a clockmaker that Tavernier saw as integral link to his character?

The other scenario that exists link in a less-than-perfect world is as such: Somewhere along the line someone found link out that the 3417 dial fits inside the 2509 and simply installed it for the same reason; ideologically, an "Amagnetic" dial works on an amagnetic watch. But Patek didn't make that link decision.

It's not a true ISO-certified dive watch (no dive bezel, link after all), but the little link whale above the sapphire caseback right next to the rating tells you this watch has 200 meters of water link resistance. That's pretty cool. But what's inside the case is Nomos' big pride on this release.
