COUNT DE MONET

Only split second chrono of this kind from all Purits here ...
... 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 chrono:
Thank you for hosting this weekend.

The WS for the 10th of June - ‘It’s complicated - your favorite complication’ - is live
Sometimes we like them simple, sometimes complex. So the theme this week is your favorite complication(s) or your favorite complication combination. I will post mine in a separate post imminently and in the meantime I am very much looking forward to yours...
Chronographs forever! Hagwe, KM and all 🍾
2017 Daytona, 1996 Speedy Racing JDM, 1974 Seiko 6139 ...
Cannot fault your choices 😁
Chronographs we’re the complication that finally got me into this hobby and onto WPS now more than 8 years ago 😊 And some truly cool choices you have made and posted 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻
This has to be one of the most underrated, superb watches
Reminding me to look for one myself 😉 Fantastic shot, too 👌🏻
A most interesting Theme which I’m sure will bring…
… some awesome shots/watches from the participants! My favorite complications are: 1) Chronographs 2) Moon phase 3) World Timer Here a few favorites of my collection below. Have a great weekend my dear friend KM!! Cheers! Abel Breguet 3800 Aeronavale Spee...
An epic entry my friend…
Of the kind we have come to expect from you 👏🏻 And while your collection is strong in every area, the chronographs appear to be a tad stronger still 😊 And wasn’t aware you also had the P15 👏🏻👍🏻
Thank you so much for your kind comments dear KM!!
I began my collecting journey with chronographs which I find they are fascinating watches. Yes I got the P15 which I deeply love. Hagwe my dear friend! Abel
When scrolling your collection
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
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...
Hello again dear Weems! Seamasters are a great collection too. I´m specially fond of those divers watces SM of which I own several too. Great watches! Of course a completely...
... different type than a Speedy. Those Speedys you mention in your wish list are top options. I am surprised about the price reached by a Silver Snoopy in last week auction: 50,000.00 plus US$ for a current production watch whose retail price is under 10...
A good reason to expand my collection with Seamasters
I am happy a Seamaster do not touched the moon. Lucky me Speedmasters are not my choice. But the CK859 is popular, so i guess i can not get my hands on that watch anymore.
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 doesn’t really fly but it’s very enjoyable anyway . Glad you liked the shot! Hagwe! Abel
Hello Abel !.. As expected for this topic, You did it again !.. Great selection of different complications and indications !.. As previously nice to see, we share some Refs. ,
.. such as the JLC Geophysic Universal Time & PP 5510G, the Zenith Cronometro CP-2, just to name these three.. for this time; but there are several others, as we both know meanwhile, which underlines in a nice way similiar tastes & interests. - Re...
Thank you so much dear friend HS for your always so kind comments. Once again we can view several watches we both own confirming the similarity in tastes and interests as you...
... well say. Let me say that in spite I deeply love my modern Breguet Type 20 Aeronavale, it´s far from the beauty and attractive of your vintage chrono. What a piece!! I´m always happy to know you like my choices even if I can´t refrain from posting too...
A strong cast of WT and Chronos...
Your Omega Cosmic and 6238 are my fav! Have a restful weekend dear Abel!
Tremendous choices …
Everyone has something special going for it. I particularly love the 6238 Pre Daytona, beautiful !
Fantastic shot from the side of your 6238, dear Abel!
All entries are top and it is hard to pick one only. If I had to, then it would be your lovely VC chrono, which is an absolute stunning watch!
Great theme my friend .
I do like a nice or amazing complication. Lets give a few examples Regulator Moon face Wondering hours Jumping hours Retrograde Tourbillon Remontoire And some Crazy Hours 🤪 Hagwe my friends 🤗 ...
This was bound to be your theme 😊👍🏻
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 👌🏻 Epic shots, all, but the VH Regulator is my favorite of yours this weekend 👏🏻👏🏻🙏🏻
Superb line-up of sublime & outstanding pieces !.. Chapeau !!
Love the Remontoire and that lovely VH Regulator ! Bravo !! - Cheers !!
What a wonderful selection of complications and watches you are sharing dear Watchonthewrist!! All beautiful but I fell in love with your Antoine Priziuso watch. So charming and unique!
Thank you for sharing your beauties! Hagwe! Abel
Interesting
While i have no favorite, i’m 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 ...
A great GMT piece…
And superbly accurate, too! Looking forward to finding out where your journey will take you 😊🤞🏻
Smart watch
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...
While the alarms were all but certain…
The red dash PRs are a bit of a surprise 😁 Two great complications, certainly and a raft of superb shots, too 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Better late than never…
So here are some of my favorites… When it comes to complications it’s simple for me - chronographs come top. While I love my watches time only (let’s call that the non-complication) and have many collecting themes (hi-beat, ultra thin…), chronographs do i...
Thanks so much…
We had them made with custom dials for our wedding anniversary (no prizes for guessing which one) 😉 The beauty of independents is that even regular people get to express wishes 😁
Dear K !.. So well done !.. Your various Chrono- close-ups are awesome and also eclectic to a certain degree.
My personal favs are the Seiko with the pink indices, the Seiko SpringDrive and of course the Habrings, a love for their dedicated watchmakers‘ skill & pleasure towards what they create. HAGWE &
Thanks so much for your appreciation!
The chronographs are eclectic indeed 😊 As for the Habrings, they are as lovely to spend time with as their watches 😊👍🏻
Hello dear friend KM! So nice to share with you the fascination for chronographs. You share a superb collection of examples of this most interesting and practical complication which...
... allows for some playing or interaction with our watches which I feel so nice to have on my wrist. As usual you show your watches with some stunning and great taste combos of straps which makes a delight to view. Great Theme you choose! Thank you so mu...
Thanks so much Abel!
It is a complication I have always been fascinated by and I felt a small selection would be in order. Glad you like them 😊
My favorite complications are GMT and Worldtimer.
An excellent GMT imo is the Tudor “Pepsi” 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 ...
I am more into time-only watches
but my Ressence Type 2 should qualify, or do we see it as a time-only? ...
This one definitely qualifies 👏🏻
Such a novel way of displaying time and so well executed, too 👌🏻
The right way to do a date
And certainly a wonderful, if alarming other entry 😉 Love your style of adding complications in an understated way 👏🏻
Only split second chrono of this kind from all Purits here ...
... 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 ...
OK - this is one to go under the amazing category
With so few parts and some on dial side? Fabulous and ingenious 👍🏻👏🏻 And the name is sublime 👌🏻 Thanks for the kind words, too!
Wow dear Count! An amazing chrono you are sharing here! It´s an ingenious way of adding the interesting split complication to the Landeron movement with so few pieces.
Awesome feature the extra spring on dial side! I love chronos as I have stated before and split seconds ones are more fascinating yet! Thank you so much for sharing my dear friend Moritz! Hagwe! Abel
Yes, it is also a very inexpensive way to own a ss chrono.
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...
Hmmhh.. Let me see what to chip in to play this time..
My humble personal complication/ indication is the „Alarm on Arm“: - JLC Memovox A partial view into the Memovox watchbox: Middle: From left: E 855 black & 855 white („Ebene dial); E 875 blue/blue, white/blue & all white/silver Far right: E 861 Top (cross...
This is quite the selection of complications, HS 👍🏻
And it’s 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!
Within the current possibilities…
So all healthy and together - as for really well, that will take a while I guess 😊🤷🏻♂️
Great selection of Memovoxes 👍
Shows the variety of a single complication by just one brand. Cheers JML
dear hs, what a collection of memovox!
I really like the warmth of your charming JLC triple cal and Breguet Type XX!
Hello dear friend HS!! I love your definition of "humble" when sharing your stunning collection of JLC Alarm watches!! Just awesome!
As in other opportunities you are sharing watches I also own, and some I would Love to own! Lol! You always keep me drooling when viewing your vintage Breguet chrono, and your JLC Durometre chronographe. Superb!! You make very difficult to make a choice o...
As always, Thx a lot for your kind sentiment !.. Glad, you like some of the choices and Yes, the JLC-MMV theme can be a deep abyss to explore !
Enjoy your remaining WE and your own selected treasures.. .. and Cheers !
