Audemars Piguet: Jules Audemars Metropolis

A watch that doesn't get the airtime that it deserves. I was always a huge fan of the Jules Audemars line. The chrono, the Metropolis, amongst others. I love the design of the dial also, very unique numbers that just work beautifully. Thanks for reminding me of it! Imran

Vacheron Constantin: I find it very hard to not call this a perfect watch

Everything is perfect. The fonts, the selection of numerals and batons, the chrono dials perfectly centered at 3 and 9. The dial and bezel width ratio is perfect. The silver dial. Of course, the lugs. It looks great with every strap colour. It is an absolute masterpiece, and, probably fortunately, a

Glashütte Original: I love the 'long time' indicators, I find something philosophical in them....

We don't usually think of it in too much detail, but: 1. Seconds hands, 1 min/rotation 2. Minutes hands, 1 hr/rotation 3. Hour indicator, 12hrs/rotation 4. Month indicator, 28/29/30/31 days per 'rotation' or change in indication 5. Year indicator, 1 yr until change and finally.. 6. Leap Year indicat

Horological Meandering: Here is an alternate take.....

I have never heard of any of these ambassadors, and they will make no difference to whether I buy a timepiece or not (It might actually put me off!). But I am in my mid 40s now. Advertising of any kind won't work on me. I know what I like. When I was young, an 'expensive swiss timepiece' was somethi

Glashütte Original: This is a really classy watch.

I tried it on many years ago, and was close to buying it. Felt great on the wrist, nice and thin.

Rolex: The same here!

It went to Rolex, came back looking new, and I've kept it that way. On another note, I was annoyed with the servicing - I asked for the lugs not to be polished, but they did it unfortunately. No more sharp edged lugs I'm sure it was the AD that didn't pass on the specific message to Rolex.

Rolex: A classic

I wasn't 100% sure at the time if I was making a mistake buying this over the regular black bezel 16610, but I'm so glad I went with it (They were the same price at the time). Like mentioned above, I've swam in the ocean with it, used and abused it, and still stays strong. I won't be abusing it as m

Independents: There has never been a KV watch that I have NOT lusted after

As a fan of many types of japanese intricate artwork, the dials made in conjunction with Kitamura-san are the icing on the cake. It sums up the Kari aesthetic, and it 100% works for me. May he live to 150yrs old, and keep producing these masterpieces
