This week's topic is "complications". What is your favourite complication? Minute repeater? Amagnetic? Central second hand? Automatic? Water-proof? GMT? World Time? Lume? No lume? Chronograph. Or maybe pure simplicity.......Anything goes here.....
For me, what hits my bell is a weird complication for sure. I am more than a touch enamoured with the Rolex 1665 reference. It ticks all my boxes. But what is the single complication on this watch that makes me smile most?
Well.....
First, the watch....
And now a profile.......
But lets home-in on that HEV
Yeah....the HEV.....it just does it for me....and let's not forget, it was the inspiration for George Lucas's "Death Star"

Apologies for starting this a little early..... This week's topic is "complications". What is your favourite complication? Minute repeater? Amagnetic? Central second hand? Automatic? Water-proof? GMT? World Time? Lume? No lume? Chronograph. Or maybe pure ...
.. along these lines and your intro, dear Joe, I deliberated a bit: - is it a single complication ? ( actually I don't have any watch with high- end complication(s).. - a World Time or Geographic ? - well, to me more indication, than complication.. - moon...
You have so many complications in one - like a kinder egg! ;) Hour, Minute, Sub-second, Big date, Day-Night indication, Reverso, GMT, GMT indicator, 24 hour indicator, Power reserve..... Did I miss any? Great choice, my friend! :) HAGWE Blomman
.. like this, life is so goot & sweet.. Our little drink together, " au bord de la Seine", in the deck chairs after a cool ride in your cabrio, also counts to those... To many more of these moments !! Thanks & Cheers, Best, hs
.. I can understand, that you can't decide for only one ! My humble personal picks, if allowed, would go for the JLC MR, the UN Sonata and the PP World Time - yet, as you can see .. - that way, I have not even touched the Rolex " Magic Bag" ! ;) But also ...
While the JLC MMR is pure magic. The PP is a dream. And the Rolex GMTs are pure rapture. No, I can't choose between magic, dream, rapture and friendliness... No, I can't. No.. I don't want to. ;) Best, Nicolas
Four of my favorite complications: - Alarm - Diver (Waterproof) - Antimagnetic - Chronometer But the most difficult complication that both of these watches have: for me they are Grail's, Reserve de Patron, call it what you want... They form the core of wh...
I can't help getting lost in a tourbillon... Here's a few from the last couple of weeks... Sports watch...? An uncomplicated breakfast... Complicated but simple with jeans... Or one to dress up in... Cheers Andrew ...
My favorite complications are the ones that are so clean you don't know they're there. This is doubly true of the Nomos Tangomat, probably the "cleanest" watch ever made. White faces and silver bezels It's actually hard to see the complication in the Nomo...
Launched in the late 40s/early 50s per Abercrombie & Fitch department store request and based on the Solunar theory, this Seafater made by Heuer offers a moon and tides cycles complication shown on the rotating disc on the left Definitely the ultimate...

simple yet useful. I like PR indicators, they are useful and give a dial something special. Here an example from my collection: GP Sea Hawk II "To John Harrison" Check out the fine pattern on the PR dial. HAGWE, CC ...
