Thank you so much j,jota!! A watch I had been hunting for long time. An honest timepiece considering its age. Preferred to keep it with all the scars accumulated along its long life.
Have a nice weekend and invite you to share your favorite KIS watch/watches. Best, Abel
Wow, dear Abel.. As expected you show a nice portfolio.. I specifically like the first two Panerais.. but also..
.. your Reverso TT1931 (a reference we share); the IWC Ingenieur for sure is a pleasure to see and wear ! Last but not least I also liked your early Rolex KIS specimens, such as the Ranchero & DJ examples, especially tha last Datejust pic of your series, ...
Hello my dear friend HS for your kind comments on my choices and I appologize for my late answer to you and my hosting as I lacked Internet connection during whole Sunday.
I´m happy to know you liked my choices to open the KIS watch event and I´m always thankful for your so kind comments on my posts. I wish you enjoyed your weekend and will have a nice week ahead. Best cordial regards, Abel.
Now that's keeping things simple:
No need to chose a watch, as each one is to be kept!
Hello Abel,
Thanks for hosting this month and great theme BTW. Here’s a few from the archives and also something from Mrs K… HAGWE 🍻 ...
Hello dear Kurt! Thank you so much for your great entry. My big pleasure to host this weekend. Lovely patina on your BB Tudor bronzo.
This is a great watch. I own the brown dial version and enjoy it so much too. Great underwater shot. And a lovely contribution from Mrs. K and her OP Rolex which epitomizes the KIS watch concept. Hagwe! Abel
Fairly simple, apart from the "Grand Complication", the date window ;-)
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref. 5402, here the A-3x from June 15, 1972 Cheers, HSTE ...
Wow dear HSTE ! That´s a wonderful example of a KIS watch. It´s lacking of seconds hands compensate the date window appearance here. Lol! And you are sharing...
... a superb example of the watch watch which started the Royal Oak Legend! The dial patina adds to its charm and interest of this timeless design. Keep enjoying it so much and thank you so much for sharing. Hagwe! Abel
A few images I’ve posted before, sorry, no energy to take new photos today.
Some of my simpler watches, with the JD Grande Heure Minute being about as simple as you can get, not only in function but design. ...
Thank you so much for your entry Emil! Always a pleasure to view your shots. Don´t worry if you have posted pictures before. We sometimes need to draw upon our HD´s pictures...
... to participate in WS as not always have the time needed to shoot special pictures around the Theme. You share some wonderful timepieces here (and details or no less wonderful cars of course). Love your AP KIS watch and of course both of your superb JD...
Hours. Minutes.

Welcome to our event Evo! You share a watch which fits like a glove with our Theme. And with tons of elegance and class. A lovely timepiece. Thank you for sharing it here.
Keep enjoying this charming watch and have a nice weekend! Abel
Thank you, it‘s a 19 sadly
tapering down to 16 at the buckle. But the watch comes with a second strap (dark blue croc, like usual croc leather lined). Best, Ivo
Less is sometimes more …
Especially when it comes from another dimension ;-)) … To infinity and beyond ! … See you all tomorrow folks for another “KIS” selection ! Best Captain ...
That second shot is great!
Official timekeeper of: “The United Federation of Planets” Channeling my inner Trekkie😀 Well done Cpt.
Wow Captain!! You really surprised me! Is this a new arrival? This watch is fitting for Captain Scarlet, looks like beyond telling time it serves to trace Mysterons presence! ;)
I specially like your second shot which captures to perfection the character of this futuristic watch. Enjoy your weekend my dear friend. Look forward to more KIS watches in your collection! Abel
Of course I will keep you informed Captain! Last time he was seen in Mars if memory doesn´t fail. Lol! Big congrats on your new addition to your collection.
It´s space ship looks is very intriguing indeed. A conversation starter for sure. I wish you´ll enjoy it so much my dear friend. Best, Abel
Hopefully he hasn’t got enough rocket fuel for the return journey 😉
The interesting thing is that this watch is a real conversation starter and I find it very refreshing. It generates less envy and a more positive conversation about watches. I think it should be named “The Friendship”
Thank you dear h.s …
They created something that gives much pleasure. Best regards Captain
Didn’t realize I had so many that qualified until I started looking 🤣
A simple 2 hander with an exposed movement. No one does thin like Piaget. Although this lost the title of the thinnest watch many years back, I’ll take the additional mm or 2 for the elegance of the dial. The Traditionelle Small Seconds is still a “go to”...
Glad you enjoyed seeing them.
I’ve had fun an over the years picking them up along the way.
Wow dear Timeout!! Breathtaking array of KIS watches in your entry! Rotating bezels qualify as they are not mechanical so not a true complication I feel.
You share superb KIS watches here fitting in the Theme, even if their stunning dials are not really simple. A gift for the eyes. I can understand your fondness for your beautiful Santos by Cartier. Beautiful collection! Thank you so much for sharing. Hagw...
Thanks Abel.
The Santos Dumont has such a rich history with Cartier - first wrist watch - arguably the first sports/aviation watch too. Definitely one of my favorites!
Many thanks!
The Vacheron is such a beautifully simple watch - with an outstanding movement. I’ve had this white gold one for many years. I must say that I do like the boutique only grey dial model, but had already jumped in when this one was released.
You’re welcome.
The Grönefeld is another one of my favorites. For the longest while I thought I’d go for the 1941 Remontoire- but the symmetry of the Principia won me over 😊
Welcome to our WS event j.jota! You share a favorite Rolex in my collection. I was tempted to share mine here. A perfect KIS watch so versatil and easy to read the time day or night.
Keep enjoying and loving it so much. Hagwe! Abel
Hello dear KCLQMULKU! Glad you like the theme for this weekend. Two beautiful KIS watches you share here. I love both and own both. It´s a shame the Omega was discontinued so fast.
The Tudor is a very versatile, tough and reliable timepiece which I wear very often. Enjoy your watches and weekend my friend! Best, Abel
Thank you so much Abel for your kind words!
I always find the simple to be just as beautiful and inspiring as the complicated (with a splash of coolness of course)!

Hello enjoythemusic! I love your definition of "simple" in watches! KIS watches can be as gorgeous as those you share here worn by you and dearest family members. Absolutely agree with you...
