Two simple independents

Jun 08, 2022,18:43 PM
 

I used to have several independent watches—some with particularly cool complications and finishings—but sadly I sold them all before the current craze (much to my financial misfortune). Perhaps because I miss having those pieces, over the past year, I have added two independents back to the collection. This time, they are both simple, time only pieces. They don’t whirl, have intersecting dials, or involve rare complications, but they’re still pretty nice and hopefully will be with me for a while!

No left vs right, left or right. No duplicates, no winner or loser, both different and a perfect couple. Kari is art, LF is classic. It is like chess and both maestros played fenomenale.

Two top examples of less is more

Simple is beautiful! Several years ago I thought my horology happiness was going be happen through movement complication such as perpetual calendar, etc…

But it was not the case! Today while I always enjoy complications, I mostly prefer and focus on time only watches for some reason! You have two superb specimens there!

Same here

I’m glad I’m not the only one! What made you change on your side?

On my side I think it’s a combination of two things as the collection grew and as I swap watch more often I care less about keeping a calendar running perfectly and I care more about the actual time portion of the movement. Today the most complicated watc... 

Neither black or AdM

The LF is actually a blue dial, but not the special edition with the black subdial. It’s a nice blue, and the dial has a very subtle texture. ...  

Simple, but high quality...

It's important to remember that you typically don't run into watches that meet this standard of quality, unless you're part of a watch enthusiast group. Simple watches, but very special too.

Time only, but...

Hardly "simple".
