Nr 1
Let me start with Watch Nr 1 (probably the easiest since I don't know much better than that...) Watch Nr 1 Mr Laurent Ferrier The Laurent Ferrier Galet Tourbillon I like this watch because... who would say no to this?!?! Gorgeous dial, gorgeous movement d...
Number 9 (MB&F)
Just had to take a guess on the most obvious one for me (besides the LF #1)... Number 9 MB&F HM3 Starcruiser Maximillian Busser Love the HM3 for its innovative structure and time display... but love the HM3 Chocolate Frog even more! Fun Game! C I'm very c...
No. 11 Hi Don. It's been a while since I've posted but couldn't resist the challenge
Daniels' Anniversary Watch Worn by Roger Smith What do I like about the watch - nothing less than historic, magnificently finished, hand made in the true sense of the word. A testament to Sir George. Mitch
Whoever is wearing #11...
...had better not wear it around here, Mitch. We no longer have capital punishment on the statute books, so it would be well worth the risk of hacking his arm from his body and prising the watch from his cold dead wrist. Cheers, pplater.
I agree that it is THE watch but.....
if I am correct and it is being worn by Roger Smith, it would not be a good idea to hack off the wrist of the gentleman who is to produce this series. i have a personal interest in making sure that all parts of Roger's body remain solidly intact for many ...
Number 8 and...
Well, for Number 8 I'm going to skip the obvious choice of wearer at the risk of being wrong (but hey -- the downside is pretty minimal!) - Thomas Prescher Triple Axis Toubillon - Tim Jackson - Love it because of its technical virtousity -- the visual asp...
Close, close, far, right on!
nr 8 - The watch is a Prescher 3-axis tourbillon, correct - I guess who is wearing it is too obvious, another try? But as a hint, Tim Jackson is in one of the other pictures. nr 19 - of course that is a Halter Classic, but who is wearing it? Who might be ...
Nr 8 is Prescher worn by Prescher ....
... I think I recognize the shirt. Regards, Marcus
Well seen Marcus, correct [nt]

Pr 4 is.....
Is the Ochs und Junior Due Ore Tinta. I am guessing it's on the creator's wrist - Mr. Oechslinhimself? I love the simplicity in mechanism design, the design philosophy of not "finishing" the case, and youthfulness I the design. J. This message has been ed...
Watch correct!
The wearer is not, but well known here on the site. Keep on guessing! Don
Nr 12 is....
Vincent Calabrese's Regulus Flying Tourbillion on his wrist? I don't know too much abt the watch but it is unique in its design oath flying Tourbillon. J. This message has been edited by JMan on 2012-03-10 22:43:43
No. 21 is easy, Don...
It's the Vyskocil, at last! Was it promised for Baselworld this year? Last year? The year before? The wrist is a photoshop composite of the wrists of all the subscribers... Cheers, pplater.
No 7 is the Jutzi Regulator
Almost the same style as the Jutzi for Goldpfeil, except that the arrows now lack tails, and it has Jutzi's name under the moon phase. Is it on Jutzi's wrist? I have no idea. Cheers, Daniel
No 18
This I think s Tim Jackson with his Lang & Heyne Johann. Very nice watch and very nice guy! Joe
No. 15 has to be Sarpaneva's new baby
Korona K0 - first diver watch by indie. Is it on the watchmaker's own wrist? I like the watch as it is not a conventional diver watch - with rotating bazel integrated with the dial. I am not sure whether this is the first. Regards Ling
"First diver watch by an Indie"???...
That's a big statement, ling - one that Pita, with his Oceana, might think a little unkind! Cheers, pplater.
Pplater, I think you are right!
Oceana appears to be earlier than Korona K0. Any info on the date of release of Oceana? Regards Ling
You also have the vexed issue...
...of "what is an Indie?". There have been other dive watches by watchmakers or brands who would perhaps be seen as "Indie". Consider Jean Richard's Diverscope; Bathys watches; Linde Werdelin; Richard Mille's RM028 and RM032; Clerc Hydroscaph; others perh...
Nr2 is a GF prototype, and who is wearing it? [nt]

Who's shirt is this one?
I'd love to see the entire shirt. Very bold indeed! Looks like leather too. Cheers, Anthony...
Of course a Freak...
and the wrist belongs to the well known watch journalist Beth Doerr. Don
Number 23 . . .
. . . is Glashütte Original's tasteful revision of the PanoMatic Lunar. Wrist model: Tony A. The "new look" for the Pano series - especially the PanoReserve - has caught my attention. Art
It's maybe too hard; let me tell you Nr 20...
as it was just announced at the fair I think you have little chance of guessing it. Watch: Badollet Ivresse Wearer: Eric Giroud, the watches designer My appreciation: Totally understated and fine. The proportions are perfect, the movement a flying tourbil...
You know we're a sad bunch when we know each other's wrist hairs and cuffs!
I'm starting to think some of us need to go get a Real life! Cheers Cazalea
