WristScan

Hello dear friends ! We are now live for WristScan and we have something slightly different for our WristScan theme. The last time this theme was possible was 1953 ! Please join us with a watch from your collection that you would wear, if invited to the R...  

This watch is one of my favourites and I would chose it to wear for the coronation because I wore it a few years ago to attend, as one of 8,000 guests, our late Queen Elizabeth's Buckingham Palace Royal Garden Party to share that honour with her tea and c...  

I’m sure you will remember that moment forever. I love you photos of the day And your choice of timepiece. Best regards Captain

Too bad you don’t get stuff like this from GP anymore 🤷🏻‍♂️

My PSM perpetual calendar seems like a fitting choice. ...  

That’s an excellent choice, have you had this one for many years ?

I have had this one for a long time (15+ years). I got it when Peter was still there. He was very helpful in guiding me through the process.

So much promise as a watch maker.

And one seen as often as the coronation, it seems - a true rarity 👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

Vianney Halter Classic I would drive our Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas, in Westminster Blue and cream (chosen to match the one I saw Margaret Thatcher depart in, from #10 Downing St about 30 years ago) and I would remember the fine day when my dear friend and for...  

Love your car choice too

Getting your watch and car sorted first. The Vianney Halter Classic is a great choice for this special occasion and your car would be a perfect stately ride to Westminster Abbey. Blanche and her family look splendid to received her OBE from the Queen. Wel... 

Your Vianney Halter truly is a sublime watch & I as well love your Jaguar Vanden Plas ! Continue to enjoy both of these in the Best of your health ! Kind regards, 😊😊

... here is a rather nicely shot of it, caught speeding. In Germany the passenger must be blocked/blackend on camera shots, but in my car I am sitting on that side. 😃 Love your VH watch!!! ...  

Hopefully got you out of the ticket? 🤞🏻😉

The Classic is a fabulous choice - possibly my favorite watch in your collection. With a cool story of its own, right? Watch for a car, right? 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻

The Royal Oak is the answer for the Lady and I. We have the history of the term "Royal Oak". We have that fact that the King-to-be involved was Charles II. In the highly unlikely event we were invited to the Coronation, these would be worn. ...  

I’m sure The King would approve of this pairing.

Very well chosen for the occasion 👍🏻👌🏻

I would wear my Tonda PF Gmt. Rattrapante without a heartbeat because the King will wear his very own Parmigiani and because the Greenwich Mean Time and because of the hopefully beautiful sunny weather! God bless the King! Terrific thread, my dear Captain...  

I was hoping we would see a Parmigiani especially as The King is very fond of his. Well played !

Probably one of my Omega’s or a Zenith Enter text ...  

I really like your pictures as they have a real sense of occasion, perfect for a royal event.

Great shots to share them! Hagwe! Abel

… the possibility of viewing this most historical celebration tomorrow. I was just four years old when the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 so I obviously can’t remember that event. If I had the privilege of being invited to the Royal Coronation t...  

Excellent choice

Your various shots are sublime and exhibit true class !! - The last three pics are simply fabulous ! Well done, my friend ! 😊😊

Have a wonderful weekend dear friend! Abel

A time only watch, but with a twist: simple time telling but with all the wheels exposed. 😃

I felt it´s a watch fit for a King. God Bless Charles III !! Have a superb weekend my dear friend. Abel

Great choice Abel - love the watch you chose (one of very few I would consider in YG) 🙌🏻👌🏻

Glad you liked my choice! Hagwe my friend! Abel

I think your Breguet looks beautiful and I’m sure King Charles would be delighted to read your thoughts and appreciate your kind words on this special occasion. Best wishes Captain

I wish the King would read my little humble message. By the way: I was thrilled with the air parade including some WWII airplanes and also modern aircraft and the Red Arrows pass! I wish you have enjoyed this weekend so much my dear friend.

have to be my Smith’s Cheltenham, Wedgwood St. George’s cuff links and a choice English beverage 😀 ...  

All suitable to the occasion 🙌🏻👌🏻

Happy that you liked the photo. All the best, D.

I’m happy you like the shot 😀

That’s a great combination ! Well played.

I appreciate your kind words. I hope you enjoyed the event. Best D.

Thank you and I hope you have.

And this has caused multiple arguments between me and the misses. But if I do attend the coronation, it would be this. I mean it says on the dial after all. ...  

I’m sure The King would arrange a private visit to the Tower Of London 😉 What would your wife choose ?

Some things should be elegant and aesthetic so I select this open worked ...  

Thank you for participating and sharing this awesome timepiece. Have a nice Sunday, Abel

A powerful choice for a King.

Thank you for joining us for WristScan

This would be a very good option to wear on a special day like this the Corum RR But the current King of watchmaking is RR (Rexhep Rexhepi ) imho But any watch will do imho and i have already seen some gorgeous choices here👌🏻🤗 ...  

Enjoy a wonderful weekend! Abel

Is there a vintage RR in the garage to go with the watch? 😊🤞🏻

Enter text ...  

Looking majestic for the occasion.

On King Charles wrist. That’s a good call my friend. 👏👏👏

😉 I ‘ll be decided to present several options, hope that’s ok.. A quite modest selection, JLC Master Calendar Blue Splendid Guilloche & RG Breguet Calendar Moonphase Breguet as festive choice A potential modern choice - Tribute to Geophysic Guess, tha...  

... it is the type of dilemmas I love to have! Lol ! ): the dilemma of choosing just one among several first class choices. I absolutely love your triple date -date sautante- JLC. An under the radar presence on the wrist but recognized by the connosieur. ... 

.. You always are so kind & thoughtful ! And finally yes, as you rightfully commented, Out would either be the RG Breguet Calendar or my beloved JLC Vintage Geomatic.. I realize, you probably know my watch tastes pretty well ! 😉 HAGWE & Best, 😊😊 ... 

Ah yes! I know your watch tastes as they are so similar to mine! 😉 ☺️☺️☺️ Hagwe my dear friend!! Cheers!!🥂🥂 Abel

Am actually quite smitten with the first - the dial color here really makes a huge difference (for me) 👏🏻🙌🏻👌🏻

I think you just gave King Charles a shopping list for his Watch collection ! All your choices would fit in perfectly. Best regards Captain

I like all your choices but particularly your gold JLC, perfect for the occasion ! Best regards Captain

As soon as I saw your announcement, I started thinking which one would be the right choice. It was a tough one. First of all I thought of JLC as a reminiscence to the queen’s coronation. Another one would be a Breguet with its rich history, and Heritage a...  

... background. This is a neo vintage watch of beautiful classic design. Well chosen! Have a nice weekend! Best, Abel

I’m glad you liked it. Wish you a pleasant weekend.

Thank you for your kind good wishes. Best cordial regards Abel

I like your logical thinking on this choice and I think it would be a good idea. Your photos are very good and I particularly like the last one. Thank you for joining us this weekend.

It was a unique one for my generation. Appreciate your kind comment.

I would wear probably wear this Vacheron & Constantin Ref. 7255, fitted with Cal. 1003 and an anthracite dial (pictures below), for it would be way to pay respect to my host, without exposing myself, as a Frenchman, to taking pump and circumstances to...  

A most appropriate timepiece for the Celebration I feel. Thank you for sharing!! Best Abel

Never look out of place. Excellent choice !

Lange 1815 moon phase in honey gold, albeit time only watches would be more formal. Choice of shoes can onky be English: Edward Green Chelsea oxfords. (Mind the red leather inner lining!) ...  

The shoes impeccable and well polished. See you tonight at the party dear Count. Hope we will be able to join our dear Captain there among so many guests! Hagwe, Abel

Thank you for your good wishes!! Cheers! Abel

The King would be most pleased with your choices for this historic occasion. Excellent choice of watch and shoes.

Very well build and most elegant!

The other one is my Breguet La Tradition, first generation in WG as an auto! I hereby put this watch also into the competition! 😃 ...  

The rotor is so well integrated into the mechanism.

. . . would be the obvious choice, as it could possibly (although not likely) have been present at Queen Elizabeth's coronation in 1953. The Omega that I'd choose to wear, though, would be the oldest member of my collection. This ref 2099, ca '39 - '40, h...  

Your ref 2099 with that inscription on caseback seems very appropriate for this most historical celebration. Have a nice and relaxed weekend! Best Abel

. . . that's now departed. Had I only known Captain was extending an invitation to the coronation ;-) . . . ...  

Especially as a Spitfire has just flown over !

. . . to correct condition, Abel. The minute hand had to be replaced, for which I scrounged eBay until a scrap 2292 came up, and the replacement crown was sourced from a Belgian watchmaker. Best, Art

Saving this watch was a good move. Hopefully another generation will still be enjoying this watch in many years to come.

Your Omega ref 2099, ca '39 - '40 has a strong historical link that I’m sure The King would be very interested in seeing. Excellent choice ! Best regards Captain

...  

Well played! Hagwe Abel

Suitably quirky for the occasion 🙌🏻👌🏻

and the shoes look very interesting. Can you tell is anything more about them ?

She arranged everything. Then I had to go there two more times. Was an adventure. Now it seems that we share the same shoemaker (see pic) ...  

. . . she's in heaven. 😇

Worth a visit. Old shop with workshop. You can look over everyone's shoulder and have a chat.

One of the wonders of St James, London. This should be followed by a visit to Lock & Co, the oldest hat shop in the world.

Enter text ...  

Well thought. Hagwe! Abel

Perfect choice for anyone in London surrounded by the household cavalry !

No brown in town but the watch just fits 😁 ...  

Albeit an achieved one 😁

Thanks a lot 🙏🏻

… and a Crown in your collection dear KM! Excellent choice. Hagwe Abel

I’m sure you have a wide choice of straps for the occasion ;-))

This one is watch I would like, especially with dial, cross and hands association.

Hello dear friends, I hope everyone has enjoyed the weekend and I wanted to finish with a couple of shots and my choice for this special occasion… My beloved Patek … With a flag from the battle of Trafalgar … The Royal precession … Best regards Captain ...  

Discretion never goes out of fashion.
