I would be a little shocked if there was a single category where you could choose just one ππ

The combination of titanium, chrono and WR gets me going every time as well ππ»ππ»
It at least brings me back to the times when the improvement of the species was somehow seen as more important than a new dial color ππ€·π»ββοΈ

Cannot fault your choices π

Chronographs weβre the complication that finally got me into this hobby and onto WPS now more than 8 years ago π And some truly cool choices you have made and posted ππ»ππ»ππ»
Thanks!

Of the kind we have come to expect from you ππ» And while your collection is strong in every area, the chronographs appear to be a tad stronger still π And wasnβt aware you also had the P15 ππ»ππ»

Your Longines is amazing. So pure, so real horology. Not to ignore the fabulous Omega AT world timer. Did i see a fabulous Speedy? yes. great chronograph.
I know
By: Weems@8 : June 13th, 2022-18:40
Good that there is difference. Speedmasters are for me not as special like Seamasters. But i have a few favorite Speedmasters that should be great if i can enrich my watch collection with. The new Snoopy anniversary Speedmaster is my number 1. A golden Sp...
Thank you so much dear Jml!

That plane shot was taken at the amusement park at the top of Tibidabo Mount in Barcelona. I enjoyed riding it with my grandchildren a couple of years ago. It doesnβt really fly but itβs very enjoyable anyway . Glad you liked the shot! Hagwe! Abel
Tremendous choices β¦

Everyone has something special going for it. I particularly love the 6238 Pre Daytona, beautiful !

If there is one thing you are famous for apart from independents, it has to be complications - and in many cases the two go truly hand in hand ππ» Epic shots, all, but the VH Regulator is my favorite of yours this weekend ππ»ππ»ππ»
Interesting
By: Weems@8 : June 10th, 2022-20:25
While i have no favorite, iβm on to discover what will be my choice. I collect more on how a watch has build. The material, the crown shape, glass bends, lug shape and form. Useful complication is the gmt and perpetual calendar i collect specific a watch ...

By: Weems@8 : June 11th, 2022-03:19
It is my watch i use to set my mechanical watches right when i wound them. The idea to skip a computer for setting my watches is adjust a watch with a watch. The GMT hand gives my Conquest a playful touch. A Smart watch with real hands, better than a disp...
Reserving judgement or sounding off

Well think you can have both - so not unexpectedly here's a few alarms, although I think I probably preempted myself with an earlier post on Home . Though, there is a second complication I'm rather struck by - power reserve, especially with a splash of re...

By: KMII : June 11th, 2022-09:30
We had them made with custom dials for our wedding anniversary (no prizes for guessing which one) π The beauty of independents is that even regular people get to express wishes π
Thanks so much for your appreciation!
By: KMII : June 11th, 2022-18:07
The chronographs are eclectic indeed π As for the Habrings, they are as lovely to spend time with as their watches πππ»
Thanks so much Abel!
By: KMII : June 11th, 2022-18:08
It is a complication I have always been fascinated by and I felt a small selection would be in order. Glad you like them π
My favorite complications are GMT and Worldtimer.
By: Sfwatchlover : June 11th, 2022-04:48
An excellent GMT imo is the Tudor βPepsiβ BB GMT. It was my companion on a few vacations and daily wear for some time. My older son loved it so I gave it to him last year as a graduation gift. Here is a wrist-shot with my son taken today. KM and everyone ...

Only split second chrono of this kind from all Purits here ...
By: COUNT DE MONET : June 11th, 2022-10:20
... my Edo Index-Mobile watch: Prof. Schaldenbrand added only nine or so parts to a mundane Landeron chrono caliber and made it to a split second. This coil on the dial attached to a chrono hand, next to some parts of the movement, makes it a spli second ...
Yes, it is also a very inexpensive way to own a ss chrono.
By: COUNT DE MONET : June 11th, 2022-18:42
The "only" inconvenience is that you have to press the pusher in the crown all the time, inorder to halt the ss hand. If you come off from the pusher, the spring will make the ss hand catch up with the other hand again. I am pleased you like the watch dea...

By: Cpt Scarlet : June 12th, 2022-09:41

This is quite the selection of complications, HS ππ»
By: KMII : June 11th, 2022-10:42
And itβs hard to choose a favorite, with so many sublime pieces offered. By a small margin I would say your Duometre tugs at the heartstrings most this weekend though. Enjoy the weekend and glad you could join!
Now thatβs quite the selectionβ¦
By: KMII : June 11th, 2022-18:10
With some surprising specimen for the various complications - and what pieces! The KV would probably be my favorite but all strong entries here ππ»ππ»ππ»
For someone who does not even adjust the date....

It's Complicated and I couldn't help myself
By: cazalea : June 11th, 2022-22:23
Titanium and Chronographs and Tools and Water Resistance go together in my mind. But I can't choose just one! PS - I had to take out the revolving gif image -- having that running 7/24 365 would use more energy than mining bitcoins! Cazalea ...

The only complication that motivated yours truly . . .
By: Dr No : June 12th, 2022-03:51

By: KMII : June 12th, 2022-09:23
The preferences change during life. I most like time only watches these days, too but the theme went for complications. And I guess I am not the only one who has rarely, if ever, used the chronographs for their intended purpose πππ€·π»ββοΈ
