Sobriety and quiet, beautiful!!!

Excellent pieces, all of them; my special consideration for that beautiful Grande Reverso Calendar, I will get one soon, definitely…

Two questions:
1. Is it easy to read the time between 5:25 and 7:35 because of the moon phase/day disc?
2. I’m a little bit obsessive with time setting and this watch doesn’t have seconds hand. What do you think about the absence of the seconds hand in this Reverso?

Regards and congratulations.

The sky maybe starless. The night maybe moonless.

But deep in my heart there's a glow... I have worn this watch perhaps the eighth time today after having acquired it three months ago. Being the work-from-home type, I wear very casual clothes and jeans and those are not proper enough for this timepiece. ...  

A class act

What great taste. All different but all complimentary. The photos are outstanding. Thanks for sharing. Bill

Perhaps these are not the answers you are looking for but I'll try...

1) No, it is almost impossible to tell if it is 5:27 or 5:28. This bothers me a bit but not to the level where I find the inconvenience annoying or anything like that. 2) I thought nothing of the second hand being absent until the first day I wore it. I c...  

What a fantastic collection!

The Reverso being the king of the great trio. Congratulations!

Money and invesment is nothing when a watch brings you so much pleasure.

A beauty, my friend. You should try to wear it on casual moments. It works, too! Best, Nicolas.

But investment brings more watches still I hope. However, you are right...

...about the pleasure part. I hardly have any photograph of my watches together as I put nearly all my watches at the bank. This trio shot is probably a first for me. I should take more of these I think, just in case I miss my watches in storage. As for c... 

You're true, too. ;) [nt]

you've got it nicely covered....for now

but then again, there are 3 more empty slots.....those would be tempting to fill up.

SIHH 2013 is only a month away. I'm sure there will be models that attract me.

And in any case, I have said yes to a watch two days ago and will collect it from the AD tomorrow. Unfortunately, it is not a JLC this time round. Will find ways to share soon, nearer to Christmas ;) Ruckdee

Very old school dial layout...

Hi ruckdee, Nice piece you have there. I just thought its a very old school way of dial layout in that Reverso. As with most calendar watches, but this one fits in a rectangular dial. I am thinking without the date indicator and just the moon window, that... 

Your description reminds me of the Wempe limited edition.

Great watches, Ruckdee!

The Reverso really looks great! Only one objection - I would wear it to jeans and a T...! :) Best Blomman

Many thanks, blomman. Where have you been lately?

 
 By: Ruckdee : December 20th, 2012-06:58
Were you traveling because I didn't see you responding to the threads for a while? Good to see you and yes hello!!! Ruckdee

I have the feeling he was on some serious hunt, with some lovely game

In his bag.... Ho Ho Ho... Best, Nicolas

Have been working, traveling, more work...

Not much time for watches lately! :( Hope next year will be better! Best Blomman
