. . . and I'm curious about the 2554 - are there two different watches pictured, perhaps in different metals? Admiringly, Art
Don't tell me you just got this one, my friend...
You know that I'm hunting this Platinum Cabaret with the black dial.
To make the perfect trio.
Well, I'm not unhappy with this beautiful 70eme:

It's very nice, but in this shot it's hard to see that it is oval.
Never seen the watch,
Geo
For this lovely piece.
The density of the platinum is perfect on watches of modest size.
It is surprising, but very pleasant to feel its density on the wrist between your hands.
Will have to wait, then...
Best, my friend.
Nicolas
Don't have an eye on the Gyro I, the Reveros Platinum tourbillon skeleton, the Duo Metre, and a few others, or you will dangerously fall in love, my friend.

. . . is difficult to explain, Geo. I think part of the reason is that round forms are subliminally expansive, so while I feel comfortable wearing my vintage round watches, there's a finite limit beyond which I feel a round watch is out of proportion with my wrist; by contrast, a rectangular form has boundaries that make it easier for the eye to absorb, so I don't feel nearly as uncomfortable wearing a nominally larger watch like my Karrees . . . cordially, Art

Show your rectangular,tonneau or square watches.
They may not be as well accepted as round watches but in certain periods they were very popular and gave birth to classics like the Cartier Tank and JLC Reverso.Would like to hear about other examples and variations on this theme.Lets show some of them off here and hopefully we'll see a wide range of shapes and sizes..
First up Lange Cabaret:
casual chic
Or formal attire

beautifully formed movements:
Thank you for looking

That's a particularly nice Reverso . . .

Did I miss something, Fernando?

Do you have more pics

More than pics, Géo
Yes, I just got it Nicolas.
Didn't know you have been hunting it. Maybe the next piece to come along? It's heavy though but exquisite.

More than the weight, I would rather speak of " Density ", Fernando

Nicholas, I need to tell you again that this is a fantastic piece
IMO, probably the best spokes piece for JLC.
At least, one of the nicest, indeed

Unfortunately, not mine
That was taken at the London GTG last year. What a great time it was!
Let me add these two utterly exquisite Reversos . . .
. . . to the list, Allen:
Ok, Nicolas, you can put your eyeballs back in their sockets now ;-) . . . cordially, Art

Very nice that grey dial, wow this is a superb topic

My predilection for rectangular watches . . .
