Here are seven different ways to interpret the flame lugs design. Do you find them extravagant or charming ? Do you have a favorite ? Best, Emmanuel A. PATEK PHILIPPE 1/ REF. 2413 yellow gold 2nd series credit: OBW Collection 2/ REF. 2424 credit: @2tonevi...  

but my favorite is the Longines. Thanks for showing them.

The Longines is full of character indeed! Best, Emmanuel

They are all so pretty, but I do have a preference for the more elongated ones on the VC timepieces....

I especially like the 4449, personally. Best, Emmanuel

PP 2413 is quite stunning too, but maybe a bit too much. Best, Emmanuel

VC is the undisputed king of fancey lugs

But maybe a bit too much for me. I like VC 4449 very much. And the IWC. Best, Emmanuel

if I wouldn't find it a bit too much on a daily basis. I like VC 4449 quite a bit. The IWC is quite nice too, imo. Best, Emmanuel

For another very informative post

The flames actually look like flames, at least from head on! Side profile is a bit less flattering. Looks like they had to add extra metal to the tip of the flame for sturdiness.

I find the 2413 very impressive, but a little less realistic "flames" would have been ok for me. Best, Emmanuel

I like the 4449 too, personally. Best, Emmanuel
