Just wondering if anyone else is feeling distinctly “Meh” about SIHH.
By: Bounce781 : January 15th, 2019-04:22
I am finding it VERY HARD to get motivated about the offerings. The Vacheron piece with dual frequencies is quite nifty, but I am just not excited (or even interested) about the rest. Is it just me or do other purists feel the same way?
Cheers, Dirk!

I’m with you here. 👍🏻
even worse than just a meh
By: Passionata_george : January 15th, 2019-04:29
the Cartier Prive Tonneau is very nice and the JLC Westminster is marvellous but none of them on my shopping list but the rest are just code1159....
Glad I’m not the only one!

I like “code 11:59” as a new term for terrible. Will try to use it in a post Soon! Cheers
A mainstream one and a left field one
By: VinnieD : January 15th, 2019-04:37
I liked the Montblanc line with salmon/copper dial, no date. Have to check the movement though Completely left field and very poetic is the minute repeater tourbillon by Moser without any hands. The rest indeed is not very inspiring sadly
Cheers,Vinnie!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who is not “inspired” by this lot. Ta
Let me add to this

Ulysse Nardin Freak X is very nice though. A little less of a freak but more wearable than the original one. Price seems realistic too. IWC is probably the worst offender of the show.
Yes me too.

The JLC Westminster is breathtaking, the Cartier Privee Dual time quite stunning - both out of my league my some considerable distance! The 15202 and Datograph Perpetual salmon dials look great but after that it’s all much of a much muchness
You're not alone

Some interesting novelties in six figure territory, nothing too tempting in mere mortal territory. The most compelling accessible release (IMO) are the new IWC Spitfire watches, good size, new movements, well priced... but I can't see myself buying any of...
I agree.

Absolutely nothing interesting. The moser with no hands is fun to see, and expected something like that from them, but otherwise... nothing. I don't want to name brands, but it says something when I find the most interesting piece by... (gulp)... Hermes!
Same here...

The only thing that really piqued my interest this year are the IWC pilots, specifically the Spitfire Chronograph. I don't really like the red 'SPITFIRE' text but I understand that this was only on pre-production models and the shipping watches will not h...
Definitely feel the same way.
By: vitalsigns : January 15th, 2019-11:27
There are several breathtaking pieces that I could never afford. But in the range of affordability, nothing is really driving my buying passion. I'd rather just scout around for pieces from prior years that I still like... Cheers, John
They are running out of ideas
By: Poky : January 15th, 2019-12:21
I think there are only so many designs and ideas they can come up with to keep the interest without being wacky. It feels like "I've seen this before, next..."
My wallet is safe from SIHH releases this year
By: reintitan : January 15th, 2019-14:09
unless they show that tropic California dial Panerai but my bet is that it will be revealed some months after SIHH (maybe during Baselworld to try to steal some thunder from that watch fair and its exhibitors). The watches revealed so far, while technical...
Vacheron twin beat
By: Tegis : January 15th, 2019-15:25
Thats something i havent seen or thought about before in a wearable size and it looks great to me. Not very likely i will ever even see or let alone afford one but a man can dream. Some other fine pieces but not like they can reinvent the wheel every year...
I agree
By: TJMike : January 15th, 2019-17:53
I feel VC did well, and while not a fan of the dials at least AP is trying something new. JLC released some nice watches (love the blue dial moon phase), but all very expensive. Nothing in the price range for mere mortals The Hermes moon phase is absolute...
A definite meh from me...
By: cory : January 15th, 2019-21:48
Apart from a few exceptional pieces that allow me to continue to have sweet sweet dreams.
