stealth timepiece....which one is your favourite ?!
By: mahesh : June 11th, 2020-05:57
i've been always intrigued by the notion that 'only' the wearer knows what it is and for the rest it is a normal timepiece ! in that sense i think there are few which are quite good stealth timepieces in my view... 1) 5101P is a killer...though it gives a...
Patek all the way! Oh, my… What a watch!

Admittedly, the other two have simpler faces, and may more obviously fit the "stealth" theme you suggest. (And, of course, as you allude to, the print on the Patek's dial rather gives away what is going on.) But still… (I'm turning this into a which watch...
in deed 5101P is a stellar timepiece !
By: mahesh : June 11th, 2020-07:07
not far I would say the Laurent Ferrier Galet Classic Tourbillon is a stealth too, very elegant & classic dial but doesn't give up more than that !! ...
Hidden beauty

I remember first being introduced to the idea of a stealthy timepiece as preferable to a 'showy' complication on this very site! I feel Patek embodies the idea of a timepiece being understated to all but the wearer. My favourite contemporary piece which e...
that is beautiful guilloche...true that !

i would consider the 'essence' of Eichi II is the dial...the main attraction, if so would it be still stealthy ?! i do think, it is very elegant and the minimalist of all - with those hand painted porcelian white dial ! thanks for the wrist shot. Best, ma...
Of course I have to choose the 5101P

Elegant and sleek design with a hidden tourbillion, 29mm in width. Could be worn anywhere, only a true purist would be able to recognize the masterpiece on your wrist.
What makes a stealth timepiece
By: Cookies : June 11th, 2020-08:18
Stealth is about evading detection. There are many ways to which this is achieved: Camouflage Small size Thinness Being signature-less Does not have an easily found price-tag Being from a brand people perceive as being "cheap" Looking old and crappy On my...

That indeed is a grail
By: mahesh : June 11th, 2020-10:17
I agree Fab, most will not recognize it - only a trained eye will appreciate it. Thanks for sharing the wonderful wrist shot !! Best, Mahesh.,
Oh my God!!!!

This Patek is a dream!!! My personal stealth watches: Moser Perpetual Purity IWC Minute Repeater: Moser Henry Double Hairspring: Cheers Thomas ...
Thank you dear mahesh! 🙏
By: MTR : June 12th, 2020-23:47
Your KILLING 5101P is starting to make my completely extinguished fire (I sold my 5146G without any hesitation to get my grail IWC MR!) blaze again for PP. Sincere thanks for that. All the best for you Thomas
Patek 3939 minute repeater - small, simple, sublime
By: Spartacus : June 11th, 2020-10:23
I must say I find it unnecessary and annoyingly distracting to see the the word tourbillon and especially the serial number on the dial. Who cares about the SN?! Images from Hodinkee and Sotheby's. ...
Totally agree
By: Spartacus : June 11th, 2020-10:32
In fact I was editing my post to express that thought while you were replying. Brilliant minds think alike.
Indeed! ;)

No message body
Gorgeous, classy
By: mahesh : June 11th, 2020-10:33
True it is...there is no need of anything to be printed on the sub-dial. Thanks for sharing ! Best, Mahesh.,
how good i'm - i was expecting this ;-)
By: mahesh : June 11th, 2020-11:35
personally though the PP PC a heavy weight champion in its own category...i thin the LF Tourbillon Enamel in steel is a serious stealth watch actually i post your LF (pic by nico) in one of the responses above. it is a marvellous piece. thanks for sharing...

Patek

Very beautiful and serious one.

By: mahesh : June 11th, 2020-23:09
in deed a great timepiece, but comparatively underrated in market probably due to the case i think.

It's difficult to fathom . . .
By: Dr No : June 11th, 2020-16:36
. . . a candidate more apt . . . . . . than the original Omega tourbillon cased in steel. Only one made. ;-) ...
that is a BIG BOY !
By: mahesh : June 11th, 2020-23:11
i love the dial and indeed a true stealth !! any idea why Omega didn't proceed with this model ? thank you for sharing the pictures. Best, mahesh.,
Omega produced a handful of 30I tourbillon movements . . .
By: Dr No : June 12th, 2020-08:22
. . . that were released to the general public. Most were cased in yellow gold or sterling silver; only one in a jumbo steel case. Can't remember off the top of my head how many were sold, but it's under twenty. Art
All three are great choices Mahesh
By: sham1 : June 11th, 2020-21:54
as they all hide their real self behind a discreet dial. I would choose the Gronefeld Remontoire Hodinkee from your selection because it is the only one that fits my wrist and also I consider the movement of Gronefeld one of the most spectacular looking m...
A marvellous topic, mahesh...
By: pplater : June 14th, 2020-00:23
...and, as a collecting 'theme', a personal favourite. The Patek and the LF tourbillons are both magnificent watches but you have to wonder why (however discreetly) the word 'tourbillon' has to appear on the dial. Is it a 'just in case' thing? From memory...
