Favourites of the year
Hi All,
Now that the dust has settled on the two major watch fairs of the year, SIHH and Basel, which watches have floated to the top and stayed in your mind? What pieces will you take a second look at when they arrive at the dealers and boutiques?
Here are some of the memorable pieces for me:
DeBethune DB28 (with blued titanium lugs)
Audemars Piguet Millenary 4101
H. Moser & Cie Perpetual 1 Golden Edition
Harry Winston Midnight Big Date (RG with black dial)
Sarpaneva Korona K3 Northern Stars (WG with blue dial version; LE of 10)
Jaquet Droz Bird Sculpture
Svend Andersen World Time with blue gold dial
Stowa Flieger Chronograph
And my favourite balance spring of the year: the Montblanc Tourbillon Bi-Cylindrique with paired cylindrical hairsprings.
Andrew

Opus and HM2
For me... it has to be the Opus 11 and the final edition of the HM2... both beautiful watches IMHO!...
Andrew and Moc started hard
It's an interesting exercize as I had to come back to what I saw concerning the SIHH 3 months ago and because we have to make quite a selection. As a conclusion I would say that I'm surprised I finally selected only original and audacious work, with a hig...
GS this time around . . .
g . . . because it represents their latest technology in aesthetically pure wrapping. Runners-up would be the G O Senator Seventies . . . . . . and Omega 1948 . . . . . . which both capture the gestalt of their respective eras, but not quite to the same e...
Excellent watches....
I love the retro aesthetics. The GS is something truly special . Cheers, Filip

With my new penchant for Elegant and Understated Classics
These four... From Lange... From Audemars... From Patek... And finally, from Vacheron........
The AP millenary and the
Harry Winston midnight big date are my favorite. As far as dream watches that are unattainable for myself I love the AP millenary minute repeater and the GP tourbillon with three gold bridges. I imagine it is very difficult to come up with new and interes...
Still hoping to see it in person soon...
The Laurent Ferrier timepiece is of great interest to me and has the potential to be my favorite of the year. In the meanwhile, I love the Richard Lange Tourbillon PLM. Very happy with the Jaeger-leCoultre Memovox Tribute to Deep Sea. Patek Philippe has a...
My shortlist, lead by opus 11
