Hello! I have the pleasure of hosting this weekend. As I previously announced our Theme is: “Keep it Simple!!” and I’m asking our participants to share with us their time only watches. No complications this weekend. Just watches displaying hours, minutes ...
I´m expecting many entries including this superb offering from Omega introduced early this year and phased out of production so quickly as surprisingly. Thank you for sharing dear Captain! Best, Abel
... so special. Agree with you that the minimalistic dial and no seconds condiition makes it the perfect KIS choice. Also agree that the 44/45 mm sizes are more comfortable for many owners but this full size 47 mm Radiomir cases wear so well probably due ...
among my collection, my 60-year-old vintage Rolex 1024 won as the simplest. I was debating about posting my blue-dial Bulgari Octo Finissimo, which is definitely simplicity with style looking very stylish. I chose the Rolex, though, because it is so simpl...
Guess your Octo Finissimo also deserves to be shared if you wish. It also ticks all boxes in high style and you may share with us more than one watch if you wish. Thanks a lot for your entry. Hagwe! Abel
I didn’t realize how many I had with a date window! Here’s what I found. Forgot that the Streamliner was a time only until I went through them. Had a few that almost made the cut - but one had a power reserve indicator and while a tourbillon isn’t strictl...
... I preferred to discard them from the choices. Also those with a power reserve indicator. Regret to say I don´t own a tourbillon but agree too that its presence could raise the question about if it is or not a "complicated" timepiece. Lol!! I´m special...
The Piaget doesn’t get many outings but it’s a cool watch for sure. Similarly the Vacheron is struggling to get out lately. The Moser and Panerai are both real beauties in the sunshine as you can see. Great theme this week - made me stop and think! ...
I lusted after this dial - and struggled to get it since it was released pretty much in the middle of the COVID pandemic. Still not available from Moser for the time being. I must say that the Vantablack Tourbillon is stunning too - same size as this one....
I have been trying to get one but no luck so far . I just need to enjoy pics like the one your showing. Was lucky to play with the Vantablack Tourbillon from. The CEO during GWDs. Very very impressive i must say
The issue was that they had so many orders that production for the next two years was already spoken for so they have stopped taking orders (this was based on discussion with Edouard Meylan and Nicholas Hoffman). The website lists it as “unavailable”. Mos...
Starting at left and clockwise: Longines Calatrava style steel 36 mm case ref 4914-32 from 1956 movement 12.68 Z Omega Chronometer ref 2367-8 from 1946. Legendary movement 30-T2 happily ticking inside. Universal Geneve first series of 1954 marked Polarout...
... years ago. It´s an understated watch which I often wear and reminds of my good friend. Agree with you about the old Longines. Another favorite of mine and a lucky find some years ago. I´m happy you like them! Best, Abel
... CK 859 was an expected entry this weekend. But the two modern Longines are big contenders. I´m specially fond of the sector dial one. The Pam 422 is another of my favorites. Nice to view your Reverso. Specially striking looks with a Jubillee bracelet!...
Several years back I thought my horological happiness would come from complicated watches, but I could not have been more wrong! Simple is beautiful! Warm regards, Yacomino.
Though your VC is certainly very grand, looking at this part of your collection it is easy to notice just how different, unique, and beautiful they all are. Each standing tall in their own light.
But judging from your taste, which seems similar to mine, longines and omega wouldn't be remiss. Specifically, longines 'tre tacche' and omega dress watches from the 1940s and 1950s. Before a certain time, they had no reference numbers and were known by t...
Your thread immediately brought back to mind that, a couple of summers ago, I suddenly rediscovered this lovely Patek 5124G....which I had purchased back in 2010, but for some inexcusable reason, almost never wore until recently! Possibly also for its fla...
Probably Italians are unique in having an special word for this concept and attitude with "sprezzatura” isn´t it? Gianni Agnelli and many Italian cinema actors come to my mind as example of this word. In any case you are a good example with you fine taste...
Gianni Agnelli was of course an icon in this (and many other) areas --- he will probably remain unmatched for his unique elegance Looking forward to seeing Boccadasse (and the rest of Italy) very soon, I'll be heading back for the Christmas break in exact...
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. It is true Italians have a natural sense of style and good taste and it is evident when visiting a big city like Milano and viewing so many elegant ladies and gentlemen passing by. I’m happy to know you are returning t...
The entire (men's) Gondolo line has been retired, so if interested your only way would be a secondary dealer or another collector (I might be wrong, but wasn't Member Age_Of_Surfaces / Rosneathian considering selling one recently?). While I never buy seco...
An interesting thing in my view was definitely the beautiful shape movement, unlike earlier Gondolo iterations with round movements (which you'll easily identify by the closed case back ;-) Cheers. ...
