Three Heavy Weights
There are many ways to judge a time piece. Style, movement, and finishing are the usual categories. Size & weight are factors, but for me, only as disqualifying ones. I actually prefer heavier metals and a bit of size—substance—to the haute horology ultra-thin (or titanium) pieces. Here are my three heaviest pieces. All plat; weighing in at 210g, 254g, & 286g! I’m wearing the UN now (which prompted these thoughts). What’s your heaviest/biggest piece? What do you consider disqualifying?

But it is a bear to set, so it is one of the few I keep on a winder.

Two gorgeous ALS watches , i don’t mind bigger or heavy watches .
What a trio! And that UN is boss!!!
My largest are likely the Zeitwerk and Urwerk 202S. As far as a disqualifier—hmmm perhaps the color of the metal.
As a follow up:
Older pieces tended to be smaller—much smaller—than some of today’s watches. A matter of aesthetics over which folks can (and do) argue. My taste tends towards calendar models and moon phases and complications all of which can be problematic when it comes...
Ah, thanks for sharing these beauties, especially the ZW MR and the YG Langematik Perpetual on the bracelet!
I remember when you first posted about the ZW MR after you got it. A real treat!
