Thanks everyone
Wow some great looking watches, wasn't expecting so many replies. Keep them coming.
Yes, yes, yes!!!
... too yummy to pass..... Btw, it was great meeting you again and your lady the other day Ken
Brilliant!
Is that the Pt version CL? Congrats on having one of my most desired piece! Stephen
Nah....This piece is not for you ;-P
Mine is WG as I'm not a believer of platinum being King ;-P If I have a choice I will pick YG or stainless steel, I find it very true and sincere. This watch doesn't hack too so it will not fit your criteria though. I almost bought your King in pink gold,...
Tell us, CL...
As one of the [probably] very few people to have owned both the 34mm and 37mm versions of the Simplicity: "which one, and why?". Cheers, pplater.
Hi Kevin... I have quite extensive wearing experience
with both 34mm version and 37mm version. My first love of Simplicity is the design with the rail in the middle of of the watch with a crown that seems oversize. It looks very classical and filled with a nice tension. It's the 34 mm version but I didn't kn...
I agree the 34mm
has a tension that is fantastic. I was driven by SteveG's photos, to order exactly what SteveG had. It was those photos which essentially rendered me 'insane'. I remember a sort of big Patek guy telling me about the Dufour, when Dufour was unknown... exce...
Agree with your points.....
I won't regret even if I didn't get the 34mm one. I like the 37mm very much too Both are EQUALLY nice and the winding experience is just simply superb, 2 watches I have tried have that same feeling. A Patek ref 96 and the Laurent Ferrier Tourbillon. *CL
For winding experience
try the RL PLM. Unsurpassed IMHO. But the Dufour is certainly extremely nice. Interestingly of the watches we have been discussing, the Observatoire is not as satisfying--too much resistance, especially as approaching full wind.
Hi Bart...I have wind the RL PLM before,
similar to the original PLM tourbillon, nothing special about it though. I wonder what exactly is the nice experience you are referring to, can you direct to me? I may have missed out something. Just so you know, I don't quite enjoy winding Dato as well. ...
Excellent observations CL
I have had the pleasure of spending a little time with a few Simplicities, and I have learned a lot from your post and experience.
Chronometre Royale
Both the "newer" wristwatch version: and the original, pocket watch version: Best Regards, Dan...
Aie, Aie, Aie... One of the very few colored gold watch ...
Which would make me do an exception to my white metal rule, and which I would happily welcome in my collection. And what to say about the Set??! Bravo! Nicolas.
I remember these!
You and your chronometer royales! Thanks for all the help last time! And that pocket watch is stunning! Cheers Stephen
Yes, for as much as I have enjoyed seeing his progression
This for me will remain his brilliant original and it is what got me hooked originally... Thanks for chiming in Gary! Cheers, Tim
PSM watches are. . . .
just beautiful! Thanks for sharing. . . .and maybe one day I will own one (I think I want a Shimoda in stainless steel).
Simple question, simple answer.
Simplicity. Others have already supplied all the pictures necessary to explain why... grumio

Voutilainen's Observatoire, without a doubt
Sorry, maybe not very original after Nicolas post, but I can't help it. Here's a relatively fresh picture. Best Ztirual...
Unique ,nonetheless!
As is every single Observatoire out there! COngrats and continue to wear it in the best of health! Stephen
Now this is the third (or fourth) Voutilanen. . .
on this thread and I still haven't tired of seeing them. I had no idea there were so many case-dial combinations. I love them all! Keep them coming!!!!!
One 3 hand, on that
hasn't had a 2nd hand made for it... Though the final version won't have a 2nd hand in the centre anyway, just a running type indicator ;-) Omega 30mm A2 with Bas & Lokes Strap...
My current fav in my collection
So simple, so pure and love the minute hand shape....
That is a beauty!
I recall having seen this before, mind you to recap me again? Pt? Remontage manuel? Above 40mm? Let me know! Merci beaucoup! Stephen
We must be speaking of the dial
judging from the responses. Really, way too many to choose from, but when given the choice I took this: as the model for this:...
love what you did:)
I think I'll have to snag a PEseux 260 and talk to Mr. Murphy as well! as always, thanks for sharing your unique piece Jason
Very tough question. There are so many great ones out there.
When there's only one choice. This will be THE favorite:...
We are truly not worthy!
KV Masterpiece #8!!! Now that's what I call a "nice 3-hand watch," Allen! Not only is it one of Kari's very few decimal repeaters, as you know extremely well it is the design progenitor (especially with regard to dial design) to Kari's landmark Observatoi...
Beautiful watch Allen!
I love the way the blued hands (all three of them) stand out on the face of that KV!

Mine as well . . .
. . . amongst the current crop of three-handed designs, along with Eterna's Spherodrive . . .
what pplater has and showed
is clearly my favorite. Of what is in my own watchbox, let me add another RL to the many that have already been shon. Great thread! Best Andreas...
Sorry I was late.
But wanted to see all the great watches first. But here's my favorite three hand watch, sorry for the picture quality....
