I love the morning light
It has a clear, fresh quality that's not seen the rest of the day. Some wrist shots taken in the morning:
The "The Best and the Brightest" - Free theme Wristscan is now open ...
Team, Photography comes from the Greek and means "drawing with light". Show to us your best watches and/or pictures, "drawing with light". Here are some watches and pictures that I like. 1) Amvox 2 DB9 on a foggy morning (picture that I took this morning)...
Wow, that's serious watch and serious pic!
Mine is..... Yup, have a great Friday and WE! Best, Ken ...
Heavy metal, Ken!
I\'m really liking the variety with the strap you have paired it with. Have a great weekend, Alex
I've heard of wine pairings before . . .
. . . but this is taking the concept to a different level. PS - hope to see all four some day soon!
Must be tricky deciding...
what to put on in the morning. I know you need to simplify your life Baron - so why don't you take a leaf from Einstein who had five identical suits so he didn't have to spend any important brain time thinking about what to wear in the morning. To that en...
Four Aces! Four Beauties! exquisite collection Joe! ...
... a gift for our eyes! Hagwe! Abel.
How about soft light, Nilo? . . .
. . . Dennison case Omega at sundown, almost two years ago. No processing whatsoever, not even cropping. Art ...
An epic picture ...
Earth, wind and fire. (I'm poetic today). Question: Is Denison or Dennison the case maker manufacturer? Cheers, Nilo
Dennison was a British case maker . . .
. . . that went out of business in the mid-'60s. Many post-war gold Omegas distributed in the UK were sold in Dennison (double 'nn'!) cases. Art ...
When Nilo announced the theme, the first watch I thought of entering . . .
. . . was one of yours. I knew you'd forgive me for lusting after your Longines, but it would've been bad form. ...
Lovely picture of lovely Omega dear Art! Soft light...
... sets the charming mood of this picture! Hagwe my friend! Abel.
It's been a quiet weekend so far, Alex . . .
. . . mostly spent at my folks place (nearby - only a 10 minute drive), and helping out around the house. Our weekend bank-the-8 session will be Sunday nite . . . that's when I get to have some playtime! Art
The play of light, on my watch and food in a Sushi bar...
you never know where the light will play. I was taken by the play on the watch and the yaki uni I was about to devour! Now I can enjoy the memory and share it with all of you. Have a great weekend and eat some fish if you have the opportunity. Best to all...
Had swordfish with yellow peppers, onions, and jalapeño last night . . .
. . . at my favorite joint, Tim, but didn't bring my camera along. :-( Let's see what happens this weekend . . .
Humm swordfish ...
Do you know that we don't have it here? Today we go to try a "very vegetarian" food: The place name is (translated) "The Pork House"!!! I hope that I don't bump into my cardiologist there. Cheers, Nilo
When you visit So Cal, the second order of business . . .
. . . will be swordfish with yellow peppers and onions at the Rainbow Bar and Grill.
Very cool ...
I love Amvox 2 watches and sushi. I had sushi two days back but the place was so dark that I don't know if I ate sushi or the finger of the lady that was serving those! Cheers, Nilo
Hi Ken. Just a little fire to the Uni and it really brings out the flavor,
could eat it everyday. The best is coming out of Monterey Bay right now. Tim
Not that easy.. Let me try some few.. ;))
Golf & green Cool water, Deep Sea & Cappucchino And here one of my all-time favs: Maori & Type XX: a ray of light Best & HAGWE, hs ...
LoLoL !.. Well, if I remember correctly, shot taken in Rome, in Café in front of Pantheon,..
.. so probably we had fish in the evening only.. ) Thx for your kind interest,! Best & HAGWE, hs
I had fish on the brain! Just having fun with all you fun people! This is a great place to
be. Great looking watches this week, as always. Tim
Some lovely composition Hs.
and three great watches that are a great window into your collection. Thoughtful and diverse.
Your pictures well show the play of light dear Hs!! all beautiful watches but...
... this Type XX is killing me! Hagwe my friend!! Abel
Ah, the Breguet and the mask! . . .
. . . a perfect composition for Nilo's theme. The eyes practically shine . . .
Thx for your kind looking, Art !.. :))
And Yes, although I had posted The Maori-Type XX shot quite a whole ago, I felt it matched the motto.. Best & HAGWE ! hs
All beauties, dear H,
Your Breguet, however, is in a league of its own. All the best, Alex
Here he comes ...
Nicolas, You don't play fair! First, the Montblanc that haunts my days, then a Freak and the list goes. Merci, Nilo
Indeed, blue often is the new black .. Often very attractive !.. :))
Opposite to Rolex & MB ( & some others) JLC hasn\'t really something to offer in their mainstream models. ( well, except Blue Reverso, Blue UT Geophysic and AFAIK, some few in the Super High Horology line) - But who knows what future will bring.. Cheers &...
That sounds exciting & promising at the same time !.. ;))
I somehow hope & expect that JLC will introduce some sort of another surprise, again in the late fall .. ) Best & HAGWE ! hs
I was at his very last concert ever, at the Hollywood Bowl in '91 . . .
. . . a month before he passed away. So many great ones have come and gone, and it's always said that we'll never see his (or her) like again. In Miles case, that sentiment rings completely true. Art
Ahh that Montblanc!! I has a feeling this one would came this week end! Love how those blue shades...
... play with light my friend! All great pictures, a delight to view! Hagwe my dear friend! Abel.
Your beauties give a new meaning to feeling blue, Nico!
Fantastic each and every one of them! Abrazo, hermano, Alex
Lovely Memovox ...
Took to me time (I didn't read the manual) to learn how to set the date. Über cool watch and shot. My army of judges will go to face a terrible task to pic the best pictures. Cheers, Nilo
One old picture of mine ...
Just to make you feel guilty. I need to retrieve mine from the dungeon and give to it more wrist time. Do you know that there is a Memovox black dialed on the making? I'm waiting for it. Cheers, Nilo ...
Beautiful!! You are awakening my desire with this picture Nilo!...
... Ahh how greedy I feel! Cheers! Abel,
Despite all the more expensive, and perhaps desirable, what's in my collection
this is my favorite. My first "Lange love"-Lange 1 in Yellow Gold. I'm very low on Gordon's. Is there anymore in the UK? For Amanico and Blomman. Rock on! No idea. This shot in particular shows the unique 'Champagne' dial. ...
Lange is ...
Chic. One day ... when I grow up ... I go to have one Lange. Cheers, Nilo
Here's a few...
I love this PAM and despite its size it always feels great on the wrist... and my other summer favourite... Cheers Andrew ...
This PAM is ...
Massive but beauty. I'm realizing that we must have one exaggerated watch on our collections. Cheers, Nilo
Ah, Corona! Remember my philosophy of life, Andrew? . . .
. . . "Drive German, eat Italian, and drink Mexican. You can't go wrong." ...
A couple in the light
Hi All Returning to a couple of previous shots of mine in the light It's always good to get to the coast HAGWE Cheers JML ...
Two colourful entries from my side
Love? Oh yes, extends to all my watches equally. Light? Here are two examples that show their colours with light: A complex and colourful dial: The GP Laureato Rattrapante/Fourdroyante: And this vintage GP alarm with yellow gold and bright colourful strap...
Contrasting moods
Great theme this week. Two entries for me. Always liked the contrast of the dark clothes and the creamy dial. This one is more on theme I think - all about the light. ...
Who can challenge your Longines collection? As always, perfectly wonderful line-up!
Hope to see you again in London!
Not sure if these are best and brightest
But I am choosing those I felt were having good natural light to bring out the best in them A shot I just took before dinner - my Cartier Tank Louis Cartier XL ultra thin. The light of the setting sun brings out the blued hands and warmth of the pink gold...
Not sure!!!
Robin, The just ... shine!!! The Cartier is tremendous chic and the Perpetual is gorgeous. The Tudor is beautiful and the red Reverso is amazing. A wonderful weekend to you and all PuristS. Cheers, Nilo
You know well how to play with light and make your watches shine my friend Robin!...
... great pictures and beautiful watches! Enjoy the week end my friend! Cheers! Abel.
The "best and the brightest" eh?
Here we go: Who's got a Geiger counter? Or a luminosity meter? Cazalea ...
Holy Macaroni, Mike!
I hope you were standing behind a lead curtain when you took that first shot!
The best and the brightest....
....not sure if; brightest or overexposed however the best I could think of. Cheers. Edward ...
A perfect theme !
beautiful pictures of your JLC. Nothing better than metal and gilt dial to excite the light! HAGWE Doug ...
Thanks Nilo
It's a primitive hermetic Doxa from The 30'. An interesting clamshell case.
Nilo: you open this week end W/S with a most important and striking beauty: your JLC!! ...
... and some awesome photographs as usual! Suspect we will be viewing some stunning photographs and watches this week! Cheers! Abel.
Here's it on the wrist
In the "magic light" as my professional photographer friend likes to call the 45mins prior to sunset here on the west coast.... Cheers, Tim ...
Our favorite watches invite us to play...
... with light! Here a few of my "drawings with light"! Have a nice week end Nilo and all our friends here at PuristS!! Abel ...
Amazing collection, Abel
The cherry, though, goes for the Jumbo! Buen fin de semana, Alejandro
I love the morning light
It has a clear, fresh quality that's not seen the rest of the day. Some wrist shots taken in the morning: ...
Depending on the time of year, there's a brief window . . .
. . . lasting no more than a few minutes when sunlight takes on a glow just before sundown. This shot was taken moments after . . . . . . that magical period began. There's no processing at all in this photo, taken with a point-and-shoot camera. Art ...
Dawn and dusk...
... are my favourite times of the day. But somehow, I seldom take watch photos in the evening.
Thanks
It is just a simple watch which I am lucky to get it brand new in the AD a few years ago. Probably, one of the last piece floating around.
My CPA acquired the same BP last year . . .
. . . and he couldn't be happier! This was his first 'real' watch, and he now he's ready for another. Watches are addicting. And, btw, I like your avatar. Art
It was my
20th anniversary gift being a CFP. Your CPA has been infected with the uber virus, unfortunately there is no cure for it.
Hardly a good photo...
But undoubtedly a great pairing, Chopard and a Negroni Cheers and happy weekend to all, Alejandro And why not, a 5513 and a beer in between ...
Negroni ...
Is always a good prop for watch pictures and a fine Chopard makes a perfect company. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you for yours kind words Nilo
perhaps Co-occurency matrix, certainly bougainvillea effect. Cheers, Nino
Never heard of Narragansett before until today . . .
. . . although I do recall this scene from Jaws . . . One-upsmanship . . . vividly.
Neither had I, Art...
I tried it at a pizza place in Portland, OR. Funny enough, the bartender also made reference to Jaws Hope you are enjoying some nice cold ones this weekend, All the best, Alex
Perfect shot ...
Damjan, This one exceeds all expectations! Wonderful shot. Cheers, Nilo
The picture was taken almost a year ago, Nico!
But it is still my first AP! Yours, Adam
