We all like top 10's so here is my top 10 iconic watch designs..
For me perhaps the ultimate factor in buying a watch is the design, what it looks like. If it catches the heart with its aesthetics, then other factors such as mvt. make and importantly cost come into play. some designs have lasted well whilst others have...
Real headscratcher, but I will try to answer.
1/ JLC Gyro I. 2/ VC Skeleton Minute Repeater in platinum. 3/ U.N Freak. 4/ U.N Astronomical pîece ( on particular favourite, though ). 5/ Patek 5110P. 6/ Langematik Anniversary. 7/ JLC Duometre à Chronographe. 8/ Rolex 6542. 9/ Rolex Big Crown ( or Tudor...
Excellent post, let me try....
...ICONIC design, did you say? Then... I would add: Lange 1 and its variations Lange Datograph Breguet 5907 or such simple ones Grand Seiko SBGW series Richard Mille (in general) ........ I very much agree with AP RO, PP Calatrava, Rolex GMT/Diver, Cartie...
Casio G-Shock
As much as I agree with a large number of choices--especially the list with the OP--we cannot deny the Casio G-Shock its rightful place in the Top 10. It is perhaps THE watch that nourished our desire for large cases.....
Talk about.......
a difficult task , there are many more designs that I love, but if I had to cut it down to ten these would likely be the watches that I'd go for ....... For non-manufacturer photos credit goes to the respective owners of the rights....
Great list...
Your list is probably the most "faithful" to what you were trying to say about iconic designs as some may have confused iconic for, say, iconoclastic where the latter is more about going against the grain... where it may be on its way to being a classic.....
As a newbie, I am quite surprised
at seeing so much Richard Mille here. Most of the others ´makers I would have expected or I can understand. What makes RM 'iconic'? Best Andreas
Donizetti, RM could be viewed as iconic
in the sense that his designs are completely his own. Unique. Groundbreaking, maybe. To me, 'iconic' would refer to long-established classic design that has had huge influence thoughout the watch market/world... (if a movie star, Marilyn Monroe. If a car,...
Just to add a couple
The Gruen Curvex Omega Seamaster. More than a few variations of this watch, but this is one of my favorites....
If we are talking iconic design...
... and not our favourite watches ... Mmmmm... even more interesting. So mine would be : - Patek Nautilus - Patek Calavatra - AP Royal oak - Lange 1 - Rolex Gmt Coke ( along with the submariner line ) - Rolex datejust - Rolex Daytona - Cartier santos - Bl...
Educate me on the Santos
The Santos just one of the present interpretations of the classic Tank Francaise, the prototype of which was worn by General Pershing. The Santos is much fatter than the original and not the iconic Cartier, IMHO
Not to be a sore but
The IWC pilot shouldn't have qualify based on design as the look of the watch was of military requirement. Many company offer the same model with the same look at the same era. For my humble opinion if were to choose a watch from IWC the portofino moonpha...
