Horological Meandering

I was invited to take some pictures of a few watches and among them, a revelation, a Gubelin. A superb case, whose dimensions are perfect for my wrist, and whose lugs make me think to some divine creations from Vacheron and Jaeger. The dial, the true soul...  

Then it would have been a total disaster (talking from experience ;-) Cheers Andrew

When taking the battery out to charge it... I put the loaded battery, and took some pictures several days after... At the end of 6 pictures, a signal came: " Memory Card overloaded "... It was the internal card of the camera, which is selected by default.... 

excuse to pass on my friend......LoL

handsome lugs Pure marvel aged to perfection Cheers D

i dont know what it is, but i'm so used to seeing military dials in pretty plain cases that despite the beautiful lugs they look odd together as if the lugs are earlier than the dial. i'm sure you know what i mean by this. 30's style lugs and 40's style d... 

I am a sucker for this kind of combination... Another example: I would love to see this dial with more conventional lugs, too. I am totally biased. As for the movemenr, thanks for your support! :) :) :) Best, my frend. Nicolas. ...

Gubelin seem to have made some fine watches in the mid century period. They used some good movements too, Felsa, AS Schild, as well eternamatics, which they rebranded as gubelinmatics or ipsomatics. A lot of the cases and dials seem to aged well, suggesti... 

I remember their version of the Memo Parking, too... Thanks for your valuable input. Best, Nicolas.
