A small sub-part collection theme : vintage inspired chronographs.
Having a sweet spot for these many beautiful chronographs from the past but shying away from the difficulties of the vintage market,the next best thing is modern technology combined with the looks from the past.
Over the past years I have assembled a small selection of these vintage inspired chronographs that are a good reminiscence of the past.
I guess,the GO Sixties model line was one of the very first succesful adaptations of the vintage style into modern watch making ...and for me these are still part of the best.
A brand that has a lot of merits re-introducing beautiful watches from their glorious past is without a doubt Longines : the classic "Tuxedo" chronograph is a fine example of these efforts.
Over the past few years Breitling is much more active in reviving models from their past : the Top time Mustang from the Capsule edition is a really cool watch!
And also Omega is becoming more active in this segment as shown with the Chronoscope in bronze/gold.

Anyone else liking vintage re-designed chronographs?

I recommend it
It's a really fun watch to wear, especially in this yellow gold panda dial version--feels like it's straight out of 1969! My first time owning a sporty watch in yellow gold and I recommend it.
That‘s a great theme, Gerard!
My favorite retro chrono remains the Cornes de Vache. Very easy to wear, always in style. ...
This is certainly one of the most beautiful and elegant chronograph's on the market.
Certainly on my wish list .....
Great selection of Chronos!
Really beautiful desing and so different one from the other. Great variety and selection!
Hi. Love your collection! May I ask where you got
the green strap for the Longines Heritage Chrono? The strap alone makes me want to buy the watch which I’ve always been drawn to. I don’t even know the size it needs. Help please? Thanks so much!🙏🏻
This is a pretty inexpensive strap from a company in Germany (Watch bandits).
They call it Vintage Petrol green ; size is 19/16.
Those are some beautiful choices and 100% agree on the interpretation.
Question: there’s a 42mm GO with a smoked grey dial that I’m considering. What do you think of the brand? I love pretty much all things German, since I grew up there. L
You can't go wrong with GO.
A great company with quality products: strongly recommended from my side.
Very interesting topic.
I don't have a lot of vintage inspired chronographs. I have more vintage chronographs. Here are my vintage inspired chronos. Alas, the Vacheron Les Historiques is part of the watches which were stolen to me... The Duometre has, indisputably, a vintage cha...
