I've got the WG anniversary version and am happy to recommend it, with caveats

On the plus side [to me], I like dual times and GMTs, so this floats my boat. Then, it's got a nice heft to it.  About case, I'm fine with shape/non-round watches. And paired with the pictured strap -- its original brown 'gator remains unused -- it gets compliments from watch and non-watch enthusiasts alike (someone in a JLC boutique mistook it for a pt 1921).  Yet Harmony's not at all something often seen (well, because it wasn't a hit).

On the minus side, straps for this can't be bought off the shelf; they must be special-ordered [oem] or custom-made because the lug width is 23mm with curved bars (a factor contributing to Harmony's commercial non-success?).  Another minus [again, to me] is the winding feel can be bettered by, say, a Nomos Tangomat GMT (which was 1/8th the cost).  [Feel aside, mine has impressive results on a timing machine.]

Upside for you is, maybe the Harmony line can be snagged at a good discount off original SRP.  I've seen the exact version I have in a Hong Kong gray market dealer's window, NOS, and it's very likely still there.  A year ago a neighboring competitor had the [rather large] monopusher chrono Harmony, in excellent condition....

VC Harmony Dual Time

About two months ago I tried on this watch and now I am smitten. Do any of you own this watch? Thoughts? Opinions? I won’t buy one soon, but maybe later in the year. ...  

Prefer the chronograph

I generally prefer symmetrical dials so I find the differently sized subdials on the dual time to be less than perfect. But that’s just personal preference and it’s obviously a beautiful watch and well sized. I always admired the Harmony monopusher chrono... 

I don’t own it but I quite like it it is a bit eccentric and very different!

I wasn’t sure if they were still making those

I see! Happy hunting!

Thanks for the detailed, personal observations. That watch looks like it fits your wrist very well….

…that was my experience, the watch felt perfect, and it had a nice presence. Yes, it seems like prices are reasonable. I was aware of the strap dimensions and the challenge that offers. I guess that fits with the overall non-traditional vibe. Once again—g... 

Love it!

Cheers, Filip

11.43mm seems quite thick for such an elegant watch...

...but the case shape is lovely...

No kidding! Almost two months ago I had the same watch on my wrist

As I was on the lookout for a dress watch. I fell in love with it at first, but decided not to buy it after all because another watch (the Day Date) was higher on my wish list. But in al honesty when I tried this Harmony on I really loved it. So I complet...  

Thanks for the confirmation! It fit like ‘hand to glove” and made a huge impact on me.

Not sure it would be my go to dress watch, but it would certainly give me a lot of pleasure. Timing is not great for a purchase right now — but, maybe later in the year.
