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: http://www.watchprosite.com/page-wf.forumpost/fi-17/pi-8921396/ti-1147986/s-0/t--what-is-the-nicest-rotor-ever-made-for-you/
Lugs: http://www.watchprosite.com/page-wf.forumpost/fi-17/pi-8938506/ti-1149141/s-0/t--what-are-the-nicest-lugs-ever-made/
If hands are almost essential to read the time (sorry Lange Zeitwerk), we all know that their shapes and styles can be very different from one timepiece to another.
Below are few shots of different styles of hands (not exhaustive of course). Among them, in your collection or not, what are the nicest ones for you?
From my side, I have a soft spot for "leaf" ones which are so sensual in my opinion.
What are your thoughts, comments and shots?
Empire, "pomme excentrΓ©e et Γ©vidΓ©e" or better known as Breguet now
