First of all apologies for the delay - something came up unfortunately. Irrespective, the WS for this weekend - โDress to impressโ - is now live. So watches that you would wear for special occasions, whatever these are for you are what I am looking forwar...
Patek? ๐ง

Hello dear friend KM: you share some great watches hereโฆ

โฆ which surely serve to dress and impress. Iโm specially fond of your signature VC timepiece. So unique and elegant design! Tough my personal preferences in watches are sport/tool types and usually dress sport/casual clothes I own a few timepieces which I...

So good to see your dressier collection of watches this weekend. All are absolutely gorgeous. Best regards Captain
Thanks Captain!
By: KMII : November 12th, 2022-11:36
The Cartier gets lots of everyday use as well but equally well doubles as something for more formal occasions ๐๐๐ป
+1!
By: jml_watches : November 13th, 2022-18:05
Ah, complicatedโฆ
By: KMII : November 13th, 2022-11:16
The strap appears to be attached with two screws on each side into the bottom of the case - making it one of the rare watches where I never change straps ๐๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
Give it a tryโฆ

My wrist is puny, too and it still works nicely ๐๐๐ป
Thank you!

My favourite version of this watch.
This one certainly isโฆ

A thoroughly impressive piece ๐๐ป๐๐ป Fantastic on the red strap, too ๐๐ป
Who needs a watchโฆ
By: KMII : November 12th, 2022-07:05
With a V12 to do the music ๐๐๐ป Two very nice, classic pieces there and still curious which V12 it is ๐ค๐ป
Impressive collection!
By: TeutonicCarFan : November 12th, 2022-13:46
Love the lugs on that 5172, very vc IMO. And that KV ๐ณ
Many thanks.
By: Timeout : November 12th, 2022-21:49
The Patek and VC CDV both feature signature lugs for dress chronographs - but very different approaches. The Patekโs stepped lugs add an Art Deco touch and the CDV - well thatโs something else. And the GMT-6 has the signature โtear dropโ KV lugs
And some moreโฆ

My only colored metal watch, hiding a true gem of a movement inside (the Zenith Cal. 135 adapted to central seconds in its Vostok 2809 iteration). I have worn this with black tie, albeit not on this strap ๐ And the Minerva Pythagore is always a contender ...
Agree!

A few finer moments in life โฆ

Hello dear KM and friends ! Simply the pleasure of enjoying the moment, that impresses me more than most things in lifeโฆ Casually impressive ? โฆ Impressive match ? โฆ They were impressed ;-)) โฆ Have a great weekend everyone ! Best regards Captain ...
Wow Captain!! Iโm deeply impressed!!
By: Subexplorer : November 12th, 2022-14:32
That Gold Submariner is a dream! Didnโt know you owned this gem. I love golden Subs, specially the earlier niple dials 1680/8 200 mts like yours. I own a later version which is very nice with its blue turned purple dial but it lacks the charm of your prev...

Generating pleasure for oneselfโฆ
By: KMII : November 13th, 2022-10:03
Should be the highest motto - in most cases no one else knows what youโre wearing anyway ๐ The choices you have made are sublime for that very purpose - bringing pleasure to the owner ๐๐ป
I completely agree โฆ
By: Cpt Scarlet : November 13th, 2022-13:35
and thank you for your kind words. I started collecting by choosing watches that gave me personal pleasure, something that I intended to continue doing. Trends come and go but if you really love a watch, a car or a woman none of it matters ๐
Glad you like the theme!
By: KMII : November 13th, 2022-10:11
And it seems to be one close to your heart and collection ๐ I fully agree with the thin and simple theme - close to my heart, too! And the specimen shown, be it the VC, Cartier or the others all fit so well ๐๐ป๐๐ป
Frankly, I'm the kind of guy that could wear . . .
By: Dr No : November 13th, 2022-08:27
. . . a Flightmaster . . . . . . on special occasions. I might even wear short pants. But if I had to pick out a dress watch from my collection by traditional standards, it would be the Genรจve. And no short pants. Tennis shoes, maybe. ;-) ...
Both fine choices ๐๐ป๐๐ป
By: KMII : November 13th, 2022-10:14
Youโd certainly get me with the Flightmaster and the Geneve is an impeccable choice for sure ๐๐ป๐๐ป๐๐ป
Nomos for me

That VC is exquisite
By: lm6 : November 13th, 2022-13:17
I go for one of the following, all depending on occasion, outfit and mood. The Lange 1 is a true all rounder when itโs time to dress up. The Saxonia for the more formal occasions (when not the pocket watch comes to play). But it works just as well with je...
Very interesting topic

Hello KM , I actually went back and read your writeup a second time as my first impression was that it was primarily to do with โ โ formal wear โ and associated watches. But then I realised it was actually talking about any occasion which one uses to dres...
Very cool

This a limited model?
Yes, 200.
By: aWtchslvr : November 13th, 2022-19:57
It was released in september 2021. I fpund one last christmas, during a family holidays at Paris, by pure chance. It was love at first sight.
Oh thatโs beautiful!
