(1) F.P. Journe Chronographe Monopoussoir Rattrapante (2) Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Perpetual Calendar (3) Kari Voutilainen 28S

Three is already a sufficient number. And it seems the FP Journe wins all the votes for the moment. Best wishes Alkiro

Voutilainen Laurent Ferrier x Urwerk Montblanc

Just imagine...the craziness of Uhrwerk combined with the delicate beauty and finishing of LF. (!!!)

just look at the MB&F's (and the watchmakers behind some of those)

Arnold & Son Audemars Piguet H.Moser & Cie Jaquet Droz Konstantin Chaykin I seem to have a preference for red, as 4 of my 5 picks have red themes.

AP FPJ Montblanc PP UN I'm guessing that both the AP and FPJ pieces will each reach half a million. A foregone conclusion that the PP will be the top price. I think the Montblanc & UN pieces could be steals.

1) Kari 2) Tudor 3) Urwerk/Ferrier

thank you for posting this very interesting survey. All the Best, S

Like you, I'm really impatient to see what the LF/Urwerk partnership could create. Best wishes Alkiro

In order of descending visceral desire of ownership as an object to have on wrist and gaze at and play with: 1 PP- because the MR sound on a titanium case must be insane 2 FPJ- because of the dial and the homage and because its the only real piece unique ... 

Best wishes Alkiro

one is a better choice ;-) I think both the dial & the movement speaks out for itself! (though I think chronographs are redundant complication - purely personal opinion). Best, mahesh.,

Best wishes Alkiro

But probably Patek, without much doubt, still gonna take the crown again in terms of bidding results in this year's Only Watch.

Best wishes Alkiro

Totally agree with that especially with the brand new movement of FPJ instead of just changing colors on a pre-existing model! FPJ always throw tons of surprise on Only Watch

I find the dial layout very interesting and very well executed. For me the top piece. CC

I don't think anyone has selected these 5 yet!! I have always liked JD, I wish their dials were smaller, to match the elegant layouts that they have. The Blancpain just lookks very cool. And with the special font type used on the dial, I found the Moritz ... 

Regarding JD dial/case sizes, I'm fully agree with you. I would like to see smaller case sizes rather than the 43mm ones for instance. For such dressy timepieces, it's a little bit too big for me. Best wishes Alkiro

I know what I like in dials, I am a huge fan of Kari, GO (I know you agree with me a lot on this!!), and I've always been a huge fan of the JD dials. Lots of enamel/porcelain, clean dials... even up to 41mm I could live with. But 43mm for such a thin case... 

And I really love the Date Astrale in 39mm. Some could say it's made for women but I don't think so. Very classy and poetic for me. Best wishes Alkiro ...  

Both very unique indeed. The Astrale doesn't look feminine to me at all tbh!

Yes I'm fully agree with you about the Date Astrale. Best wishes Alkiro

But the Journe is just the top top top piece!! This will go for insane amount of money (along with the Patek)... but wow is is beautiful and orange The Kari is probably next, but then the Debethune interests me too... The Montblanc is a beautiful piece. T... 

That's cool you're the first one to select the De Bethune. Really creative and impressive timepiece I had the chance to see in real. Best wishes Alkiro

Its a table clock or wall or .....? So next question... whats the least favourite... Cheers Andrew

Regarding the one I like the least, well, I would say the Jacob & Co. it makes me think to a Transformer... 😁 Best wishes Alkiro ...  

Then Journe for its movement. The dial, like many other watches is trying too hard. The KV is poise, composure, class.

It is said to be sports... A sandwich dial, no decoration, with an exquisite and movement, as always. The spirit of he dial is a bit in contradiction with the rest of the watch. Contradiction, inconsistence, or just out of the beaten paths? Best, Nicolas

A Voutilainen with a 'Panerai' sandwich dial! I understand where you are coming from, but the contradiction is what makes it fun.

Too bad we keep missing meeting each other. Not by lack of trying on my part. Best. Take care. Z'

Of course, I would like to see it in real in order to confirm or not my first feeling about this element. About KV, its dial is may be a little bit too conventional when you compare it to what KV can offer. But, with a titanium case which signify a sporti... 

It introduces a new complication for the brand and maybe the most complex one. Fx

Dream Watches... 1. PP 2. FPJ 3. AP and then possible reality... 1. Montblanc 2. Blancpain 3. The Joker
