Apologies for starting this a little early..... This week's topic is "complications". What is your favourite complication? Minute repeater? Amagnetic? Central second hand? Automatic? Water-proof? GMT? World Time? Lume? No lume? Chronograph. Or maybe pure ...  

.. along these lines and your intro, dear Joe, I deliberated a bit: - is it a single complication ? ( actually I don't have any watch with high- end complication(s).. - a World Time or Geographic ? - well, to me more indication, than complication.. - moon...  

:) :)

You have so many complications in one - like a kinder egg! ;) Hour, Minute, Sub-second, Big date, Day-Night indication, Reverso, GMT, GMT indicator, 24 hour indicator, Power reserve..... Did I miss any? Great choice, my friend! :) HAGWE Blomman

And a Reverso, and a friendly complication. What's not to love? All the best, Nicolas

.. like this, life is so goot & sweet.. Our little drink together, " au bord de la Seine", in the deck chairs after a cool ride in your cabrio, also counts to those... To many more of these moments !! Thanks & Cheers, Best, hs

A special mention for the Sonata, which is an Alarm AND a GMT. HAGWE, All. Nicolas ...  

This why I never want to choose! ;) HAGWE, my friend Blomman

.. I can understand, that you can't decide for only one ! My humble personal picks, if allowed, would go for the JLC MR, the UN Sonata and the PP World Time - yet, as you can see .. - that way, I have not even touched the Rolex " Magic Bag" ! ;) But also ... 

While the JLC MMR is pure magic. The PP is a dream. And the Rolex GMTs are pure rapture. No, I can't choose between magic, dream, rapture and friendliness... No, I can't. No.. I don't want to. ;) Best, Nicolas

.. we understand you, and will dispense you from this cruel exercise.. - The judges will have their iwn problem ! ;) ;) Best, hs

I admire your collection, Nicolas!

.. i'll keep it simple :-) HAGWE !! Bim ...  

All the best for the weekend, my friend! :) HAGWE Blomman

.......i a a big fan of simplicity. I like complications when I "need" them, but that is so rarely the case...so yes....simplicity is a great take.

Four of my favorite complications: - Alarm - Diver (Waterproof) - Antimagnetic - Chronometer But the most difficult complication that both of these watches have: for me they are Grail's, Reserve de Patron, call it what you want... They form the core of wh...  

Be able to do the same with GP! ;) Best Blomman

But far from all.... Still working on this topic. ;) Best Blomman

HAGWE my dear friend D

I am currently working on the GP Summer menu..... ;) Best, dear friend Blomman

Have a great WE! Matt

HAGWE, my friend! Best Blomman

Love this answer....and your choices

If you ask this kind of questions.... ;) Best, my friend Blomman

This forum is in trouble......... We have Vlad AND Vader here among us!! ;) HAGWE Blomman

. . . conjure Karrées . . . . . . perpetually ;-) . . . ...  

. . . his usual resting place, he doesn't want to go back! The safe box in the bank must be a cold and dark place ;-) . . .

. . . you would understand ;-) . . .

.. these Karrés from GO are always revelations ! All the Best & HAGWE ! hs

. . . in the sunshine for a long time, h; back to the safe deposit box until his turn gets called again!

.....makes me want to grab some bags and head to the sea.....and of course contemplate which watch to take!!

. . . by the seashore . . . " :-)

I can't help getting lost in a tourbillon... Here's a few from the last couple of weeks... Sports watch...? An uncomplicated breakfast... Complicated but simple with jeans... Or one to dress up in... Cheers Andrew ...  

My favorite complications are the ones that are so clean you don't know they're there. This is doubly true of the Nomos Tangomat, probably the "cleanest" watch ever made. White faces and silver bezels It's actually hard to see the complication in the Nomo...  

......yes, i like that too....

Marcus ...  

Well, the draw is a bit nightmaresque, though... ;) Best, Nicolas?

Matt ...  

.. I guess I saw Chapter ring & PCG.. Greetings & HAGWE ! hs

Yes, this one is a bit like a full option one! PCG, CR, Gilt, SWISS, and exclamation point!...all original 1960! Matt

Launched in the late 40s/early 50s per Abercrombie & Fitch department store request and based on the Solunar theory, this Seafater made by Heuer offers a moon and tides cycles complication shown on the rotating disc on the left Definitely the ultimate...  

Nothing beats chrono for me. ...  

Hand wound and time only, clean and simple, classic silver dial... and a work of art inside... Best Regards Livius ...  

Lovely photos, Livius! I think this is the first time you have showed us the movement on the Minerva. Best Blomman

Thank You Blomman, your pictures isn't bad either... Never seen pictures of the cal. 48 before? Designed by André Frey in 1943, produced by Minerva from 1943 to about 1960, and again from 1995 to 2001. and a drawing signed by the Master... Best Regards Li...  

Thank you for these extra pics, Livius! It is a great looking movement! :) Best Blomman

... for a simple man Sorry to not sticking to this week thema ...  

.....and saw that....i would have trouble passing! Beautiful

... considering it comes with its full set, including box, papers, buckle and original elephant leather bracelet, all in especially good shape for a 61 years old watch ...  

... but with such a presence it's easy to forget that size ;)

I have been searching for years to find one like your.... Without luck! Stunning watch! Best Blomman

I found it without even searching for one ;)

simple yet useful. I like PR indicators, they are useful and give a dial something special. Here an example from my collection: GP Sea Hawk II "To John Harrison" Check out the fine pattern on the PR dial. HAGWE, CC ...  

How big is the old case Sea Hawk? HAGWE Blomman
