Show us your wristwatch dial that resembles this.....probably my favorite watch design of all time....
Since I was a little kid I was drawn to this dial and I guess pocket watches in general, because wrist watches didn't seem to use it. But the elegant simplicity of this type of dial always stuck with me. Now years later it still makes my heart flutter to ...
Thank you my friend!
Hope you are keeping well. The Lang & Heyne remains one of my favourite watches.
the L&H is beautiful...
i suppose you got a Moritz Grossmann in similar dial no? Best, mahesh.,
Yes and no Mahesh! :-)
It has the Roman numerals but no sub seconds dial. And the dial is in Grand Feu Enamel! The hands itself are a work of art. ...
yes, that dial tugs at the heartstrings
for me as well. In the current lineup: Best Andreas ...
Here is another pocket watch that I own with a similar design
A convertible Elgin from 1879 with a vitreous enamel dial. The case is engine turned guilloche. The hands are blued to purple perfection. ...
I agree with Andreas. The dial of the RL PLM resembles closest to this AP pocket watch dial...
even down to the cut out 6 roman numeral 😉 ...
One of the nicest ALS imo
Discrete, understated, but absolutely gorgeous for the ones in the know
Almost twins...
Including the hands... And as wrist watch, this one is also very close, the enamel dial is not bad also... ...
Thanks for your kind words my friend
I must admit I have a real soft spot for this one
Lovely Chronometro Gondolo
the red numerals are untypical. It seems to be midsized, can you share the size?
Size is 56 mm so standard for this model but...
...obviously much more rare with these red numerals than the classic monochrome black numerals. Rare but not unique, you will find one in the PP book made by Osvaldo Patrizzi (Guido Mondani) in page 84 (#53) ...
I am feasting on the pocket watches
wrist and pocket versions make a lovely pas de deux. Unfortunately, I can only summon a pas seul. Please keep the pocket watches coming! 1910 Mention honorable, Observatoire de Geneve ...
IWC 75th Jubilee
Design and movement are to reference an IWC pocket watch from the 1930’s: ...
Pure classic design, totally love this style...
My beloved PSM from 2005, elongated romans in enamel are the bomb dot com! my prior L&H Johann which has gone to friend now Cheers, Tim ...
wow...the L&H is absolute stunner....extremely elegant & old school
i'm sure the movement is equally beautiful !
Thanks everyone. So many variations on a theme.
I guess I'm not surprised that many here feel the same way as I do about this elegant design and how it stayed with me for so long. No other watch design has had that impact on me.
On a similar journey to find a wrist watch with a dial that resembles my 56mm Patek Philippe Chronometro Gondolo (just back from Geneva)
It seems that German watch makers are quite prominent in using this style of dial. 1903 Chronometro Gondolo | 56mm | Lepine | Yellow gold | Double-signed on cuvette ...
This is a great piece and a wonderfully simple classic design, executed so well.
Enjoy your Felix! Cheers, Tim
