Horological Meandering

My latest chrono...what is yours

 

Yesterday I wandered into an AD and was immediately attracted by the JLC AMVOX 2 Chronograph DBS - the vertical trigger concept, the skeletonized design, the beautiful leather strap and its comfort on the wrist.

Needless to say, I walked out of the shop with an extra watch. Here it is:


The piece has now become one of my favorite chronos. The others in my collection are:

Grand Seiko Spring Drive Chrongraph



 


 

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore Chronograph Titanium


 

de Grisogono Power Breaker



Girard Perregaux Oracle Racing World Time



IWC Aquatimer Causteau Diver



A Lange & Sohne Datograph



Hublot Big Bang


Panerai Radiomir Rattrapante split seconds (PAM 214)



Blancpain Air Command Chronograph


 

Chopard Mille Miglia





Panerai Luminor Tantalium (PAM 192)



Ulysse Nardin Maxi Marine Chronograph with Annual Calendar



 

Roger Dubuis Hommage Perpetual Calendar Bi-retro Chronograph


 

And finally, Patek Philippe 5960P Annual Calendar



So, what is your favorite?

 

PS. I am anxiously waiting for my MIH, Montblanc (Star Nicolas Rieussec Monopusher Chronograph) and Panerai 1950 GMT Monopusante (PAM 275)...really sick, eh?

Sam

From your amazing Collection, my favourite are the Pam 192 Chrono Tantalium, the GP WW TC, the PP 5960 and the Dato, of course, and, needless to say, the JLC DBS! Speechless, my friend! Congrats! Best. Nicolas

Nicolas, you are such a knowledgeable person about watches

about 3 years ago i had a large number of old chrono's, but they've gone now leaving me with just a Bell & Ross Phantom and BRM V12-44. great collection you have there. the question i have to ask is.... how often do you use the chrono functions? the DBS i... 

Thx Graham

 
By: samwan : July 9th, 2008-04:04
Yes. I am expecting the MIH around that time. But my friends who have the watch tell me the chrono function breaks down easily - which seems to be a common problem of the ETA 7750 movement. Not that it bothers me since I rarely use the chrono function, wh... 

i've always considered the Valjoux...

Amazing, jaw dropping collection

 
By: respo : July 9th, 2008-07:42
Okay, just amazing! Thank you for sharing the collection. It is just great to see all of these at once. My faves are the DBS and Dato by far. And for the DBS, you chose the better of the two versions, as far as I am concerned. But don't you need the Duome... 

Good suggestions. Thx.

Funny it took me months to notice that little AM emblem on the second disc! Not to mention the rare sight of a RG datagraph! Congratulations and thanks again for sharing such a fine collection....  

Impressive Macro, Jester!

and very nice collection! Good diversity and quality, Sam. A few stealth chronos (apologies for the poor quality photos) - all without chrono subdials on the dial. This message has been edited by damien on 2008-07-10 07:55:24...
