They're my overall favorite....
Simply because that is a significant component of what makes them stand out/unique.... But with that said, the Reverso still 'rules them all' in that category in my heavily biased perspective 
Recent shaped watches
Shaped watches seem to be all the rage : here are nine recent examples , all produced between 2024 and today . Do you like shaped watches? Best, Emmanuel 2025 CARTIER TANK A GUICHETS WATCH ref. WGTA0234 Case: 24.8mm width x 37.6mm length x 6mm thickness -...
Ha, yes, I could (should?) have tried to include it.
But making the montage with 9 watches was already a challenge ! Best, Emmanuel
The ones I have 😀
Like for example a santos, Ionica, digiteur, maybe 1-2 others I like them otherwise I wouldn’t have bought them…. But I prefer round watches all the time

Another fantastic post and yes, I love shaped pieces too!
These pieces are wonderful, and I particularly like the Niton Prima! As someone who enjoys straps and seeing unusually cool ones embracing fine timepieces, shaped watches, I feel (much like eccentric straps, be material, colour, etc) just adds that finess...
Finesse and flamboyance: very well said!
Thank you so much for your kind words. Best, Emmanuel
ABSOLUTELY DO!!! As long as the manufacturer / watchmaker has the movement fill the case.
Cheapening it by using just an 'off-the-shelf' round movement is lazy... and being cheap. Unless it is a cheap $500 to $1000 fun watch, then sure. Maybe a rare exceptions, but we've seen how some brands don't seem to try much nowadays. Thankfully, with co...
I agree with you that a shaped movement is a condition
for a shaped watch to be 100% appealing. Best, Emmanuel
A great selection & always nice to get off the beaten track.
Though I'm less convinced by the Cubitus than the others. Cheers JML
I agree that the Cubitus might not be the most attractive.
Still, I find it nice that Patek introduced an unusual shape in the world of integrated sports watches. Best, Emmanuel
My feeling is that making a square watch was a bold and courageous choice
as this shape is generally unloved. But, to make it less risky, they decided to stick to the highly successful Nautilus design: therefore, the result is a bit confusing. It's both new, bold, innovative and a kind of replica of the Nautlius. That said, on ...
I do like some shaped watches but definitely not all.
From your selection I like 3 of them. 1) Cartier Tank a Guichets. 2) Voutilainen KV 21 Tonneau. 3) Niton Prima. Also out of your selection there is one I absolutely hate with it being the Raymond Weil Toccata Heritage as sorry but to me it shows no imagin...
My selection would be close to yours.
I would just rank Voutilainen no. 1. And I agree concerning the RW Toccata, even if I would be a little less severe. But indeed creativity is poor here. Best, Emmanuel
I do
Niton here, Nautilus ( i think qualifies ). I never even tried other shapes on my wrist, have to try new things in life, right?
Me? Shaped watches? Nah…
On the other hand… Hmmm…this goes with the Eterna photo. Can’t seem to move it in the app… I am excluding anything with a round dial, of course. Gotta narrow it down somehow. There may be others —Rick ...
