Wrist Scan - Hip to be Square - Starts now!!
Dear friends Please join me and help me to round this square weekend together Any case any shape sans round Let's make another memorable weekend together For starters my latest friend The Piccadilly Zenith that should also be known as Zenith Kennedy One ...
Super fast response...thanks ....but
you left me with no choice Have a nice weekend D
This FM is really cool
"Crocodile Dundee" would have not deny it ;-) Best wishes Alkiro ...
More Squares of Alligator
The life of a PuristS moderator is smelly.... What's in the Box? Smelly Alligator Skins Bleached Beached Pickled Swag for bags More colours And More colours ...
I used mostly different photos this time
The last three photos are reprints. But they all look familiar because the other PuristS also posted their experiences. Regards, MTF
Watch? Theme? Both? Neither? :) ;)
Do you have some piece with some squares to show us? Cheers D
Let's see...
Not the easiest of themes for me, so the responses will need to be taken with a grain of salt First of all a relatively conventional wrist-shot - the watch belonging to a dear Purist friend... The static is perhaps a tad more tongue in cheek - but it is m...
I think I remember....
colors differently on first photo at least different colors of strap and dial As for second wrist shot...we have tradition of placing table clocks as wrist watches here on PPro This Zenith came day before P15 Was on table in Zagreb but then that table wa...
So you're saying I am in with a chance, then? ;)
As you said, so many watches on the table in Zagreb, and difficult to tell which was from whom...
Yellow brick (small)
I remember this little yellow brick - it was all over the Seiko forum a while back. A bunch of us got them, there were even some completists who had to have the white version too! Thanks for the reminder JML
I unfortunately never managed to get the white :(
But I believe quite a lot of us Purists own one of them in the meantime
Thanks, Blomman :)
Was just a Demonstration that it could be counted a watch - at a stretch
Ok.. What to chip in, to play.. For me some modern Classics.. :))
A good summer & travel companion.. here in SoCal.. Reverso Gde GMT Date & Jour & nuit On a more classic note, also with elegant appeal TTR 1931 & Cartier Must series.. A chip- in by my dear wife.. Best & HAGWE to all ! hs. ...
Must is pure elegance but
that picture of Reverso with red loafers is one of my favorites from you Cheers D
Very elegant choices! :)
Your collection either seems much larger than we know, or growing constantly, HS
The old & the new for me
I must say I am having some serious watch envy here! All great photos and beautiful watches, thanks again, Cam ...
Thanks D
Ones Hobbes for the body and ones for the soul! Or is it the other way round?😎
Lol, I think I need a drink hahah
Your zenith is a beauty, great watch and a great wristscan!
Very interesting Constellation.
I hadn't seen it before; which goes to show just how much there is to learn here. Are you sharing the Port with it?
It is amazing
To see how many different models exist in the vintage market, its one of things I love about this forum, so much to learn and see and want! I think it's definately nice to share a nice drink with a nice timepiece! Cheers Cam
Thanks Blomman,
I Think between you and Cc I should find my way to a GP! I look forward to learning many more things here at the Forum! Cheers Cam
I have to say those raspberries on the first picture...
Are almost as tempting as the Reverso (also not round) but only almost
Wahoo, already Friday?
time to drop everything ans start the weekend Ok, this is going to be murder, just a few selection... Elliptical: Oval: Rounded Rectangular: Tank: Tonneau: Rectangular: Cushion or Cambre Carree Squared Circle: Square (proper square with squares on the dia...
GP mafia members don't wait...
they shoot I think he waited cca 1 month for all this watches He is very patient guy
Love your GP collection
Had no idea that the brand had such a variety of case designs. GEO
Wow Cc
What a collection, the more I see of Gp the more I love, thanks for the inspiration! Cheers cam
It's not Friday yet but we will pretend it is :)
Now that is what I call stick to the theme and show how GP can play every game Bravo my GP mafia friend Cheers D
OK, CC...
You know noone else can compete in every single category, like you just did? Great choices, all!
Absolutely great selection my friend...
And your pics are really sharp, that will be a hard to beat "square" shoot ! HAGWE, Mike
My friend, you show even better than me, the full palle of GP shapes!
Wonderful array! Best Blomman
Thanks, my friend and I didn't even
consider watches that are somewhat round, like C-Shape or fancy bezels
Great collection of GP's there!
Especially the square HF and even the quartz one would tempt me away from analogue. Clearly my lonely GP needs some close friends All the best Giles
That's an easy one, since I hardly have any round watches
The Cartier Tank is really square. In general I may find rectangle watches more appealing, but it depends a bit on my mood. GEO ...
Wow Geo
Splendid as always That second combo is killing me Please don't take it offensive but I was expecting this week much much more inputs from you since as you said...you hardly have any round watches
double Wow. The red one with green strap, you have guts and that works very well
the Cartier is nice noo. From the Tortue collection?
Thank you! - The Cartier Tank is from the CPCP collection
and has the same caliber as the Tank Mono Poussoir models.
Yes it is indeed the 045MC caliber by THA
Exactly the same as the ones used in deBethune Chronographe and Cartier's Tortue MP
Two great entries!
The Reverso Rouge is on my wish-list; and the Tank is so special. Nice!
Fantastic Geo! I love those green straps on the red dial Reverso! ... Guess I should try that cocktail!!...
... and the Tank by Cartier chrono? That´s to die for! Hagwe! Abel
Here we go: Rectangle, Weird and Cushion ...
Team, Mr. D. - Great theme, as usual. One question: Who is Mr. Pink? Back to the theme, first, let's see some JLC Reversos: Allow me to isolate the Reverso Rio (Brazilian Boutique only) Homage to the 85 years of the "Christ the Redeemer". Now the weird ca...
You played hard ball this weekend my dear friend
Excellent input just excellent As for Mr. Pink that's Darko Cheers D
... you are not supposed to compete with the watches belonging to your AD
nice selection. soft spot for the Reverso.
Lol hhehehehhe
I was thinking the same thing Tyo, no one will be able to go watch shopping because there all gone to Nilos house!
There's nothing on my house ...
We have a saying here: "A dog bitten by a snake is afraid of sausages". After my "incident" in 2010, I keep in my house two or three ... Casio watches. Cheers, Nilo
It make perfect sense,
I don't blame you Nilo, and a very true saying! Once bitten twice shy. Cheers cam.
My AD ...
That is in fact the Manufacture Boutique. The only thing that they give to me are invoices! Cheers, Nilo
Wooooowwwww
Nothing short of amazing Nilo and that's not even counting the round ones! Epic collection, thanks for sharing! Cheers Cam
In this case is better to run ...
It seems that the Bullhead inventory (worldwide) is empty. Took me some time to chase the silver dialed one. Cheers, Nilo
I take my previous comment back...
Maybe there is one person who can compete in every category with CC and it's you, Nilo The Piaget may be personally my favourite but then there are so many great choices amongst the watches you posted!
Looks like a home-run, Nilo !.. Your amassing Reversos are quite remarkable & stunning !.. Also like the Bullheads, and..
.. the Ploprof is in a category of its own, anyway ! Cheers & Best, hs
OMG ! What an entry !
I knew the theme was perfect for you but your selection here and your pics are just WOW my friend, spectacular !
Awesome collection of Reversos dear Nilo!! Superb! this doesn´t mean ...
... I don´t like the other watches you show!! Any would make me a very happy man!! Hagwe my friend!! Abel
The only "square" timepiece I still own in my collection is a Reverso which isn't a JLC but... an old Hamilton (almost 80 years old)
Few explanations about this timepiece for the ones who could be interested in it. Best wishes Alkiro ...
I remember your post about .....
This one. Got me intrigued as its a very nice watch. And it looks great for its age.
Thank you
The dial has been repainted which can help for its nice look. Best wishes Alkiro
Thank you CC
Yes, it's funny to understand how Hamilton and JLC found some common ground at that time (30s) about the Reverso. Best wishes Alkiro
This Hamilton Reverso ....
Is much more rare than the JLC Reverso from that time! Best Blomman
i am not seeing that happen....
....as Mrs. Baron may not be quite so happy with me taking it.
You still succeed to surprise me Joe !
Mrs Baron has an exquisite taste ! Just wonderful !
50 Shapes of non-round...!
You know this would come! Square, Rectangular, Oval, Tank, Carre, Tonneau, Asymmetric... I guess you will find them all in here! Even a Diamond shaped one... But no round. HAGWE Blomman ...
WARNING!!!! All WS prticipants!!! Please do not open post above!!
Hehehe that's how Mr. Blue rolls What to say Amazed once more Cheers D
Waaoooaahh !.. You've flooded & inundated us here !.. 2 Super pic Collages/ no collections, one can dream of
This is really stunningly awesome !! - So much variety, so much superb differences & distinctions ! Your pics no matter what else will be called, deserve a special prize ! What a pleasure to lend us a glimpse and peeking into some of your watchboxes ! Bes...
What, only 50?
Blomman is slacking off. I am actually trying to figure out how to communicate which one is my favorite, but I keep going back and seeing another one every time.
In fact, it is 51 pieces....
In one of the photos, there are two of the same! Best Blomman
BAM ! You just killed us all !
You know the pic I prefer: the Reverso one with Baby blomman ! Simply charming ! HAGWE my friend
Yes, baby Blomman - his favourite colour is blue....
Can you tell from the pic?! HAGWE, my friend Blomman
Wow, wow, wow!! I was expecting something from you dear friend Blomman but ...
... these multi shots left me stunned!! Fantastic array of non round timepieces my dear friend!! What a production!! Hagwe dear Blomman!! Abel.
Not round; not in Kansas anymore
But what country am I in? (Luckily having packed a non-round watch) Cazalea ...
First time I see this Seiko. Interesting

A vintage square Omega
This just left for a new home a few months ago. Quirky but fun! ...
Everything but square.....or round
some photos already posted individually here - think there's a case theme developing..... ...
Obvious choice & a couple of alternatives
Hi All I'll start with the obvious choice for this week Now a couple of alernatives - all very retro! HAGWE Cheers JML ...
Very vintage...
Omega Medicus 650. Omega's first wristwatch with a sweep second hand. ca. 1936. A wonderful Longines, ca. 1950. And something American ca. 1929. ...
Dear Oliver just superb
Wonderful vintage additions to this week's WS Much appreciated Sincerely D
Only wonderful ones but...
definitely the Septantième with the JLC cufflinks and the Caran d'Ache make a winning set for me
If you noticed...
The picture is mostly in black and white except for the blue elements on the Drive.
not square, not round, not rectangle
only thing round are mini burgers, HAGWE everyone best, Horo ...
Wow!! Horo my friend I got you out of shadows!!!! ;) :)
Thanks for joining...we miss you..now don't let us wait so long You know what I need shot of that watch on an ankle Best D
At the beginning I thought I don't have much to show with this theme and the more I thought of it...
...the more I realized that I have more "square" watches than I thought . Of course I first thought of my LF Galet Square: with such a name it ticks the boxes for sure ! Then the PP 5024 with its salmon dial and applied numerals immediately came to my min...
I was waiting for your LF my friend...
...but I didn't expect all these other wonderful timepieces. Incredible! Best wishes Alkiro
Oh, the PP 5024 with salomon dial!
Fantasting group, my friend! And I see Mrs H has an impeccable taste! Best, my friend Blomman
I'll add another one for you my friend since it seems this Gondolo is appreciated...
And since I love pens too, let's make a duo with my MB Hemingway... Hope you like it... ...
Now that is very imaginative shot
Bravo! Very handsome yellow face Slo-mo second hand is nice touch Cheers D
Funky Worldtime!
Quite intriguing! Can you tell me more about it please? Thanks. Giles
Giles, it is an Ikepod Manatee...
Ikepod started as a collaboration between Swiss investor Oliver Ike and Mark Newson, the famous Australian industrial designer. This worldtimer watch is thought to be the inspiration for the Apple watch, a collaboration between Jony Ive and Mark Newson.
Ah that one is superb, Brauner!
Please post it in the GP forum. Is it steel or white gold and what Ref? 2595 or 2594 or 2593 (ironically in chronological order)?
Does cushion work???
Grandpa's watch I inherited several years ago... And then there is this...early '70's UN High Beat Chronometer. HAGWE All, Cheers, Tim ...
Cushion works and not only for sleeping ;)
but that UN is true jewel I'm in love and your inputs are never short of amazing Sincerely D

Don't tell me it wasn't planned ? It's gonna be hard to believe... Super glad for you my friend, that one is gorgeous ! Mega congrats !!! Mike
Thanks dear friend
And yes it was completely unexpected and unplanned... cross my glass of grappa
Interesting to see the decreasing level of alcohol (from right to left) of these three bottles.
It seems you prefer Marille ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
This is the result of years and years of snowboarding in Republik Österreich
Zagreb brought me an enhanced appreciation for Grappa ;-)
A non round timepiece can be many things...
... Funky? (James Bond Moeris... the REAL James Bond watch! Lol! ) Madly Funky? (Sectora by Jean d´Eve) Classy? Longines, circa 1948 Classy ? (Tribute to Reverso 1931) Elegant and Timeless (Again TT Reverso 1931) Alarming? JLC Memovox Yes, non round timep...
Thanks a lot my friend Padj!! Glad you like the lot...
... yes the Longines is a very nice piece I found several years ago. A very interesting watch with an inscription on the back to the original owner. Guess it deserves an special post some day soon! Hagwe my friend! Abel
All winners again!
That old Longings charmer got my attention but can't pass by quirkiness of Jean d'Eve In the end Red Reverso that one Vladed me during Zagreb GTG Thanks for being here every weekend dear Abel Sincerely D
Always my plessure to participate dear Damjan! And ...
... thank you for your comments about the watches! Hagwe! Abel
Hej, Abel - you did it again to us & provide so many options !.. Hmmhh.. My fav here..
.. the unusual & eclectic Jean d'Eve, next for me the Red Reverso, although so often presented here by lots of Forum members.. - Yet, still a rather eclectic & unconventional icon.. Best & Cheers, hs
Interesting Theme dear Damjan!! Square or rectangular case watches...
... have a charm of their own! They look so elegant, classy and timeless! Your beautiful square Zenith is a good example of this type! I feel our friends will surprise us again this week end with some superb timepieces to admire. Will see what I can find ...
Just a couple of non-rounded..
Have a great weekend! SF The Urwerk - something going round and round in a non round case.. And the JLC - but look at the curvature of the case. One contribution from my wife..... ...
We thank you and your wife SF for making these weekend even greater
Here's to many more weekends together Sincerely D
Yeah ! Not bad...!
Pffr ! A real killer that 5100...! Maybe I'll have the chance to see the G one day...
Late to the party again, but I just realized that what I would call "the mother of square" has not yet ...
... been posted. So here you go: my Heuer Monaco 1133B and 1133G. Cheers, HSTE ...
Now that is THE sport square watch
And one I love most of all Heuers or TAG Heuers Wonderful input!!! Not late my friend the party has just started Best D
The Mother of Square
Uhhhmm. Wonder what the Pope has to say about this. Actually surprised not to see more of this genre. Great shot.
Mothor of Square Sports watches....
I give you that, but mother of square... No! Either way a great classic! Best Blomman
With that one there is no need for more
Excellent pictures as well Appreciate your input very much Thanks D
ahhh..... my "black dial" co-winner....
.....if i was judge, this would be an easy week for me.

What more proof do we need that there is no such thing as an 'exit watch' (if you still wish for more after this one).
