Late to the party, but bringing a guest of honour...

These guys do 'elegant' pretty well...

...and they are now assisted by 'Mr Elegant' himself...

...and if elegant means 'pure and simple', then this comes close...

...and this new guy on the block would be a contender...

As announced, this week's WristScan Theme is "Most Elegant"! I will play my Girard-Perregaux 1966 Enamel dial with sub seconds. To me, one of the most elegant watches I have in the collection! Now it's up to you, what you consider most elegant... Let's pl...

To start conquering the world ;-) looking at my Universal Geneve Shadow. Super slender, less than 2 one Euro coins with an UG 66-2 beating inside and flat blue alligator. No seconds hand, beautiful "bat" shaped case. That micro rotor was the thinnest auto...  

Very nice! :) [nt]

my Moritz Grossmann piece unique Atum 37mm watch with an enamel dial. Sorry it remains unworn as it was couriered to me with a non alligator strap and they will be hand delivering the alligator strap to me in mid March. The hands of this watch are quite u...  

Looks very elegant!

Looking forward to see live shots once you have the strap! Best Blomman

What an unusual beauty.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 21st, 2019-09:32
The enamel dials are early leaders in this category.

Thank you! It came as a set!

 
 By: sham1 : February 21st, 2019-09:37
The pocket watch was made by Moritz Grossmann himself as a piece unique in 1872!! The wrist watch was made to celebrate this pocket watch. And quite amazingly the size of both watches are almost identical!! The engraving on the case is quite something The...  

That is very, very cool.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 21st, 2019-10:34
And the presentation is immaculate.

Thank you for saying so!

You have a pleasant weekend too!!

Wow, that’s unique indeed. With the story of the pocket watch, it is even more special.

Looking forward to see more pictures Stefan

Thanks Stefan!

 
 By: sham1 : February 24th, 2019-04:26
One of the rare things about this pocket watch is that it only measures 36.7mm and has no personal engravings which I prefer. It was common to have one's coat of arms or initials engraved to a pocket watch in the 19th and 20th centuries. ...  

Thank you!

 
 By: sham1 : February 21st, 2019-09:41
And the movement is not too bad either! ...  

I shall try to bring it with me

the next time we meet so that you can try it on!

Looking forward to it my friend πŸ™πŸ»πŸ€—

BAAM! That is ELEGANT! [nt]

The dial is the perfect example of less is more I think.

I happen to agree πŸ‘...

I had not realised there were more photos of my set.

So happy to see you loving this piece, Sham.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : February 22nd, 2019-05:57
MG make some gorgeous pieces-the best with the enamel dials. Yours is perfect for your taste. Better watch out pun intended you may start to fall for the Germans!

Funny you say that

 
 By: sham1 : February 22nd, 2019-06:40
because after securing this watch set, I have to confess that my interest in watches is waning as if I have secured the ultimate (for me at least). I have a Cartier Crash arriving at the year end, a RW Smith in two years time and my Patek skeleton in 2028... 

I hear you.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : February 22nd, 2019-12:05
How many do we really want? (Need is not part of the equation!)

I think for many of us

 
 By: sham1 : February 22nd, 2019-17:49
the answer might be lots!! But for me, as I wind my manual winding watches daily and have a minimal amount of space, I think 5 or 6 manual winding watches would be enough!

Top top class my friend πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘Œ

 
 By: Mike H : February 24th, 2019-02:56
I very much look forward to seeing it in the metal when you come... Wear it in the best of health and with special care, this one is very special but you know it better than me. Congrats again

Thanks Mike!

 
 By: sham1 : February 24th, 2019-04:29
And congratulations on being appointed as a moderator. I only just noticed it!!

Some vintage elegance

 
 By: crown comfort : February 21st, 2019-09:23
Elegant watches...could be very much a subjective view. I think simplicity is one, but for real elegance, I adore thin straight lugs on a (not too large) round case. Like with this couple of elegant vintage GPs. And yup, very elegant on the wrist Best, CC...  

Very minimalistic and elegant!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : February 21st, 2019-09:25
Pure class! Best Blomman

That's often the case with these...

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : February 21st, 2019-11:23
Not often but once you do, quality is there! Best Blomman

Looks great on you.

Your signature watch! :) [nt]

Aaahhh, the CvdK, been a while.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 21st, 2019-09:34
A lovely, amazing watch. Unfortunately, for my tiny wrists, it wouldn’t look elegant.

It’s 40 mm?

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : February 21st, 2019-13:50
(ok maybe a bit too thick??)

For me, even 40 is too large when considering elegance.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 21st, 2019-20:19
And it is a chubby watch. But, for your giant wrist it looks perfectly elegant.

True

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : February 21st, 2019-13:51

Very elegant CvdK my friend [nt]

Elegance can mean different things to different people.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 21st, 2019-09:30
For me, it is something to wear for all but the most formal events. Small, simple and unobtrusive. I would throw in, something not likely to be recognized by those who don’t know. Like you, Mr. Blue, I will play with enamel dial. The purity of the dial is...  

It’s your candy watch [nt]

 
 By: Arie - Mr Orange : February 21st, 2019-09:31

It just poses in front of candy.

True. Lange makes some very elegant pieces.

 
 By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 21st, 2019-20:16
Another strong contender for me was my 1815 anniversary, but I picked this as I wanted to limit to 1. ...

He thought everyone was stupid. He was always saying "this guy is stupid" or "that guy is stupid". Everybody was stupid. Now the problem with this strategy is that if everyone is stupid... then nobody is stupid!! When we define something we also define it...
