The UJ hour hand is very close to the KV one to be honest. The difference between the two is very small for me. I would be curious to know which one has been created first
Regarding the Akkrivia hands, I can't tell you if I like them or not. They're disconcerting 🤔
Best wishes

What are the nicest watch hands for you?
Hi all, After two topics based on the nicest rotors and lugs (links below), the time has come to talk about hands 👋... No! Watch hands 😁 Rotors: www.watchprosite.com / Lugs: www.watchprosite.com / If hands are almost essential to read the ...
Yes I am and... I love that 😈
Tsar hands are not so bad true. 7 in total like the deadly sins and the number of different guillochés 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
Exactly what makes this watch so truly unique ans super nice
and alarm Hope you'll bring it with you Cheers D
Many thanks 🙏
What would be your favourite hands? (You can select what you want in this thread or not it's free 😁). Best wishes Alkiro
Will you be surprised if I vote for...
- Laurent Ferrier assegai hands (thanks for the credit) - Voutilainen "pomme" hands which obviously are close to the Breguet ones but not identical at all neither in the shape nor in the color (2 tones white blue for the KV vs one tone blue for Breguet) B...
Not surprised at all my friend 😉
The LF hands are splendid and "close" to the leaf ones I love so much (typically the ones of the Moser Mayu for instance). They are both so sensual as I wrote. I'm less fan of the KV hands to be honest with you even if they have their own style which is p...
The Ferrier assegai hands are out of this world...
... followed in my view by the Breguet hands. The VC Mercator hands stand out as well, as do almost all sets of hands you featured. The most spectacular ones (Parmigiani) are the only ones I actually dislike 😬😔 It's a wonderful topic, Alkiro! Thanks for b...
Thank you for your kind words dear Henrik 🙏
The leaf Hentschel hands are really my taste. And when you know that they're blued I fall in love 😍 I'm with you about the Laurent Ferrier assegai hands. So gorgeous. Regarding Parmigiani Fleurier hands, I love them because they have an historical story a...
Very sharp. Truly impressive and... nice. I don't know if I would have preferred to see them in a unique colour or if it's better with two (probably too)
Thanks for your input. Best wishes Alkiro

Thanks a lot my friend for your kind comment
I don't know if you have the same feeling than me but the hands of your Blancpain make me think to a needle eye 😳 I don't know if that was the goal of Blancpain when they designed them. You know how much I love the snail "Mamma Mia" dial of your Breguet 😍...
Easy! ;-). Not pictured,
vintage late 1930 - early 1940's radium lumed sword hands and matching lumes. Hands and index most often go in tandem... Best Z'
I was waiting for a vintage hand lover 😉
You're right when you say that hands and indexes have to be consistent together if we want to obtain a great harmony. So true! Thank you Z Best wishes Alkiro
Great post my friend 🙏🏻. A lovely selection you have created 👌🏻 my fav will be the PSM and the DeBethune 🤗
Here a few of my other favorite ,,hands,, ...
Thanks my friend 🙏 Really? You love the De Bethune? Totally unexpected answer coming from you 😁
Very cool selection. To be honest with you, I thought to Urwerk but I didn't know if we could talk about hands 🤔 Like my AP Star Wheel, I think it's more satellites than hands. Anyway, that's interesting 😉 The CVDK hands could be a "Louis" style but I don...
Wiggly!
Prob not best way to describe it - but always like the alarm hand on my Poljot Though to have a weakness for dauphine ones too Cheers JML ...
Very cool my friend. I love your "wiggly" alarm hand. Perfect nickname. Well thought out for me 👍
Thanks for these lovely shots and timepieces. Best wishes Alkiro
Not that flash, but
the blue hands on my IWC Portugese still do it for me every time. So simple but perfect for the dial and applied numbers etc ...
On the VC Mercator
The hands should ideally be described as "dividers". Measuring the distance between two points on a chart is made easier with dividers. A technical drawing instrument used for inscribing circles and arcs and to measure distances. Mercator refers to a type...
Well VC logo is a Maltese cross.
Which represents Knights of St. John / Knights Hospitaller. Hehehehe conspiracy theory.
This one is easy for me
GS hands. I love the contrast of finishes and the thickness. ...
Dauphine and arrow hands. What more? They're so sharp and nice. And the contrast with the dial is amazing.
Thanks for your input my friend. Best wishes Alkiro
Hard to say as he doesn't use exactly the same hands and shape for all his creations
We'll call them "Finnish" hands together 😁 Best wishes Alkiro
Hum... A dream, came true
Hi Alkiro! I know, I'm repetitive, sorry... Here are the unique hands of my 349SPORT. But I'd like to mention also the three-dimensional hands used in many Chopard L.U.C references, as the Lunar One (picture below, taken from the internet). I find these s...
The hands of your 349SPORT could be named the "UFO" ones. They make me think to a space ship. Very cool and unique
Regarding the Chopard, I can't answer to your question but Melvyn could help you for sure. Best wishes Alkiro
So hard to choose a favourite...
And it depends so much on the watch. I definitely get weak kneed over the pomme hands on the Cartier 2396... At the same time the cathedral hands of the Montblanc 1858 Tachymeter are splendid, too... And at the same time I like the modernist appeal of the...
Great hand selections my friend. Your shot of the Montblanc is splendid. What a blue! 😳
I know that this Cartier Tortue haunts your dreams 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
