WristScan 22 of Feb 2019: "Most Elegant" starts now!
As announced, this week's WristScan Theme is "Most Elegant"! I will play my Girard-Perregaux 1966 Enamel dial with sub seconds. To me, one of the most elegant watches I have in the collection! Now it's up to you, what you consider most elegant... Let's pl...
Waiting 8:30...
To start conquering the world ;-) looking at my Universal Geneve Shadow. Super slender, less than 2 one Euro coins with an UG 66-2 beating inside and flat blue alligator. No seconds hand, beautiful "bat" shaped case. That micro rotor was the thinnest auto...
Super elegant modern GP
really love that and wish I could justify another 1966 for myself...
It would have to be
my Moritz Grossmann piece unique Atum 37mm watch with an enamel dial. Sorry it remains unworn as it was couriered to me with a non alligator strap and they will be hand delivering the alligator strap to me in mid March. The hands of this watch are quite u...
Looks very elegant!
Looking forward to see live shots once you have the strap! Best Blomman
Thank you! It came as a set!
The pocket watch was made by Moritz Grossmann himself as a piece unique in 1872!! The wrist watch was made to celebrate this pocket watch. And quite amazingly the size of both watches are almost identical!! The engraving on the case is quite something The...
Wonderful and awesome set Sham!...
And of course a super elegant timepiece!! Hagwe! Abel
Wow, that’s unique indeed. With the story of the pocket watch, it is even more special.
Looking forward to see more pictures Stefan
Thanks Stefan!
One of the rare things about this pocket watch is that it only measures 36.7mm and has no personal engravings which I prefer. It was common to have one's coat of arms or initials engraved to a pocket watch in the 19th and 20th centuries. ...
Looking forward to it my friend 🙏🏻🤗
Still blown away after i saw your stunning L&H at SIHH 😘
There are some great photos of your set on the MG instagram:
along with other strong candidates ...
So happy to see you loving this piece, Sham.
MG make some gorgeous pieces-the best with the enamel dials. Yours is perfect for your taste. Better watch out pun intended you may start to fall for the Germans!
Funny you say that
because after securing this watch set, I have to confess that my interest in watches is waning as if I have secured the ultimate (for me at least). I have a Cartier Crash arriving at the year end, a RW Smith in two years time and my Patek skeleton in 2028...
I think for many of us
the answer might be lots!! But for me, as I wind my manual winding watches daily and have a minimal amount of space, I think 5 or 6 manual winding watches would be enough!
Top top class my friend 👌👌👌
I very much look forward to seeing it in the metal when you come... Wear it in the best of health and with special care, this one is very special but you know it better than me. Congrats again
Thanks Mike!
And congratulations on being appointed as a moderator. I only just noticed it!!
Some vintage elegance
Elegant watches...could be very much a subjective view. I think simplicity is one, but for real elegance, I adore thin straight lugs on a (not too large) round case. Like with this couple of elegant vintage GPs. And yup, very elegant on the wrist Best, CC...
That's often the case with these...
Not often but once you do, quality is there! Best Blomman
Lovely watches to demonstrate your recipe for an elegant watch dear CC!!
Truly beautiful pieces! Hagwe my friend!! Abel
Pure elegance ! 1950’s I am lead to believe.
They can’t make any better, even 50 years later Stefan
Definitely spot on my friend
This Gyromatic crosshair with arrow indexes is simply elegantissima 👍
Aaahhh, the CvdK, been a while.
A lovely, amazing watch. Unfortunately, for my tiny wrists, it wouldn’t look elegant.
For me, even 40 is too large when considering elegance.
And it is a chubby watch. But, for your giant wrist it looks perfectly elegant.
Wow Arie!! Complicated And Elegant indeed!!
A superb piece in a great shot!! Hagwe!! Abel
That is such an elegant piece!
A lot of very nice details in perfect harmony! Best Blomman
Elegance can mean different things to different people.
For me, it is something to wear for all but the most formal events. Small, simple and unobtrusive. I would throw in, something not likely to be recognized by those who don’t know. Like you, Mr. Blue, I will play with enamel dial. The purity of the dial is...
Great choice, elegant and with a little red twist. Love that one.
and yeah, another German ...
Beautiful dial, case, hands, movement...
and bonus points for platinum! Almost all of Lange's offerings are strong contenders in this category.
True. Lange makes some very elegant pieces.
Another strong contender for me was my 1815 anniversary, but I picked this as I wanted to limit to 1. ...
A superb besutiful elegant timepiece dear friend Zabreg!!
It follows your definition of elegant watch to perfection!! Hagwe! Abel
Just gorgeous.
Haven't tried the platinum one but did have a chance to spend time with a fellow watch lover who used to frequent here and his gold Emil.. What a beauty.
Really superb!
Either I am away too much or you’re adding watches at an enormous rate 👍🏻
Awesome watch dear Nicolas!! Truly elegant!!
A superb example in sime winning shots here!! Hagwe mi amigo!! Abel
You are killing me Nico
Every time I see it, BAM !!! It makes the same effect on me. One more train that I missed... luckily I have yours when I want to see one in the metal from time to time
Now that you invoked the Holy Father...
...he is bound to win this weeks challenge😁. Good spotting. Best, Horo
Tricky
I think i have a few that could fit this category, but I am going to rest with the most obvious....Patek 570G. About as classic as it gets for PP. ...
Well played! :)
Another "elegance without effort" looking watch! Love it! Best Blomman
I have seen many 570s
I like to the think mine is amongst the best condition. I do love it.
Different variation of GP 1966 model. No less elegant though :). [nt]
No message body ...
I had a colleague many years ago who was quite a negative chap
He thought everyone was stupid. He was always saying "this guy is stupid" or "that guy is stupid". Everybody was stupid. Now the problem with this strategy is that if everyone is stupid... then nobody is stupid!! When we define something we also define it...
Lots of gorgeous pieces in this thread
But when I think of elegance I think of "less". Just like this.
That’s elegant in my book dear D!! Beautiful...
... and classic elegance my friend! Hagwe! Abel
Thanks so so much dear amigo!
Very happy to know things going well. Hugs to all. Cheers D
Sad to see you're bleeding so profusely.
Though my blood is rather dark, and not so brilliant.
Now if you‘ve been to the Schneider Trophy banquet...
You win hands down! Great watch 👌🏻
Lovely and elegant my dear Captain!! And ...
... I love the background you choose for your picture, of course!! Hagwe! Abel
One rectangular & one round
Hi All A couple from me It's difficult to go wrong with a Reverso - especially in a GT case! HAGWE Cheers JML ...
Thank you! Well, as to the „roof“: the main pricing currently on Chrono24 offered......
......PP 3700 ranges between CHF 75k - CHF 150k which is fairly rich I guess. Cheers, HSTE
My humble offering
This seems to fit the bill for Elegance. There are many beautiful pieces in this thread. ...
So many elegant entries so far but I might have a few which can compete here...
Why not starting which some Indies that are dear to my heart… But Vacheron Constantin certainly has its place in this category also… Needless to say that Patek Philippe is a must here… You know it already for sure, I put my Wonder Watch 3448 of course at ...
Wow what a selection
Personally I am smitten by the Laurent Ferrier pieces, especially the Square. Such elegance and such class. Plus the movement is beautiful and I love that very few others have that same watch. Amazing selection!
Ahhhhhhh! The Mike is back! :)
Absolutely fantastic array of stunnings shots of elegant watches ! Thank you for joining, my friend! Best Blomman
Wow 😱what a amazing line up my friend .
You know my love for KV watches but in this WS theme my vote will go to your LF Galet square 👌🏻😘. Thats true elegance imho
Geez, Louise!!!
Not fair, Mike! This isn't the most elegant; this is the mostest elegant!
What an unbelievable selection, Mike!
So many absolute beauties here, it’s difficult to decide 👌🏻
Difficult this week it is
Possibly one of these two ( Joe please don’t castigate me for the diamonds ) Julian ...
I had forgotten that one ! PP 1593 is simply sublime
That reminds me my former 1593R, absolutely stunning piece ! This case is simply gorgeous, top elegant, the nickname of the 1593 is actually "Hour Glass", guess why ? Sublime piece… ...
Damn thats nice
Pity you sold I am looking for a pink gold model to finish my trifecta have been looking for a while but nothing has been found that I like J
Lovely pair!
The case shape is so beautiful! Yes, difficult.... Just to choose favorite of the elegant pair is impossible! Best Blomman
Thanks I knew Joe would be gagging on his wheaties!!
The diamond ref 1593 has no sub seconds , something requested by the original owner J
Let me play with three Pateks that I put pretty much on the same level in terms of (very classical) elegance, all which have been getting far less wrist time than deserved:
Calatrava 5119R (my first Patek ever, bought nearly 10 years ago!), Gondolo 5124G, and the annual calendar 5396R. Only the last one is still in the collection (the 5119 will be discontinued in March). To make the first two a tad less classical/boring to m...
I choose first if we talk pure elegance
Other two not bad a bit but first is so elegant
Not simple,but i think the
gold bezel,gold indexes,and slimness confers a degree of elegance to this chronograph Of course this is quite elegant and enjoyable best HAGWE henry ...
The more I read about
Iconic and elegent watches make me fall again back to WISdom If not elegent then it wont be in our collection right ? HAGWE ...
Hello dear friend Blomman! A wonderful theme for this week end! And ...
... a wonderful example of elegant design you show to start! As you well say, everyone will have his own definition of elegant and classy. Can a sport watch be elegant? Or only a “dress watch” like a gold Calatrava can be nominated as elegant. In my perso...
Thank you so much for your kind comments my dear friend D!!
and yes, thanks God things are slowly turning to normal now. Hagwe my dear friend!! Abel
Agree with you my dear friend Zabreg: the Reverso has ...
... an additional charm on its design !! Hagwe! Abel
Thanks a lot dear Nicolas!! I love these classic watches from these two brands!
hagwe my dear friend!! Abel
Seeing your Divers so frequently we forget the other part of your collection.
Some exquisite pieces, amigo.
Thanks a lot my dear friend !! Yes, sport watches are my thing but ...
... I enjoy these wonderful watches from JLC and Cartier as well!! Hagwe! Abel
These are some truly elegant pieces, Abel!
And you really should show them more often 😊
Thank you so much dear friend KM! Yes they surely deserve more wrist time and more pictures. I hope this year I will be able to enjoy more my warches...
... And put to rotate them more often. Cheers! Abel
Beautiful elegant selection my friend ! 👍
That American Tank is superb, I did not know you have this one, really nice...
Have been wearing this one the last 2 weeks....
which I think fits the theme . Cheers! SF ...
People associate IWC with pilots and divers.
But they forget their elegant pieces and their complications. My example: ...
Wow, that one is stunning
Would love to hear the sound it , striking the time. Best Stefan
Thanks! Not surprising that you're unfamiliar with the model, I chose it because of its obscurity. It's a Date Astrale.
I generally prefer no date watches but it's the retrograde date that drew me to it. As requested, additional photos... ...
Thanks for the extra pics dear Emil .
Like i said before its a beautiful JD . Love the retrograde date . Whats the case size ? Looks not that big on the wrist. .
It's great song!
Appropriate for many occasions... contemplative number...about life love and decisions we make
no, not the usual suspect....but nonetheless very elegant and classic
A Liam Brady of the watch world. Did i really just say that.
Yes you did.
Well before my time, and not sure I get the reference. But he was Irish so it's all good.
