One of mine is how Blancpain was able to brush the numerals in the Liquidmetal Ceragold bezel, with the same brushed finish as the case.  Very nice attention-to-detail.


Name one of yours! 

Cheers everyone

Will always love that little omega logo over the cannon pinion

Apologies for low image quality, I do not yet have a macro setup. ...  

It’s a nice Easter egg

Much more subtle than the Rolex rehaut, but still noticeable upon close inspection.

Very nice thread -- attention to detail is indeed one of the main signs of quality (hence, indirectly, of attention to customers), and it's always great to discover it in our timepieces! ;-)

Not sure if these qualify as "small," but among the many details that I love about the latest Patek I bought last summer (ref. 5088/100P) is the hand-engraving not only on the dial but also on the platinum case and even the buckle....It was one of the fir...  

Really incredible, Fab!

I love your watch, but hadn’t realized they decorated the case flanks and even the buckle! Now that is attention to detail! Thanks for sharing that! Douglas

Awesome point Ted! And since it doesn’t look like anything else,

The watch thieves in certain cities will likely ignore it as well! Always love seeing that my friend!

On Platinum Patek models of the modern variety

The diamond set in the case at 6, a subtle touch. More personal, less public. ...  

Not a Blancpain but...
