Dear friends Let's celebrate time (whatever that might or not be) this weekend. Show us your Chronographs and Chronometers in all sorts and forms. To begin with here is my pair of Jokers to play with this weekend. and one old heirloom on a propos backgrou...
Team, Let me try a with a watch that I choose to have dinner last night: The Olympic Official Timekeeper is part of a trio from the Omega Specialities, limited to 188 pieces. This one is the reference 522.53.38.50.04.001, in white gold. The case is classi...
I'm from the time that Omega had the reference number. This large number describes not only the watch, case material and even the strap and buckle. Not practical. But there are more creative ones, like JLC that uses not one number, the one that is engrav...
Well, Iโm not a chrono collector but I can play with at least two watches in my collection. My Breitling Spatiographe Montbrillant and my FPJ... Chronometre Bleu (yes, Iโm in the thematic with this one ๐). Best wishes Alkiro ...
I was talking about the โOlympic Chronometre Suisseโ with the salmon dial. Not the GP ๐ Sorry I didnโt understand your first sentence. My FPJ Chronometre Bleu is not qualified? Best wishes Alkiro
Start with some humble chip-ins.. JLC Geomatic SS & RG Chronometers with backside Planispheres Duomรชtre ร Chronograph What not to love ? Cheers & HAGWE to all ! hs. ...
.. who let me sniff these pathways ! In fact, these are really friendship pieces for me: - The RG Geomatic you kindly had me chaperonized & encouraged - and the Duomรชtre ร Chronograph represents a real symbol of sophistication & enjoying about connoisseur...
I canโt recall who posted it. But this Purist made a near perfect 7 piece line up. This picture is also the reason why I aspire to reduce my modest collection to 12. ...
Three of each: This one for Damjan because I know it kills you This one because it is the ultimate Chronograph complication: Rattrapante Foudroyante. And this one because it is my most elegant Chronograph. On to Chronometers: A classic C-Shape in steel: A...
. . . this was coming. What I didn't know until just now: Time Waits for No One has never been performed on stage . . . at least, not by the Stones. (Youtube search brought up a talented group of musicians performing a cover.) Hard to believe . . .
. . . to be fitted with a custom grey alligator strap later today. Pic of that ฮฉ chronomรจtre alongside his ref 2365 brother will be posted tomorrow. Promise!
.....i have been underwhelmed by it since I bought it. But that is a relative thing. I have owned teh 5070 since 2009 and y pleasure from that one has grown and grown....Dato......it ticks ALL the boxes for me, yet the ownership experience has been.....un...
... for this WPSWWS! I enjoyed so much reading your presentation of this theme and Chronos reference you wrote acouple of days ago! Chronographs is one of my favorite complications and a good part of my collection are chronographs. And Chronometers are a ...
... a Longines 13ZN chrono which nowadays has escalated their values so much that it belongs to the "unreachable" niche for me. But anyway this piece is a very nice and classic chrono with a movement which is second only to the famous 13ZN I feel. Glad yo...
. . . came in yesterday's mail. Hardcore ฮฉ-philes will recognize the significance immediately: nearly 100K Connies issued with a cal 505, likely under a thousand Seamasters. I've seen maybe ten in the last ten years, in every variation - steel (Bill Sohne...
. . . but I'll give it a shot when they're all together, hopefully within a few months. Still waiting for one to return from service, and this one will be going to my watchmaker next week. Best, Art
. . . based on my experiences - all were Norman Morris models save for one or two. And I only recall having seen maybe ten altogether. So they probably weren't seen often outside the US. Uncommon here, rare everywhere else. Warmest, Art
. . . as the inner section, it just reflects light differently. A slight change in position results in varying shades between the center and rim of the dial. When it comes to two-tone ฮฉ dials, the Japanese market Connies of the late '60s . . . . . . first...
. . . and found only one reference to a cal 505 Seamaster chronometer, appropriately from Bill Sohne nine years ago. Gold capped, and likely cased in Switzerland, judging by this image. Reams of posts relating to bumper SM chronometers and '60s 551/56x/75...
I hope we can meet at a GTG one day. If you ever have plans to be in the NYC area and have free time, please PM one of the us guys up here โ me or the gentlemen Padj or Willski who you probably know about too. HAGWE! -joe

Iโve seen this dial combo on two other Observatories but both in gold. The previous owner is a friend and Iโm eternally grateful to him for this piece. On posting it, Iโm like Smeagol with โMy Preciousโ it doesnโt see the forums bright lights too much heh...
Interestingly enough, these have the two ETA workhorses as well. Modified 7750 in the Sinn and a chronometer grade ETA 2824 in the Doxa. It was difficult to get a good view of the dial with the rubber strap on the Sinn, however it is a beautiful strap to ...
When you think about the history (for example, Cousteau's dive team used them), the quality, the design, the way it wears and then the price! You have a winner. Such a nice and enjoyable watch. One that you get your money's worth for. They even went to th...
The entries so far are overwhelming in quantity and quality. I only dare venture with a little red chronometer..... Chopard Mille Miglia 2015 Race Edition For ladies...... Chopard Mille Miglia 2015 Race Edition For gents.... Chopard Mille Miglia 2015 Race...
There is always an exception to every rule. Although this is an automatic winding watch, it has a "fuel gauge" because of the Chopard GTS Power Control reference in the Classic Racing line. The Power Control watches emulate the fuel gauge on car dashboard...
Ok, i am almost late...but Sunday is a good day to dig out some nice pics. I keep it simple: two vintage chronograps:: and a "near vintage" - this type XX is from the end of 90s or or very early 2000's, judging from the tritium dial. It has already develo...
. . . in the narrower sense of the term, designing and producing their own movements? Never seen one in the metal . . . any chance of sharing a movement image? Thanks, Art
and were therefore considered a competitor to Heuer. I believe the movement on my Leonidas is however a Landeron 48, but i am not 100% certain. I tried to open the case back but failed, have to see my watchmaker. regards Stefan
. . . just to satisfy my curiosity, Stefan. Leonidas was one of the more prominent actual chronograph manufacturers (in the narrower sense of the term) to the best of my knowledge, but I've never seen one in the metal. I wonder if they had distribution St...
