They all do! The day a watch fails to make me smile is the day I wave it goodbye from the collection :)

 
 By: NickO : May 9th, 2019-10:46
But this one will always be special. It introduced me to De Bethune, to the Independents, and started my love for "crazy" watches. In two years time, it will be the first and only watch I've ever owned for a decade. So, yeah, big smile here NickO p.s. I l...

First off, I know this is not original. This watch started out many years ago as a 1981 16014 datejust with a fluted bezel and yellow Buckley dial. That I kept in my collection mainly due to it being my birth year. Then 3 Christmases or so ago, my wife wa...

Charming fun shot with our Zenith Chrono, and an spacial looking digital Amida. It shows that horological smiles can be found by different approaches of enjoying watches. Have a nice week end my dear friend! Abel

Likewise to you, Abel!

And I certainly agree with you - fun can be had at all ends of the spectrum πŸ˜‰ Even the whimsical Seiko 2220-0630 Playboy branded watch came with quite surprising features, such as a hand wound hi-beat movement and for the time a very rare palladium plated... 

Any of those would provoke a smile in me too!

This one is at the top end (monetary) speaking of my small collection, that makes me smile, because of ist beautiful face. And this one at the bottom end makes me smile because of its pusher in the crown and it is the most costeffective way to own a split...  

Thank you!

A shame that the subdial on the 1815 did not upload as on the original photo: no distortion there.

This always brings a smile...

That is a serious, hefty modern Patek. Maybe the most masculine Patek ever?
