In this insightful article, jlux explores the resurgence and widespread appeal of fumé (smoked) dials across the luxury watch industry. He highlights how brands like H. Moser & Cie. have popularized this aesthetic, prompting others, including Audemars Piguet, Glashütte Original, Anonimo, and Certina, to integrate these captivating dial variations into their collections. Jlux's original post serves as a vibrant showcase of diverse fumé interpretations, inviting collectors to share their own favorites and observations on this compelling trend.
And also a good unisex option as this watch was "stolen" already a few times from my wife!
My favorite so far are my Patek 590P and Moser Pioneer Tourbillon, though I suspect once I get my hands on a AP Code it will give them a run for their money. Generally speaking I do love dials with character, weather it’s Fume or intricate guiloche, that said there’s something to be said for a simple dial made of high quality materials
Saw it in real life and the colours are very unique.
The love is so big. I wil give everything for it. A fumé dialed Baume and Mercier. It is funny to see and read this thread while i put almost that Clifton on my wrist. I will thank Richemont for the great effort what they did for the brand. Thank you! For sure, the fumé king is for me the red Audemars Piguet. I feel sorry for Moser that Audemars Piguet is a tat better. Maybe i should try a Moser on my wrist. But first i want to make my dream come tru.
And yes,the fumé effect really adds character to the dials.
Especially the grey dialed time only and moonphase are great looking watches !
