Perhaps It Is Time For...
... Another "What Makes The Watch Collector Tick" post. But this time we'll do a deeper dive on a few selected pieces and post it for our crew over here at The Watch Pro Site. You game?

Pick 2, any 2
Elliot55 just posted a fantastic article about watch servicing. 3rd picture in was this (with credit to ABlogToWatch). So my Saturday game for you is... What two watches would you choose if these were your choices? Money, of course, being no object... ...
First one is easy: JLC Spherotourbillon
Struggling with the second choice: Roger Smith, Journe Resonance, L1 MP.... Probably the Roger Smith. Held one once. It was amazing. A few pieces I can’t make out so I couldn’t give them full consideration. Cheers, John
I have a major soft spot for the MIH but
with this much heavy weaponry on the table I couldn't do it. For balance however it would make a lot of sense.
I could be wrong but it sure looks like one.
It does look a little small though. But the dial, cut-out is unmistakable I think.
I'm Going With The...
... JLC Spheroturbillon and the Thomas Prescher Tourbillon on a Stick.
A Totally Unreal...
... Timepiece. When you see it in the real, it is hard to wrap your mind around.
The Parmigiani, for one. The Daniels, for two. And, . . .
. . . Mitch will be rolling on the floor laughing his head off when he sees my number one. I'll let him explain ;-) . . .
Hi Art, where’s the Daniels?
Looks like a Roger Smith in the bottom right, is there a Daniels somewhere in there, too? Or is that a Daniels? NickO
Well, technically, it's a Roger Smith, Nick, but . . .
. . . for all intents and purposes, it's a Daniels. I'll let Mitch explain. Best, Art

Forgot to make my own picks
I'd be happy with either piece from the Irish brothers(I'll take one, you guys fight over the other), and incredible this incredible PSM ...
It is a real gem. For fun - do you know who deigned this piece? It is a prototype that was never commercialized by PSM. But who is the watchmaker who designed this movement?
This movement is a jump hour that allows the watch to be set forwards or backwards without a problem.
I knew Tim would come through
He told me it was Stephen McDonnell. Apparently Peter gave him the idea and Stephen made it by hand, old school. No CAD. Now I'm even more impressed.
MIH + FPJ
I like them all, but these two are the ones I would probably wear the most. The McGonigle Tuscar could be an option too, I like it very much. Vte
Under the Sonata is the UN Tourbillion Manufacture - a skeleton tourb with a manufactured tourb produced from silicium.
The rectangular watch that I think you are calling a Chronoswiss on the right of the picture is n early UN Michelangelo. To the right of that one are the two McGonigles that I spoke about above.
with a lot of humbleness I would take RW Smith Daniels' anniv & the FP Journe Resonance...
i wouldn't miss a beat, if there was a chance ;-) Best, mahesh.,
Wow - that's some heavy metal!
Think the 2 I'd go for are the MIH & R W Smith. Cheers JML
All. The RS is not in the picture. The Daniels was designed by Roger and George but it was executed by Roger's shop. I know George saw working models of the Anniversary
piece and I would love to believe that he saw mine but I do not think so. Bottom line, the watch is considered a Daniels as much as the millennium series by George is considered a Daniels even though Roger made the watches. Cheers
The original Tuscar
Though the taste isn't for everyone, I would have ordered one if the watch was smaller.
