Time Only Magic
By: Jay (Eire) : May 17th, 2023-12:33
Not everyone is into the higher end of time only watches, and I can’t say I used to be a big fan either. It always seemed like a waste of watch budget considering one could get a perpetual calendar or a chronograph instead, both of which are far more inte...
Agreed. I love watches but find it hard to justify the prices

of some of the time only watches. I find it even harder to justify, for me personally the prices of the more complicated pieces for which I don't have a need for. I may be a outcast but I have no need for a perpetual calendar, moon phase, or chronograph. ...
I'm with you

One thing that I've only lately realized is that Patek, VC, and AP do not really play the 'indie' game of super-high-end time only, whereas Lange and Breguet do. Like you, I love chronographs and calendars (especially chronographs) but what I'm loving the...
Yep fully agree

If you keep stripping it back you lose the complications, the dates and even ghee seconds and are left with what a watch of this level is really about. And yes, ALS and Breguet here stand out. Funny that they are not as collectible as the other brands you...
Lovely example

Huge fan of time-only (and no date) here ...

And I'm totally biased, I mean, come on, my avatar is a fusee. I find that over the years, my tastes have shifted, from complex looking watches, to simple looking watches. I no longer want to own mega complications like a grand complication with a perpetu...
Yeah, but it’s a mind shift as a consumer.

Because the natural thought is that I’m not getting anything here, versus a perpetual or chrono where what you’re getting is obvious and tangible. Of course this could be executed in a way where you do feel like you’re getting more, Logical One for exampl...
Kind of like a Tourbillon that's hidden...

It's all about the fur inside the coat - the fur outside doesn't keep you any warmer. It's inside that counts. Now where's my fancy sable shawl...

It's funny to think of time-only as the black sheep of the horological herd. But I totally get it especially with expensive watches. That said, I have totally gravitated towards time only 3 handers as the root of my collection. The ability of a watchmaker...
Fantastic.

That’s the kinda of decision I was getting at; for a long time it would have not been the choice I made. Preferring maybe to buy something I can see (on the dial) versus something hidden around the back. Yours is a stunner, and more special than any perpe...
