There are two philosophies

-One that says that Patek needed to get away from its conservatism and give something new and more refreshing, get new market. These one will be pleased.
-One that says that Patek has to be conservative because it is part of their DNA.
You like innovation and new things FX and I see you are happy with this new model, I am pretty sure many people will be like you.
I am of the second group, I think in the long run it damages its image, the image to be THE standard, a standard that does'nt follow fashion, makes only true classics. That what put Patek on the top during the Philippe Stern era imho, like Rolex in another category. Ultra conservative but defines what a classic is.
This is no more true since the Nautilus GMT, the 5960A and this travel time thing. Moreover that travel time is nothing innovative it just follow a fashion.
It will bring new customer, younger certainly, but imho Patek is no more the standard, sadly.
