A few shaped calibers

Because shaped watches look better with shaped calibers, here are a few pretty nice ones.

Enjoy!

Yes, wonderful watch and caliber.

By: quattro : October 18th, 2024-16:19

But the anglage of both the Parmigiani and the Vacheron is amazing, imo. And I also like the Grand Cru a lot. Between these 4 watches, I would personally have a hard time choosing. And would probably go for Parmigiani's Ionica, because of the double-coine...

If only the Vacheron had the tourbillon on the back side!

By: amanico : October 18th, 2024-16:25

Yes, I have mixed feelings too.

By: quattro : October 18th, 2024-16:41

It's like a big opened mouth. But it's part of the "strong" aesthetic and I really find this particular model to be one of the most attractive in its own kind.

The back side is really my taste, I must say.

The architecture is wonderful. And the sharp angles...

By: quattro : October 18th, 2024-16:57

Absolutely.

Seems hip to be square...and tonneau..and...

Amazing stuff, quattro!

Hip indeed! ;-)

Thank you, Bruckner!

Fantastic post. Thank you!

Thank you so much, Michael!

By: quattro : October 18th, 2024-16:21

Best, Emmanuel

BTW, I have never seen that Parmigiani before. I LOVE it!

By: MichaelC : October 18th, 2024-16:25

Yes, what a beauty, this Ionica!

By: quattro : October 18th, 2024-16:34

Here’s one more.

Thanks, Gary: this is indeed a nice and original shaped watch,

By: quattro : October 18th, 2024-16:30

but isn't it powered by caliber 835P which is round ?

Yes perhaps.

By: gary_g : October 18th, 2024-17:31

Not a bad one in the group. Interesting post, thank you.

By: M4 : October 18th, 2024-17:42

Thank you for looking!

By: quattro : October 18th, 2024-19:59

Do not like the round movements in the Cubitus😉

By: hora12reborn : October 18th, 2024-19:43

Yes, square calibers would’ve been a great feature.

By: quattro : October 18th, 2024-20:00

Nice group, thx, but A.Lange Cabaret is clearly missing here.

By: smironov : October 19th, 2024-09:02

You're absolutely right:

By: quattro : October 19th, 2024-09:12

I've spent my morning putting up a new post specifically dedicated to German rectangular watches !

Wow, bravo!
