They may not be as well accepted as round watches but in certain periods they were very popular and gave birth to classics like the Cartier Tank and JLC Reverso.Would like to hear about other examples and variations on this theme.Lets show some of them of...
That's a particularly nice Reverso . . .
. . . and I'm curious about the 2554 - are there two different watches pictured, perhaps in different metals? Admiringly, Art
Did I miss something, Fernando?
Don't tell me you just got this one, my friend... You know that I'm hunting this Platinum Cabaret with the black dial. To make the perfect trio. Well, I'm not unhappy with this beautiful 70eme: Best, Nicolas...
Aaah, I forgot,
Round Ovale case: JLC Ref E 877 ( Memovox Cal 916 ). Best, Nicolas...
Do you have more pics
It's very nice, but in this shot it's hard to see that it is oval. Never seen the watch, Geo
More than pics, Géo
A Review. Click here, my friend: jlc.watchprosite.com Best, Nicolas
Yes, I just got it Nicolas.
Didn't know you have been hunting it. Maybe the next piece to come along? It's heavy though but exquisite. Best Fernando
More than the weight, I would rather speak of " Density ", Fernando
For this lovely piece. The density of the platinum is perfect on watches of modest size. It is surprising, but very pleasant to feel its density on the wrist between your hands. Will have to wait, then... Best, my friend. Nicolas
Nicholas, I need to tell you again that this is a fantastic piece
IMO, probably the best spokes piece for JLC.
At least, one of the nicest, indeed
Don't have an eye on the Gyro I, the Reveros Platinum tourbillon skeleton, the Duo Metre, and a few others, or you will dangerously fall in love, my friend. best, Nicolas
Unfortunately, not mine
That was taken at the London GTG last year. What a great time it was!
Let me add these two utterly exquisite Reversos . . .
. . . to the list, Allen: Ok, Nicolas, you can put your eyeballs back in their sockets now ;-) . . . cordially, Art...
Very nice that grey dial, wow this is a superb topic
for someone that's not into rounds. Geo
My predilection for rectangular watches . . .
. . . is difficult to explain, Geo. I think part of the reason is that round forms are subliminally expansive, so while I feel comfortable wearing my vintage round watches, there's a finite limit beyond which I feel a round watch is out of proportion with...
Thanks Geo....
pics don't do them justice and normally I wear it with the back on show..!! Andy.
Thanks, Geo. 2 of the 3 have found new homes
They are sorely missed! This message has been edited by Allen on 2009-04-29 09:17:11
Allen, what is the middle...
Allen, what is the middle watch in these 3? i like the look of it, it looks familiar, but i cant place it. best Graha
Allen, thanks for that....
Allen, thanks for that. i thought i recognized it. will we be seeing you in London june 29th? best Graham
My eyeballs are rolling on the desk . . .
. . . pardon me while I try to put them back in place ;-) . . . cordially, Art
What shape would you call this one?
Push a button and the movement slides out for you to see. Wrist shot:...
Aaargh, Allen
The 5100 is my grail rectangular watch... And this KV!!! Brings back to great memories. Best, Nicolas
Great photos Allen!
It makes life so easy to appreciate the beauty of these watches when there are such superlative photos being taken of them.
What a stunning collection of Cartiers, Geo!
I love that last one the most. So you don't have ANY round Cartier at all?
Thanks Allen
No, I do have a few round ones like the Pasha and the Rotonde. But Cartier is really famous for their square and rectangle models. Geo
This 'hand', Geo...
...has been well worth the wait! Stunning group - many thanks. Cheers, pplater.
Beautiful shots of beautiful watches...Fernando
Your black dial Cabaret with deep brown strap is stunning. I like this combination a lot. PP is not bad either. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Had a few, but all vintages
Have these today -This is my current favorite, a nice older Hamilton: Also have this Lucien Piccard: and this Gothic This one is not really significant aside from when I bought it off eBay, the seller neglected to show that the caseback was engraved - eng...
One aspect of Omega's history that I find mystifying . . .
. . . is my perception of the community's lack of interest in their form watches. Are there any on your wish-list, Kurt? Cordially, Art
If you mean the lack of popular rectangular case Omegas
I really liked the simplicity of that (pricey) Kennedy reissue, but would much rather have the vintage. There were some gorgeous rectangular/square cased watches they did in the 10s -50s. This message has been edited by mrsnak on 2009-05-02 18:25:32
You're singing my favorite song, Fernando . . .
. . . rectangular watches of golden ratio proportions drive me to distraction . . . . . . cordially, Art...
Nicolas has already named it...
When we met in Paris some time ago and saw this watch in a local boutique, Nicolas referred to it affectionately as 'the toaster'. From that very moment it was inevitable that one would be added to the watchbox! Have you a name for yours Geo? Cheers, ppla...

Thanks for your contribution Antony.
I guess there are a huge variety of non- round watches to choose from. RM 11 looking good!
The MBF HM1 in the metal, on the flesh...and with a girl.
The watch with an unusual pen. There...the watch on the wrist looks absolutely great. Not a tad too large!...
Nice pics. Bernard!
HM1 is such a gem and probably the most wearable. Have to say, it's also my favorite of the 3. She's a beauty too.
Wow, Rolex from the time they made beautiful watches
Never understood why these Princes were not re-released. More as they were, not like the current ones. Geo
Oh, my goodness! Quite a line-up of vintage 9"'-90s you have there, Julian . . .
. . . all you need is a 5105 to complete the set . . . cordially, Art
Don't get me started on the 5105- so near but so far
Thanks for all the compliments Still looking for a RG 1593! Julian
some Omegas to keep Art happy plus some others.
All of these i own or have owned. some pics not good as they are pre digital ownership. Museum pieces first and now a 1916 solid silver original Petrograd. enjoy Graham...
Great thread :-)
My JLC Reverso and one i haven't seen in this loooong list of beautiful watches.... a Monaco...
It is, isn't it?...
It's sometimes easy to overlook the obvious. By way of reparation, here's the Monza from the back of the watchbox: Cheers, pplater....
Lovely Monza!!
That Monza deserves a better place in your watchbox! It's design is just perfect and the classy / sporty looks match with any outfit. (sounds like a cheesy advertisement, but it's all meant). I hope to add a Monza to my collection some day... preferably a...
That's because we're a bunch of unworthy watch geeks, Graham . . .
. . . the King of Cool . . . . . . knew what was up ;-) . . . cordially, Art...
