Horological Meandering

A bit late to this party, however, you’re speaking my language in spades!

 

I fell for the ALS Cabaret a long time ago, especially the RG with Moonphase. I felt it was a very elegant watch and technically was amazing to have the Lange grand date as well as the moonphase complication in the rectangular caliber.

I also really enjoy the GO Senator Karree, particularly the automatic Cal39 based QP version. Unlike the ALS it only had the form fitting caliber in the manual wind version. A small slight against it.

Then when Marco showed me the new model in 2017, his Georg, I was smitten. It took me a while to get my RG piece, and it’s in my top three pieces in my collection.
A pure example of Saxon watchmaking, with an enamel dial, which I quite partial to. The movement was a departure from Marco’s prior endeavors and it is a joy to look at under magnification!

You have shown many lovely watches and I appreciate your gathering these gems to share.

Here’s my beloved Georg























Cheers,
Tim

German rectangular watches

My recent dive into shaped calibers & watches inevitably led me to these German rectangular masterpieces. Have a great week-end! A. LANGE & SÖHNE ARKADE with caliber L911 Ref. 103.021 yellow gold (credit: Loupe This) Ref. 103.007 white gold (credit: watch...  

The cabaret is cool. Winds well too.

The L&H manual wind feeling is less good / precise. May I recommend the Patek 5200g? Blue dial, form movement, rotary day-date. Chk

Yes,

I included the 5200G silver dial in my yesterday's post on shaped calibers . Here, I wanted to concentrate on German watches. The blue dial is nice too, but not a favorite of mine, though. Best.

Yes, you're completely right: it takes so much time gathering all these photos and models...

I stick to what speaks to me most and to what I know a little better (or less badly) than the rest. Very sorry: I should've titled my post "some (or a few) German rectangular watches". Hopefully, another member will fill this blank. Best.

Late to the party . . .

. . . hope the invitation still stands. This was mine; it's in the hands of a dear friend now, so I still get to see it every once in a while. Art ...  

Thanks, Art!

And let’s not forget Chronoswiss - German as well 😉 The Digiteur 👌🏻 ...  

Thank you!

These Nomos are less to my taste, because to modern and minimalistic. Matter of purely personal taste of course.

Darth for me too.

Hanwerkskunst is a bit too elaborate for me, but fantastic nonetheless.

These are all beautiful watches.

Always had a soft spot for the Lange Cabaret : maybe one day ....

Yes, the Cabaret looks really good.

I particularly love the platinum black dial variant (even though I'm a rose gold guy usually).

A bit late to this party, however, you’re speaking my language in spades!
