Halcro, a respected member of the WatchProSite community, sparks a lively debate by challenging the traditional notion of a 'dress watch.' He presents a diverse selection of timepieces, from classic dress watches to modern sports models, asking readers which watch would compel them to initiate a conversation with its wearer. Halcro's post thoughtfully explores how evolving social norms have blurred the lines between formal and casual horology, prompting collectors to reconsider what truly makes a watch 'talk-worthy' in any setting.
#1 is very interesting. What is the ref? I haven't seen many guilloche grand seiko. The vc patrimony traditionnelle is one of my all time favorites. Thanks for sharing
The Grand Seiko, Moser, Credor, and Louis Erard. Perhaps even the Cellini. My reasoning is that there’s a good chance the owner will be a watch person and all those watches are interesting to me. You have a wonderful collection though, they all have their appeal!
It's the SBGY003....And it's not guilloche. GS have developed amazing techniques for dial construction and finishing as I'm sure you know and this dial undergoes up to 17 stages of construction and finishing
You're apparently the only one to understand the challenge.....? Must be my bad 😳
Because I have seen those dials being made, and that's a rare beast worth talking about (of course about 10 others attracted me too, but you asked for one). Cazalea
Thanks for those photos… You’re indeed one of the luckiest amongst us to have witnessed this process…. And you’re right… It IS worth talking about 🤯
