The winner is obviously....
Breguet, with Droz as runner up but that's just because of my lov of the dial.
Frank Muller would've done better to leave the crown off, they've tried to be clever and failed because a crown on both sides looks worse than no crowns
I had time to kill this morning... so I took pictures of outdoor clocks of well known brands ;-)
Unfortunately, all brands don\'t own an outdoor clock... at least in Geneva (JLC, PP, AP, RM, Cartier, Panerai...). Nevertheless, which one do you prefer (sorry for the bad quality of my shots)? Best wishes Alkiro ...
Alkiro, you are a star!! :-)
It was very good of you to take photos of all the clocks and post them here. Something different and a nice change. My choice would be between the Breguet and the creative and colourful Gubelin clock. Thank you for the post!
You're too kind, I'm blushing :-)
Like you, I really love the Breguet and both Gubelin. I would add the Breitling and GO too ;-) Many thanks for your comments. Best wishes Alkiro
What a very cool game......
.....for me, my order went: 1) Breguet 2) UN 3) GO 4) Montblanc
Thanks for the shots!
I can see you know your way around in Geneva! I had not realized there were so many of these. My favourites are the Glashütte and Breguet, but of course the Gübelin is a crazy piece too! Best, HGL
Many thanks HGL
Almost everyday, I walk rue du Rhône and I thought it was interesting to take shots of all these cool clocks. Ultimately, it wasn't so long to take shots of all of them (I don't know if I forgot one. That's the true question LOL). Best wishes Alkiro
Definitely a good idea!
I am often at the Eaux-Vives, but with a very small radius usually, I still don't know Geneva very well I must say. But its a gorgeous place for watch addicts for sure! Best, HGL
Thank you my friend ;-)
The Breguet seems to be the winning clock. It's really cool for sure. Best wishes Alkiro
Clearest are HUBLOT and MONTBLANC but...
I am also partial to this one..... It does the job. Regards, MTF ...
What a nice selection of clocks
and I am much in love with the one Breguet did. Thank you for sharing these pics, very interesting and I would never think that there were so many. GEO
Thanks a lot Geo
Well, I hope I don't forget one (not sure of that). I just regret that several brands don't own one. The compilation would have been more interesting Best wishes Alkiro
:) Very enticing....
it would take weeks to cross in to all the stores and explore. Thank you for sharing Alkiro1. Best Regards Edward
Thank you Edward.
Next challenge is to take indoor clocks. But, for this one, it should take one week as I'd be obliged to try so many watches each time Best wishes Alkiro
Very cool post and probably a lot of fun for you!
I think the Gubelins are hot stuff. GO is cool too.
Both Gubelin are very nice, cool and different for sure.
It was not so long to take those shots as I'm very fast with my scooter (and because all of those clocks are concentrated in the same Geneva area) ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
Yes Gübelin is not a watch brand but a Swiss multi-brand watch seller (among other luxury products such as jewellery) a little bit like Wempe for instance.
This famous house was founded in 1854 and owns several shops in the main Swiss cities. You can find several vintage watches under this name and few Patek Philippe have been sold with "Gübelin" written on their dial too. Best wishes Alkiro
My favorite complication.
Also least useful, but I still appreciate the complexity and the thought that goes into it.
The IWC sign made me chuckle. Automatic?
So wedded is IWC to the damn word "Automatic" that they reproduced it on a sign, not even a watch, that surely doesn't have an automatic movement. Great post, by the way. My favorite is the Breguet. A JLC reverso, with two different signs facing angled ri...
Thank you John
You're right, the writing "automatic" on the IWC dial is a little bit "too much" A JLC clock Reverso is a true good idea. I hope JLC will hear you. Best wishes Alkiro
The winner is obviously....
Breguet, with Droz as runner up but that's just because of my lov of the dial. Frank Muller would've done better to leave the crown off, they've tried to be clever and failed because a crown on both sides looks worse than no crowns
Agree with you about Breguet
Regarding Franck Muller, if you carefully look at my shot you'll have the answer about the two crowns. That's just because two clocks are back-to-back ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
yep
I know that, I saw the that it's two clocks back to back but it still gives the passerby the effect of a crown on both sides
Very cool!
Of all, it is the Breguet that is my favourite. Need to take a picture of its Viennese brother, when I'm in town next
It's almost a knock-out in favour of the Breguet.
Yes definitely take a shot of its brother to see the one which has the better Tourbillon Best wishes Alkiro
By far a better answer than mine ;-)
In our watch addiction, "emotional" must always surpass "rational". Best wishes Alkiro
So cool,
I must say the Journe and Glashutte clocks are my favorites from your set! Thanks for the pics, cheers, Filip
So cool, thank you ! Wow how neat would it be to have one of those in a game room... [nt]
And whoever etched graffiti on the Gobelin can die slow..
My pleasure :-)
Yes, one of them at the front door of a man cave should be very cool ;-) Best wishes Alkiro
I always snap a photo of these clocks too...
I recognize a lot of your clocks! Like the Breguet one is outside the store in Geneva. I like taking pictures of big clocks too and branded clocks too (especially the ones in airports), and thus I really enjoyed this post. Especially enjoyed recognizing s...
It's so fun to see these in Switzerland...
I only got 3 during my stay at Fairmont Montreu Palace. You have quite a nice collection there My favorite is that Breguet. Rgds Raymond No date! ...
He he, very cool collection you have there my friend (I love the Omega) ;-)
Did you see the ones into the Crissier restaurant kitchen when you were there? Best wishes Alkiro
Akiro, I Love This. Is There A Way For...
... You to have extra time for these types of shots every day. Thanks for sharing, these pix are killers. - Scott
Thank you Scott. Everyday I don't think so but few days why not :-)
Unfortunately, I think I took pictures of all of them. But do you have something special in mind? Best wishes Alkiro
Cool subject matter!
Now I'm wondering if anyone collects these, I mean a serious collector perhaps? Hhmmm.... Thanks forsharing the photos. Love them!
Wonderful Idea and Photos!
Alkiro, Thank you for the post! I really like the Journe and the Breguet! Cheers, Mike
