Horological Meandering

Number 8 and...

 

Well, for Number 8 I'm going to skip the obvious choice of wearer at the risk of being wrong (but hey -- the downside is pretty minimal!)

- Thomas Prescher Triple Axis Toubillon

- Tim Jackson

- Love it because of its technical virtousity -- the visual aspects of some of Thomas' watches leave me a bit cold, but it's hard to argue with the execution of the complications

Number 19 is clearly a Vianney Halter Classic on the wrist of Horo (just kidding smile).  Dolly Cheong?  Yeah, I'm fishing...  I do like the Classic for its clear articulation of the Steampunk ethos (which other makers seem to be "inventing" these days with their Nemo and other future past offerings), great finishing, bold and crisp visual appearance.  A tiny bit smaller in diameter than I would like, but has otherwise really stood the test of time.

Number 21 appears to be a Haldimann H10 on the wrist of Beat Haldimann.  I admire it because it has all of the attributes of the H9 at the same price point, but without all of those annoying costs of production!

I'm guessing that #24 is the Dornblueth Regulator on the wrist of Jocke -- I really like this watch because it "jumps" visually with its very clear design, and I also happen to like the matching black/red strap.  I like the photo because it is as far from Jocke's great photos as one can get!

I'll leave the rest of the guessing to others!  Great thread idea, Don!

Best,

Gary G

BaselWorld Guessing Game A little pass time for you, a wrist shot guessing game. Your task; 1) pick one of the 24 pictures below 2) write a reply to this post including the following information: - number of the picture - name of the watch - name of the p...  

Nr 1

 
By: sidneyc : March 10th, 2012-15:33
Let me start with Watch Nr 1 (probably the easiest since I don't know much better than that...) Watch Nr 1 Mr Laurent Ferrier The Laurent Ferrier Galet Tourbillon I like this watch because... who would say no to this?!?! Gorgeous dial, gorgeous movement d... 

Number 9 (MB&F)

 
By: Vinontre : March 10th, 2012-16:11
Just had to take a guess on the most obvious one for me (besides the LF #1)... Number 9 MB&F HM3 Starcruiser Maximillian Busser Love the HM3 for its innovative structure and time display... but love the HM3 Chocolate Frog even more! Fun Game! C I'm very c... 

No. 11 Hi Don. It's been a while since I've posted but couldn't resist the challenge

Daniels' Anniversary Watch Worn by Roger Smith What do I like about the watch - nothing less than historic, magnificently finished, hand made in the true sense of the word. A testament to Sir George. Mitch

Whoever is wearing #11...

 
By: pplater : March 10th, 2012-17:16
...had better not wear it around here, Mitch. We no longer have capital punishment on the statute books, so it would be well worth the risk of hacking his arm from his body and prising the watch from his cold dead wrist. Cheers, pplater.

I agree that it is THE watch but.....

 
By: Mitch K : March 10th, 2012-23:19
if I am correct and it is being worn by Roger Smith, it would not be a good idea to hack off the wrist of the gentleman who is to produce this series. i have a personal interest in making sure that all parts of Roger's body remain solidly intact for many ...

Close, close, far, right on!

nr 8 - The watch is a Prescher 3-axis tourbillon, correct - I guess who is wearing it is too obvious, another try? But as a hint, Tim Jackson is in one of the other pictures. nr 19 - of course that is a Halter Classic, but who is wearing it? Who might be ... 

Well seen Marcus, correct [nt]

By: JMan : March 10th, 2012-22:35
Is the Ochs und Junior Due Ore Tinta. I am guessing it's on the creator's wrist - Mr. Oechslinhimself? I love the simplicity in mechanism design, the design philosophy of not "finishing" the case, and youthfulness I the design. J. This message has been ed... 

Watch correct!

The wearer is not, but well known here on the site. Keep on guessing! Don

Nr 12 is....

Vincent Calabrese's Regulus Flying Tourbillion on his wrist? I don't know too much abt the watch but it is unique in its design oath flying Tourbillon. J. This message has been edited by JMan on 2012-03-10 22:43:43

No. 21 is easy, Don...

 
By: pplater : March 11th, 2012-01:32
It's the Vyskocil, at last! Was it promised for Baselworld this year? Last year? The year before? The wrist is a photoshop composite of the wrists of all the subscribers... Cheers, pplater.

No 7 is the Jutzi Regulator

 
By: expwmbat : March 11th, 2012-06:51
Almost the same style as the Jutzi for Goldpfeil, except that the arrows now lack tails, and it has Jutzi's name under the moon phase. Is it on Jutzi's wrist? I have no idea. Cheers, Daniel

No 18

 
By: 4Js : March 11th, 2012-07:59
This I think s Tim Jackson with his Lang & Heyne Johann. Very nice watch and very nice guy! Joe

No. 15 has to be Sarpaneva's new baby

 
By: ling5hk : March 11th, 2012-09:07
Korona K0 - first diver watch by indie. Is it on the watchmaker's own wrist? I like the watch as it is not a conventional diver watch - with rotating bazel integrated with the dial. I am not sure whether this is the first. Regards Ling

"First diver watch by an Indie"???...

 
By: pplater : March 14th, 2012-08:03
That's a big statement, ling - one that Pita, with his Oceana, might think a little unkind! Cheers, pplater.

Pplater, I think you are right!

 
By: ling5hk : March 14th, 2012-23:16
Oceana appears to be earlier than Korona K0. Any info on the date of release of Oceana? Regards Ling

You also have the vexed issue...

 
By: pplater : March 15th, 2012-03:40
...of "what is an Indie?". There have been other dive watches by watchmakers or brands who would perhaps be seen as "Indie". Consider Jean Richard's Diverscope; Bathys watches; Linde Werdelin; Richard Mille's RM028 and RM032; Clerc Hydroscaph; others perh... 

Nr2 is a GF prototype, and who is wearing it? [nt]

I'd love to see the entire shirt. Very bold indeed! Looks like leather too. Cheers, Anthony...

Number 23 . . .
