Apologies for starting this a little early..... This week's topic is "complications". What is your favourite complication? Minute repeater? Amagnetic? Central second hand? Automatic? Water-proof? GMT? World Time? Lume? No lume? Chronograph. Or maybe pure ...
.. along these lines and your intro, dear Joe, I deliberated a bit: - is it a single complication ? ( actually I don't have any watch with high- end complication(s).. - a World Time or Geographic ? - well, to me more indication, than complication.. - moon...
You have so many complications in one - like a kinder egg! ;) Hour, Minute, Sub-second, Big date, Day-Night indication, Reverso, GMT, GMT indicator, 24 hour indicator, Power reserve..... Did I miss any? Great choice, my friend! :) HAGWE Blomman
.. like this, life is so goot & sweet.. Our little drink together, " au bord de la Seine", in the deck chairs after a cool ride in your cabrio, also counts to those... To many more of these moments !! Thanks & Cheers, Best, hs
.. I can understand, that you can't decide for only one ! My humble personal picks, if allowed, would go for the JLC MR, the UN Sonata and the PP World Time - yet, as you can see .. - that way, I have not even touched the Rolex " Magic Bag" ! ;) But also ...
While the JLC MMR is pure magic. The PP is a dream. And the Rolex GMTs are pure rapture. No, I can't choose between magic, dream, rapture and friendliness... No, I can't. No.. I don't want to. ;) Best, Nicolas
Four of my favorite complications: - Alarm - Diver (Waterproof) - Antimagnetic - Chronometer But the most difficult complication that both of these watches have: for me they are Grail's, Reserve de Patron, call it what you want... They form the core of wh...
I can't help getting lost in a tourbillon... Here's a few from the last couple of weeks... Sports watch...? An uncomplicated breakfast... Complicated but simple with jeans... Or one to dress up in... Cheers Andrew ...
My favorite complications are the ones that are so clean you don't know they're there. This is doubly true of the Nomos Tangomat, probably the "cleanest" watch ever made. White faces and silver bezels It's actually hard to see the complication in the Nomo...
Launched in the late 40s/early 50s per Abercrombie & Fitch department store request and based on the Solunar theory, this Seafater made by Heuer offers a moon and tides cycles complication shown on the rotating disc on the left Definitely the ultimate com...
... considering it comes with its full set, including box, papers, buckle and original elephant leather bracelet, all in especially good shape for a 61 years old watch ...
simple yet useful. I like PR indicators, they are useful and give a dial something special. Here an example from my collection: GP Sea Hawk II "To John Harrison" Check out the fine pattern on the PR dial. HAGWE, CC ...
.....yep..... that should be a complication in itself. Totally agree.....i have definitely found myself selling watches with dials that are too....err.....fussy.
Hi All If you go on the number of variations of the same thing, then it has to be an alarm for me. There is something magical about having a little mechanical alarm clock strapped to your wrist - the other bonus is that there are lots of vintage ones out ...
Hi Really like the fact that everything is driven off a single crown with the Lanco - very elegant implementation of an alarm. There are caveats around buying them - Graham has explained this in detail. Yup the dot at the top shows whether the alarm is li...
... tourbillons, or minute repeaters. By the other hand, I love chronometers and Universal timers. Chronos can be enjoyed for little money and with beautiful dials, like this old Ardath... Or you can get a more classic brand beautiful dial like this old m...
.. to also consult my wallet a bit, - as all my other desires still are there ;) But yes, since you are at the helms of GP here I indeed am more frequently looking.. My guess is, I would first be looking for a nice Gyrodate or a Chrono, both in Vintage - ...
.. is a real love ! - and I'm enjoying this a lot !! But looking a bit left & right sharpens the senses & makes returning even nicer !! My best for your WE ! hs
I know you are stronger, I KNOW you want to .... Come join the REAL Bad Boys on the other side.... Welcome over to the Dark Side! :::))) Mohahaha! Mr Evil
OK, as long as my friends are there - fine with me !.. The Dark side.. Who else ? I guess, you and a certain dark Count are already there... Thanks for highlighting the route.. Best and HAGWE !! hs ;) ...
.. sorry for the somewhat tardy response, pls.. But should be not too late for our Nordic friend, possibly (?) Nevertheless, my Best. hs One of the best sides.. Here in my City My special greetings to you & yours ...
.. MIH is a wonderful piece, pure & clean ! - the mirrored masts ( I guess) are also a superb twist of the pic Funny, that I am feeling for a while now, that this very MIH would make a desirable addition for me.. Thx for sharing and HAGWE ! Best, hs
I had myself an unexpected crush on a Zenith chronograph recently... not the most elegant one, a bully to be honest Surprisingly love at first sight for a brand I thought I would never consider... except for the legendary 135 obviously. Thanks you very mu...
... we are not suppose to "play" twice, but since I got this yesterday afternoon I hope you would excuse my "presumptuousness" Hagwe dear purists - Fred ...
Hi Baron, my favourite compliation is the date indication, preferably in a window. Yes, I know, it is not fancy, not romantic, not technically outstanding, but very useful in my everyday life. My favoured romantic complication is the moon phase, the most ...
Yes, these vintage Omegas are timelessly elegant timepieces. Sadly the brand has completely abandoned this production line since. Many of us vintage lovers would be happy to see these watches being reedited today. Kind regards anaesdoc
We seem to share a similar taste in watches, then. Flawless taste in my perception :-)! Finding this vintage Omega Seamaster DeVille in marvellous condition was a great luck and even better that it happened in our CM. Yesterday I got a vintage Constellati...
