Watches of a myriad shapes have existed since pretty much the times of Cartier trying to make flying a less deadly experience for his friend Santos Dumont by making sure he at least did not fumble around with a pocket watch. Still, square and rectangular ...
I will add a better picture tomorrow - seems I already erased it from my phone, so need to fire up the computer But truly fascinating - at least to my eyes...
I have a square watch (IWC) and I like the way it looks, but there is no escaping the fact that watch hands move in a circle. When I look at the part of the dial that actually is involved in reading the time, it is quite small. Thus, I get relatively litt...
Here is one of them , my CvdK Also my Urwerk is a kind of square watch There are also brands that primeraly make tonneau cases (RM , FM etc) and i do love that cases as well but must admit that most of my watches do have a round case . ...
In my opinion, one of the most beautiful square cases, is that of the original Daniel Roth (those of the early 90s designed by Roth in person) and the case that creates today with the JDN brand. ...
Hi Having something with straight lines instead of curves has a different appeal. I've got one of the obvious choices Despite its rectangular shape - there's an awful lot of curves present! A couple of my squarish watches - predictably both alarms. Omega ...
The RO/ROO are all conquering - at least outside of the haute horlogerie range - so the other products have it difficult to compete for resources, no matter if good...
There's a lot more regular models then one would realize at first. I'm showing just some of my favorite ones. Not my personal watches but all pictures taken By 1926. Cartier Cintree curvex XL size,Nautilus,Reverso,Cellini Prince,ALS Cabaret (unfortunatel...
I never would have considered Nautilus to be in that category but perhaps you are right. Very much like both the Prince and Cabaret but both have been discontinued and produced in much smaller numbers than their round cousins Hope for a return of both!
the KV is of course a stunning one. I think too of the PP Gondolo's in their various versions but for me the icon remains the Reverso of which I have two (my wife also has two) and I've sold a few over the years. A brand worth looking at is Lang & Heyne -...
Can you tell us more about it, Brauner? The sapphire dial 1945 is definitely one of my favourites from the line, moderate visibility or not Thanks for joining in!
Of course my vote goes to TAG Heuer with the Monaco, IMO the most iconic square watch...ever. For me, the Monaco LS is a beefier, more substantial interpretation of the original Monaco. IMO, it's a great dresser and unique. Speaking of square, my wife has...
The Monaco is a classic for sure! I possibly live in a skewed environment. In our company and business environment there are very many people wearing TAG Heuers, albeit almost exclusively Carreras - have nt seen a Monaco live (outside of a watch shop) for...
Except the Reverso and the Tank, it is very complex, even for Patek, to sell rectangular (squared is even worse) watches. It is a matter of taste from the clients. Lange doesn't have any non-round watch in its catalogue anymore. Fx
I do fully agree there, just wonder why we prefer round ones. The usable real estate theory is certainly a good point, maybe there are psychological reasons, too. I guess no great renaissance of rectangular or square watches is to be expected and I can ce...
I have been searching for this watch for a long time and finally bought it without ever seeing it in metal. It surprises me with the elegant shape and size. Feels perfect on my wrist and I really love the watch ...
