What are the nicest watch hands for you?

Hi all, After two topics based on the nicest rotors and lugs (links below), the time has come to talk about hands π... No! Watch hands π Rotors: www.watchprosite.com / Lugs: www.watchprosite.com / If hands are almost essential to read the ...

Great post Cheers D P.S. I really like the hands of Tzar
Yes I am and... I love that π
By: Alkiro1 : September 5th, 2017-10:33
Tsar hands are not so bad true. 7 in total like the deadly sins and the number of different guillochΓ©s π Best wishes Alkiro
Many thanks π

Will you be surprised if I vote for...

- Laurent Ferrier assegai hands (thanks for the credit) - Voutilainen "pomme" hands which obviously are close to the Breguet ones but not identical at all neither in the shape nor in the color (2 tones white blue for the KV vs one tone blue for Breguet) B...
Not surprised at all my friend π
By: Alkiro1 : September 5th, 2017-11:04
The LF hands are splendid and "close" to the leaf ones I love so much (typically the ones of the Moser Mayu for instance). They are both so sensual as I wrote. I'm less fan of the KV hands to be honest with you even if they have their own style which is p...
The Ferrier assegai hands are out of this world...

... followed in my view by the Breguet hands. The VC Mercator hands stand out as well, as do almost all sets of hands you featured. The most spectacular ones (Parmigiani) are the only ones I actually dislike π¬π It's a wonderful topic, Alkiro! Thanks for b...
Thank you for your kind words dear Henrik π

The leaf Hentschel hands are really my taste. And when you know that they're blued I fall in love π I'm with you about the Laurent Ferrier assegai hands. So gorgeous. Regarding Parmigiani Fleurier hands, I love them because they have an historical story a...

YIKES

Imagine the sword on the far left for chrono hands?!!!
Thanks a lot my friend for your kind comment

I don't know if you have the same feeling than me but the hands of your Blancpain make me think to a needle eye π³ I don't know if that was the goal of Blancpain when they designed them. You know how much I love the snail "Mamma Mia" dial of your Breguet π...
Easy! ;-). Not pictured,

vintage late 1930 - early 1940's radium lumed sword hands and matching lumes. Hands and index most often go in tandem... Best Z'
I was waiting for a vintage hand lover π

You're right when you say that hands and indexes have to be consistent together if we want to obtain a great harmony. So true! Thank you Z Best wishes Alkiro

On the VC Mercator
By: Prodyutb : September 5th, 2017-17:20
The hands should ideally be described as "dividers". Measuring the distance between two points on a chart is made easier with dividers. A technical drawing instrument used for inscribing circles and arcs and to measure distances. Mercator refers to a type...

Hum... A dream, came true

Hi Alkiro! I know, I'm repetitive, sorry... Here are the unique hands of my 349SPORT. But I'd like to mention also the three-dimensional hands used in many Chopard L.U.C references, as the Lunar One (picture below, taken from the internet). I find these s...
So hard to choose a favourite...
By: KMII : September 6th, 2017-05:33
And it depends so much on the watch. I definitely get weak kneed over the pomme hands on the Cartier 2396... At the same time the cathedral hands of the Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter are splendid, too... And at the same time I like the modernist appeal of the...

The press-fit gold and steel rings and curved tips are my fav for sure.
