A couple of simple watches

Jul 16, 2015,16:11 PM
 

Hi All


Just a few simple watches - all with dates














All look great. You could also possibly include some alarm watches - as while the watches might not be that simple a number of their dials are. 


Cheers

Ken . I took my Sinn for a photography session to the park early in the morning, and the lily being a "diurnal" did not have chance to open for the day yet. Of course it did not bother my photogenic 657:) Best regards Edward

Thank you for your kind words....

hs111. I love to take my Sinn for walks and photograph it with nature in the background. Cheers Edward

Thank you, Dave G.....

 
 By: watercolors : July 18th, 2015-01:47

Simply Devine

A better 3-hand dress watch, I would be hard pressed to find.. and one of my most favourite photos I have ever taken. Great theme, and looking forward to seeing other submissions! Best, Colton ...

What a very nice diversity

 
 By: Mark in Paris : July 16th, 2015-10:33
and it is the illustration watches don't have to pe complicated to be beautiful. Great theme Ken. For me it is the RM035 as the movement has been reduced to the minimum (plus a second hand). Have a great week-end everyone Cheers, Mark ...  

Ahhh the RM!

 
 By: colton_d : July 16th, 2015-13:42

Thanks Rob, the watch is a Tank Cintrée and the bracelet is the Cartier Menotte. You can find two pictures of the bracelet here in the Cartier forum; GEO

Geo!

 
 By: peregrino : July 16th, 2015-13:01
Thank You for the information! Most beautiful Cartier I have ever seen! I really love simple two handed watches, being an owner of a JLC MUT 34mm. The bracelet is, in my eyes, a rare design that perfectly blends simplicity, fragility and force! Best, Rob.... 

My favorite Cartier! Thanks for the kind thought, Geo.

This is an adorable watch Geo! Epitomizes the words "simple" and "elegance"...

 
 By: Subexplorer : July 17th, 2015-08:16

can you tell me what reference this is Park? Congratulations if it's yours. Cheers, Mark

5107P

 
 By: Park : July 16th, 2015-12:59
Mark, Thank you. It is a 5107P, a reference that appeared in Patek's catalogs in 2004-2005 and 2005-2006. I'm told it was pretty much sold out by November 2006. It is 37 mm, automatic, with a matte black dial. I feel fortunate to have found one. Park

Thank for all the details

 
 By: Mark in Paris : July 16th, 2015-13:59
It is perfect in 37mm and looks beautiful. Sometimes I'm afraid older references may be too small. Enjoy it! Cheers, Mark

Oh, yes. Quire right!

 
 By: KIH : July 16th, 2015-14:29
.. the angle makes is even better. Very nice dial. Ken

Thank you, Ken

 
 By: Park : July 16th, 2015-19:27
Limited to point and shoot amateurism, I haven't been able to get a frontal shot of the dial without heavy reflections. Park

Park, you have excellent taste

 By: crown comfort : July 17th, 2015-00:30
are often the most beautiful. Most of my vintage GPs are time-only, "simple" watches. So I simply love them. Let me contribute 3 simple GPs that have a twist: Fancy faceted bezel together with a simple time-only, choc dial: Brushed blue dial with 2 hands ...  

Honestly.... my favorite brand and very nice trio....

Dear Ken, looking at the resonance your "Simple" thread recieved until now, it is evident there are a lot of simplicity loving people browsing this site. Whereas "simple" may be used in the sense of dull or plain, I prefer to interpret it in the meaning o...

Thank you, Nicolas, for your compliment!

It is particularly valuable as it is from a great collector like you! And you are right that it took a few years to add some very nice timepieces and to part with some less impressive ones. My best regards anaesdoc
