Very cool selection. To be honest with you, I thought to Urwerk but I didn't know if we could talk about hands πŸ€” Like my AP Star Wheel, I think it's more satellites than hands. Anyway, that's interesting πŸ˜‰

The CVDK hands could be a "Louis" style but I don't know how to name them. The Deep Space is funny because relatively close to the UN Freak in its spirit.



Best wishes

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

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 UJ hour hand is very close to the KV one to be honest. The difference between the two is very small for me. I would be curious to know which one has been created first

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 😳 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 😍...

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

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...

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...  

The hands of your 349SPORT could be named the "UFO" ones. They make me think to a space ship. Very cool and unique
