. . . let's see the candidates for cult classic in your collections. The Dornblüth ticks quite a few boxes externally . . . . . . but their movements . . . . . . are a mark of distinction. The humble integrity of the micro-manufacturer will prove to be th...

To the light balance ...  

. . . an easy call! SeaDwellers from any era are vintage classics now, so current models should also be classified as future vintage classics. Art

Great shots, too 👏🏻👍🏻

. . . but only Max created a future classic that can read the present!

Max and Friends create it, others may only dream about it. I'll gladly follow Max down whatever timekeeping 'Rabbit Hole' he ventures into.

that I’d like to think could be future classics - but realistically only one that I believe will end up so. Already not available from Moser as demand has completely outstripped ability to supply! ...  

Absolutely beautiful

. . . is already a classic! Guaranteed future vintage . . .

Definitely the right piece at the right time 👏🏻👌🏻

Both iconic for the brands Enter text ...  

Superb watches !

. . . turns out to be a vintage guy, the Urwerk would be his grail. ...  

And fortunately you bagged both while they were still reasonably easily available 👌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻

And I think their 1941 Remontoire is a future classic, especially with all the dial variations they offered, whether plain or guilloche. And the wonderful movement of course! ...  

This watch is right in the “sweet spot” for being considered a classic. Enough of them made to get brand and model recognition, but not so ubiquitous that they are mainstream. I think of it as a classic already - can’t believe I didn’t jump on this until ... 

That might be very hard to source nowadays 👌🏻👍🏻

As an important contributor to the American watchmaking scene in my opinion. ...  

Surly a future classic.

. . . over who made the better 'California' dial.

Epic!

and my Patek 5235G hopefully... have a great weekend everyone! ...  

If for nothing else for it’s innovative design 👏🏻👍🏻

. . . on account of its bi-level dial script, a design choice which seems to be proliferating. Dornblüth dials can be specified . . . . . . with sunken markers and dial script. A bit difficult to make out in this photo, but all the script and markers are ...  

Very nice theme, like to play. Some of the classics of the future, crystal balling and time traveling all at once - and my thinking as to why: 1/ VC CdV because of his beauty as “reasonably sized” manual wind chrono: 2/ VC Traditionelle Traditionelle “Art...  

. . . all future vintage killers, especially the Cornes de Vache, which is already a classic. Art

Dear count, Full agreement - was unsure at beginning but the SD43 had been growing on me. The red detailing is charming and reminiscent of past reds … and the slightly bigger size makes it more of a tool and less dress-y IMHO Best, Jerome

That will most likely become classics in their own right, and the Traditionelle, which is one of those modern designs likely to become future classics 👌🏻👏🏻

Two more pictures ! J ...  

...  

A future classic !

😉 ...  

That's a great shot !

… a winning shot here!! Hagwe! Abel

. . . an instant classic. 😇

this one has some chance at becoming a future classic. Ultimately it's all in the eye of the beholder ... 🤷‍♂️ ...  

. . . at 12:50.

Such an interesting, innovative approach 👌🏻👏🏻

3706 Fliegerchronograph one of the last true tool pilot made by IWC. Hopefully would fit the theme! ...  

Good call for our theme this weekend !

I’d like one, especially such a nice example! 👍

. . . so there's a better than good chance yours will end up as a future vintage classic. Art

...  

… already is a vintage classic today! Enjoy it so much! Cheers! Abel

Beautiful 🤩

. . . when it's already a current vintage classic?

Got to post a wrist shot while I am still in a honeymoon

...  

I like your photo composition, well played !

Hope you are enjoying a great weekend.

… and leaves me no choice 😎 The 2005 Blancpain Flyback Split Second A’Toute Vitesse, reference 2086FA-1130, will likely stand the test of time and become a true classic. Cult status may very well be already established, at least for me 😉 Cheers Henrik ...  

A superb timepiece! It’s an strong candidate to became a classic!! Hagwe! Abel

And a very cool choice of watch for our theme this weekend.

Outstanding 👏👏

And certainly one of the highlights of your collection 👌🏻👏🏻 The only thing I was thinking might prevent a classic status is that at 12 pieces it might have been too limited for a wider appreciation 🤷🏻‍♂️ Making it no less spectacular a piece for that 👍🏻 ... 

Some which I believe could make it as well... Rolex Sky Dweller. The brand has many cult classics in its Daytona, Sub, Sea Dweller, GMTM, etc.....the Sky D as the first annual calendar cannot be overlooked. Breguet La Tradition - going by the popularity s...  

And you add some wonderful additional candidates to become classics!! Great choices my friend!! Hagwe! Abel

. . . is going to be a future classic, too. Just not as well preserved. 🙄 ...  

I’ve just spilt my tea 😳

The Rolex Sky Dweller and Urwerk 103 must surely be future classics.

All worthy contenders, most have arrived already 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Here my choices for future classics vintage in 20/30 years in the future : Omega presently offers many watches which could be candidates to became classic vintage. For example any of the watches belonging to the 2017 Omega Trilogy like the Speedmaster 195...  

Glad you like my choices! Have a great weekend you too my friend! Cheers! Abel

Omega is doing the right stuff and having a strong run. The Trilogy pieces and the Moonshine are truly special my friend! 🥂🥂

… and agree is making a great job. Let’s keep enjoying our watches!! Cheers! Abel

The Moonshine is already becoming a sought after future classic. I had an interesting conversation with a respected “expert” that without prompting said the same thing last week. Your Breguet looks very good in your photos. Have a great weekend dear frien... 

Glad to know an expert thinks the same around the Moonshine! Guess this watch is a most collectible watch indeed. Nice to know you like the Breguet. A fascinating watch I feel. Hagwe dear friend! Abel

Have a great weekend 🥂

That 7027 really sings to me and is - even if based on historical precedent - a truly fresh piece at the same time 👌🏻🙌🏻👏🏻

Agree with you about the 7027. I’m honeymooning with it! So lovely piece I feel! Cheers! Abel

... Haunting my horological soul. It seems that the stars aligned to make possible its arrival to my collection. Have a nice week ahead my friend! Cheers!

. . . submitted this week. And the 60th anniversary models from Omega will, I think, in the fullness of time be viewed as a turning point of sorts for the brand in bringing back homages as faithful as possible to their forbears. Hope you're having a relax... 

Also agree with your point on Omega superb homages to models of the past. I’m glad to read you are enjoying a relaxed Sunday!! Best cordial regards to you!! Cheers! Abel

We share the love for Breguet as well! Another coincidence my dear friend! Hagwe! Abel

.. week to week I’m always looking forward to your choices, comments and your own examples ! - A real pleasure my dear friend and again have a very good week !! Best, hs

...  

… I can, as always return the compliment with your wonderful choices too! 🍻

. . . but the appeal will linger forever. 👑

Nice shot!

Keep enjoying it !

…and until now failed to do it justice. Glad you like the shots! 😊🙏

Finally managed to change the rather boring dark brown strap. 😆 ...  

Well played! Hagwe! Abel

Great choice 👌🏻👍🏻

Feels like a new watch again. 😆

Colour shemes were and will always be a criterion for classics, past or future. Glued on my wrist since the day I got it. Cordially Moritz Wow ... look at that tan! 😎 ...  

. . . would approve! ...  

and this watch has all the hallmarks of that principle. I think this is a great wrist shot. Well played dear friend !

But I should use its 80 h power reserve and wear the others also in rotation 😊. Have a good Sunday, dear friend.

The watch, strap and shirt combo is perfect. Keep enjoying it and enjoy life to the full my dear friend 🥂

Great combination indeed 👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

Hello Art and friends ! Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Future classics, quite possibly … Cartier will surely have a place in future collections... Omega CK 859 has all the hallmarks … Habring already have a place in my heart … Finally, Moser shines …...  

With its blue hands, one of the best looking IMO!

The Cartier has a steel case and gold bezel 🤩

I’m with you that this four superb watches are strong candidates to become classic vintage! The Santos is truly awesome! Keep enjoying them so much! Hagwe Abel

…and love the touch of that cherry 🍒 with the Habring2 Lovely 👌

Hope you have had a great weekend.

The Moser, Omega and Cartier are undoubted - as for the Habring, classics for many of us here, and stealthy at the same time to the outside world 🥷🏻 🙌🏻👍🏻

Stealthy is good 👍

I guess my so called taste works against me here 😂 Let’s see if anything could come remotely close… The 1972 will always be an acquired taste but they may rise in popularity eventually, in a very limited way 😉 And then there’s my first, the LUC Chrono One...  

While it has always been a grail for me a part of the production was destroyed as they couldn’t get them out at anything resembling reasonable pricing 🤷🏻‍♂️

Been a while but if I recall correctly M€300 or so worth. Times have changed somewhat since…

And the Chopard chrono has all the potential to became a classic too. Keep enjoying and loving them so much!! Cheers! Abel

Irrespective of whether they ever become popular or not on a broader basis 👍🏻

The way to go I feel! Cheers!!

All do it for me but still did not make the piece popular when it was available - let’s see if that changes now 😊👍🏻

Wowza! 👏👏

MIH low key, unobtrusive charm Pretty cool stuff For me a modern Classic with Vintage potential - JLC Geophysic Universal Time Breguet 5817 Marine Breguet Ref 7337 - a fine Guillochè & splendid on the wrist Triple Calendar by Breguet For me one of the...  

👏👏

All superb watches. I’m specially fond of your Breguet. Already a classic!! Have a beautiful weekend ahead!! Cheers! Abel

… your kind good wishes. Same to you dear HS!! Cheers!

The MIH will certainly be one, at least for a certain kind of collector, the others will certainly not have any issues convincing a wider audience 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

. . . and precisely the type of watch I was hoping to see appear this week. Under-the-radar yet clearly inspired by a designer versed in the classics. Good call!

The two Omegas are future / past classics for sure 👍🏻
