I use to think that a watch or a fine timepiece is most admired and revered when it has some sort of complication built into it and the more of it, the better. There are of course many fine examples of such that do warrant such admiration, both in terms of its technological advancement and the exquisite craftsmanship required to bring it to fruition.
However, I believe that the simple time only pieces will always have a place in our hearts because it basically boils down to the essence of telling time. A quick glance down, a familiar (watch) face greeting us, is all we need in most instances.
Do you have similar thoughts? Please
share the love for your time-only pieces with us here. 
Here are two examples that I find totally adequate and fulfilling and when on the wrist I do not find myself wanting more.
Looking forward to your replies & HAGWE.

I can no longer fully enjoy perpetual calendar watches :-) Besides, no date, three hands are easy to adjust and I can go out in a minute - I like those..... especially the "old" Langes! Ken
Yes its a pain in this fast life to set your watch(perp cal aghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!)when you are in a hurry to get out of the house and want a change of timepiece... But its hard to resist the beauty of some...i coudn t live without my AP Perp skeleton..probably a milestone....It requires attention but ..its well worthy...I d rather wake up 15 min before and set it correctly:) Mo
I lioke your statement: the simple time only pieces will always have a place in our hearts because it basically boils down to the essence of telling time. So much more versatile. Br, Dirk
