The Chronograph is a perfect and natural use case for the dual wing concept.
The only reason it is not on the top of my Duometre charts is that it is a monopusher chrono. No matter if they are easier or more complicated to build than a two pusher Chronograph, they feel incomplete to me from s functional point of view. (Agreed that in 99% of all uses you do not need start/stop/start/stop cycles. But from that perspective you do not need a mechanical watch at all. )
Just my very personal point of view.
And that objection put aside the Duometre Chronograph is stunning with a wonderful movement.
Best, Martin

That is the Duometre that I find to be to most desirable of them all.
Next to the QL Enamel that is. Convincing in concept, form and function. I understand why you want one Best, Martin

Yeah, I suspected that meaning shortly after I asked for Omega (which did not make much sense btw.)
Coaxial monopusher makes some sense to me. In this case you gain some aesthetical benefit from the limitation in functionality. But in the end would you agree that a Chronograph is not so much a romantic but more a practical complication? And as such func...
My Hobby..........
sorry, I'll have to add a watch later. I tie trout flies, I get a kick from tying midges, these are all size 22 on a dime for reference. I've tied smaller but it gets to be a challenge.
Try to tell that to an average man ;-)
Very nice pictures and watches. Moser for me Best, Martin
My fascination with pool started over fifty years ago . . .
. . . and grown ever since - with a break of thirty years in between. Never had time for the game after leaving for college and working; now, it absorbs much of my free time. Art
Art... I thought it was almost a job :)
and thought The Stones were also the other big obsession? Cheers Andrew
A Perpetual Calendar is very apropos for you long time passion.
A such a nice one A beautiful composition Warmest regards, Martin
Thanks, Martin! All three of my Karree perpetuals have sat far too long . . .
. . . in a safe deposit box; they were such wonderful companions when I was working and could actually benefit from the complication. Warmest, Art
One of the coolest Sarpanevas seen so far
Love the contrast of the Orange and the blue, very cool!
Nice Bicycle 5980
Your hobby is a perfect match with metal bracelet but IMHO it is an even more perfect match to keep exchanging into a different leather strap. It will be even more fun if you share the built component of those bike (SID world Cup?, XX, Enve Carbon?)
Wowsers... that first bike looks pretty serious stuff!!!
I can see why the hobby and Patek don't go together Cheers Andrew
Time flies so I try to save some as I can by enjoying all my passions at the same time : watches, pens, cufflinks and... photography 😉
Hereafter some examples of how I blend my passions & hobbies: sometimes pictures are better than a long speech... ...
Stunning pieces MikeH [nt]
I adore your Mercator composition and Voltaire composition
That was a treat!
Beautiful photos and pairings! Its just a shame you can't include your camera in the photos.
Amazing collection dear mike and a great hobby as wel
How dosnt like pens,cufflinks&watches 🤗
Ah the Wonder Watch... I have to agree with you
It has been my unreachable grail for 20 years before I get it. I even started with 5125 R the Wempe LE thinking of the 3448 dial design and one day I could make the dream come true... 😀
Wonderful watches and pens Mike!! A joy to view your photos!1 I´m specially fond of the Big Red Namiki!! Couldn´t get mine ... yet!!...
... hope to get it soon!! I really wish to have one for my collection! Nice to see we share interest in watches and fountain pens! Hagwe! Abel
Merci Abel, I am glad that you too share this hobby for pens. I strongly hope to have the opportunity to show my collection to you one day...
Namiki is a fascinating brand, the more you know about it, the more you love it
My big pleasure dear Mike! I´m also glad to share with you this hobby with pens. It would be wonderful to view your collection some day. And yes, agree about Namiki...
... I´m a fan of Japanese fountain pens and enjoy so much writing with them. Namiki is one of my favorite Japanese brands. All the best, Abel
All such beautiful pics (and watches)
The VC's - the Mercator, and the LE Patrimony - speak particularly to me.
Dear Mikchel,
you definitely chose not to waste your tine with middle class watches. Brilliant photos of well curated collection. The „ Wonder watch“ is a superb example of how much there is to learn from fellow PuristS I had no idea until Croatia. Warmest regards, Mar...
