These two of my beloved watches share three distinct similarities that really excite me. 


 Do you have a guess as to which they could be

I can throw in a black leather strap

Hmm

Remontior, Platinum, manual wind? These are such a power couple!

Knowing you, I can see the joyful smile on your face

Good question!

Nonstandard time displays, asymmetric dials, subseconds, remontoir, power reserve, PT case, manual wind, uncommon/unrecognized brand among the public, and BEAUTY. That's everything I can think of!.

see my take on striking similarities in my comment

Constant Force.

But I can’t think of others as I assume you are referring to technical aspects. This sparks a question of mine, and I think you are the right person to answer it. Is “constant force” as we understand it as a means to more constant timekeeping just a gimmi... 

Hi Jay 😊

without Remontoir de égalité/Constants Force, Zeitwerk would not be able to function at all. At Zeitwerk, it ensures the instantaneous change of the time discs and prevents the destruction of the caliber that the otherwise violent force of the huge strong... 

Thanks Robert.

I should have been more descriptive, I think I understand the use in these two watches. For the ZW, and similarly for my Vagabondage, it’s crucial to the display of time / discs. I guess my question is more this general idea or goal to achieve a constant ... 

Hi Jay 😊

There are many ways to achieve the correct display of time. Not least the skills of the watchmaker. This is the explanation for the fact that at the time when observatory chronometer competitions were held, it was both the watch and the Master watchmaker ... 

Great photo!

Platinum Manual Constant force escapement Eccentric seconds dial Dial color I remember the first time I saw ZEITWERK at the armory in nyc during a watch show. It’s very different than any watch I’ve ever seen. However, I prefer the FPJ hands down. Aesthet... 

Similarities that really excite me

Similarities that really excite me. For both, the year the watch was launched the watch was awarded one of the watch world's finest awards, the "Aiguille d'Or" at The Grand Prix in the annual Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève (GPHG). Both watches have a u... 

MeToo with yr stab.

Btw, constant force would defy the laws/understanding of current physic if it purely mechanical parts. Many manufacturers toy with constant force notion, imo it can only be achieve if you have sensor inside to detect the input & output. Dun burn me as... 

2 masterpieces!
