Hello my dear friend Seeks! You show some wonderful watches and I´m happy to share with you the fondness for chronographs (and Speedies of course!). Not easy to choose ...
...just one of the three watches you show, but that Cartier ... simply drives me crazy! I love it!!
Thank you for your kind comments about my collection. I will look for the Breitling chrono with red seconds hand and will take some pictures to share with you with much pleasure.
Have a nice week end and stay safe my dear friend! Abel

WS for today Friday 10th is OPEN! Theme: "My Favorite Watch Complication"...
... Hello my dear Friends! Sorry for the delay in opening this new edition of our WS today. As announced last Wednesday the theme for this week end is: "My Favorite Watch Complication". In the middle of these trouble times we are living around the World "...
Now, when our world hasn’t ever been so connected
Let me open your nice theme with GMT. WT would be more appropriate but not a single one in my stable. ...
Thank you so much dear Tyo for joining with your great opening of the thread sharing these wonderful GMT´s. ...
... And Three GMT´s from Rolex which I feel is the icon of this complication!! The JLC MC from the gold modern era of the brand is beautiful too. GMT is a very interesting complication I like so much too. Very useful for travellers and business which requ...
Favourites...
This is an interesting subject Abel, as asking a collector to come up with a list of favourites gives me some very difficult decisions;-)) ... My Zenith Equation Of Time always fascinated me... Chronographs will always play a big part in my collection.. E...
Thank you so much for joining my dear Captain! It is very true: not easy to answer about a favorite for a collector.
If we speak of watch complications there are so many interesting ones to choose from. You share several wonderful ones: Your superb Zenith, equation of Time AND tourbillon! Chronographs and a charming mystery seconds. All of them make for the enjoyment of...
Thank you dear Abel..
Your Chronograph photos are superb! Thank you for being our host this weekend. Kind regards to Mrs Subexplorer and your family 🥂
No, I didn’t along with others...
Pleased that you like it. It’s got some good memories for me.
That Goodyear watch is as the real surprise, Captain 👍🏻
And congratulations on that Zenith 👌🏻
on you for your kind message...
I have had the Zenith for some years now and it seldom comes out to play. The Goodyear is interesting and the “Blimp” seconds is great fun.
Thank you so much for joining us aWtchslvr !! Moonphase is a very beautiful and romantic complication indeed which I love so much too. Your superb Glashutte surely deserves...
... some additional shots to fully enjoy viewing it. Do you have some other shots to share with us? I send my best wishes of a nice and Peaceful week end. Be safe! Abel
Worldtimers would be my favorite competition
5131R: 5131O 5575G 5930G And my dream watch (not mine): ...
Thank you so much Fram for telling us about your favorite complication and sharing these beauties in your collection. Patek makes the Kings WT of them all, though...
...other brands also offer beautiful watches with this interesting complication of course. Keep enjoying and loving these beauties and have a nice and peaceful week end my friend! Abel
It’s good to dream ...
Especially when it involves these beautiful watches. Which model would you choose ?
I actually like Time only models the best, that's why this is my favourite complication
Love the IWC Minute Repeater for its clean looks and overal appearance. GEO ...
Like you...
Time only watches make up the backbone of my collection, but I would regard the ultra thin Cartiers and the Bulgari Octo Finissimo that I know we both have in our collections as being a special complication in their own right. I may add some photos to thi...
We have pretty much similar taste
Please do post a few when you have time and enjoy your Octo in the meantime. GEO
Hello Kkochheiser: you may participate with time only watches if they have a date feature. Date counts as a complication. If you wish to participate with your Cartier or Bulgari...
... you are welcomed too. Agree with you that Geo´s IWC is a true delight !! Cheers! Abel
Hello dear Geo!! Your IWC minute repeater is a Dream! So classy, elegant and timeless design! And so sweet listening it! The Tin Tin Speedy an special variant of the classic...
... which I own too and love so much. Thank you so much for sharing! Have a nice week end my friend, and stay safe! Abel
Dear Abel, what an opening...
I was scrolling scrolling....am I nearing the end yet 😂 ? A few from me..mainly power reserves. Triple Cal 8 day PR 7 day PR Another 7 day PR WT and alarm Oh...one more 7 day PR 😊 ...
Fantastic watches and sharp clean photos!
I like the matching shoes and socks for the Moser Stay healthy dear SF!
Ha ha ha!! Thank you so much dear S F!! Yes, I get enthusiastic some times and post too many pictures! Lol! Thank you for sharing your favorite complicated watches...
... all of them marvelous pieces. Reserve de marche is a very nice complication to have, even in an automatic watch. And your VC triple date is such a charming and lovely watch which is impossible not to fall in love!! Have a nice and pacefull week end my...
Great collection dear Abel . And i see some old Dutch currency in your pics too 😉
One of my fav complications of my collection is the Remontoire Who doesn’t love a tourbillon 😉 And how cool is a wandering and jumping hour HAGWE 🙏🏻🙏🏻 ...
You show a stunning collection !
May I ask for more details of the watch shown in the last photo? Best of health.
Dear Seeks ,
The last watch is a NHC Vincent Calabrese . A great and very cool watch from a great watchmaker
Hello Watchonthewrist! Thank you for your kind compliments! Yes, I keep some old Netherlands and France currency samples which I find lovely and a nice background for...
... my watch pictures. They were small master pieces and testimony of past times. I find them charming and much more aesthetically attractive than current currency. You share wonderful pictures here. I would love to view in the metal your Gronefeld Remont...
Thank you so much for your kind words dear Abel
I agree with you about that old biljets . They where better looking imo. Wish you a great easter weekend
You’re a master of complications, Watchonthewrist 👌🏻👍🏻
The wandering and jumping hours - superb 👌🏻
Thanks my friend 🤗
I dont buy them because of the complications. Just because i think they are cool and great looking 😉
A very simple complication in a watch. Very very humble complication.
This week got very interesting wristscan topic! But I think I will have to go to the simplest complication (and added bonuses). We've come so far that we have forgotten this complication because nowadays its presence is always there only to serve the owne...
Hello JFT! Glad you like the Theme for this week end and I absolutely agree with you that this is a humble and often forgotten complication: automatic movements! There is another...
... one which most of our members (including me) don´t like too much: date and day dates. These two complications: automatics and dates are so common nowadays in mechanical watches that we don´t think of them as complications at all. But both are very pra...
Cool one, Abel!
I would love to see your Connie! Hehe. But man, your Longines Chronograph though! Would you customize it by making a transparent caseback for it?
Ah yes, I forgot to include hardwood as well
As the father of bumper automatic watches in a wristwatch. He granted his patent by UK around 1923 in his pocket watch prototype then proceed to ask fortis to make it manufactured en masse in the 1926 and introduced it in the baselworld 1926. The Léon Hat...
Omega Apnea ...
I haven’t seen this piece posted for ages. I like the design and it looks great in your wrist shot.
Aye aye, Captain! This is one of the most underrated chronograph from omega aside from the split second.
Thanks for the lovely comment Captain Scarlet!
Right?
But tourbillon, while it's not a complication, it's still highly regarded as a complication as well. Idk, perhaps when we see the day tourbillon become the standard escapement like automatic, its complication status would be obsolete as well I guess. Anyw...
Excellent theme my friend and what a wonderful collection of chronographs you have shared
Which also happens to be my favorite. I noticed the Breitling Chronograph with the red seconds in one of the middle photos. It’s very cool. Would you do a post on it one day? I have never seen such configuration before. Here are some of shots of my chrono...
I love your Tank Mono Poussoir
Have the same model in pink gold, but I think I prefer yours. GEO
Oh, many thanks dear George!
I remember you posting photos of your Mono Poussoir with its warm RG case ! Really stunning. I bought the WG because I chance upon the WG version first. Pure randomness The RG is equally delicious. Stay health and be well my friend.
Many thanks dear Nicolas !
I find it photogenic and easy to snap photos Best of health !

Fantastic entry as always, Abel!
With many delectable pieces! So for me it’s deadbeat seconds (even better if paired with a foudroyante): Don’t mind the odd alarm... And have been a lifelong fan of chronographs... Have a great weekend and stay healthy! ...
Hi KMII...
I always enjoy seeing your Habring2 and the Seiko but this time I’m drawn to your Chopard, elegant and purposeful. Best wishes to you and your family. Have a great weekend.
Thank you so much dear friend KM!! Appreciate your always so kind comments. You also join us with some beautiful watches showing your preferences about watch complications...
... Dead seconds and foudroyante in same watch sounds awesome. Alarm and chronos are very interesting as well and I also like them so much. A flyback in a chrono is another complication I like so much. Great watches and photography as usual my friend. Hav...
