What is the nicest rotor ever made for you?
Hi all, Even if I\'m more a manual instead of automatic guy ๐, last Matto1 post reminded me of how much I love the design of the PSM rotors. For me, they\'re the nicest available today and, why not, ever made. What is your favourite rotor? You can opt for...
This rotor of Geophysic.
Me too I love the PP Nautilus for simplicity. Best Regards. EJR. ...
You're absolutely true dear Brandon
The first gold rotor and the first with a such decoration level. A true pioneer and still a reference today. Best wishes Alkiro
Just three that I have on my phone...
I'm more on the hand wind side, but I like those. 1) Aqua Terra Spectre 2) Globemaster Pt 3) JLC Extreme Lab 2 Cheers, Nilo ...
I like them small......
Like the Chopard LUC and 7 Laurent Ferrier micros...... Best, Horo ...
Micro rotors are the best compromise for automatic watches for me. They offer a full view on the mouvement and add elegance to it if they're well designed and embellished
I owned a L.U.C and I hope to own a LF Galet micro-rotor one day ๐ค Best wishes Alkiro
Like DB or RM (I love a lot the rotor of the RM 007 even if it's a lady's watch), the ones made by MB&F for their HM are truly futuristic. Like the timepieces of these brands, their rotors are divisive

Without a second of hesitation imo the most beautiful, best automatic movement, with the best finishing actually on the market is...
...the Laurent Ferrier Galet with micro rotor with natural escapement. I know I am biaised but I am convinced about it... If you have a doubt look at it in the metal and you will be convinced . Mike ...
Glad to have you in the LF fan club !
btw check the other pic I have added (as reply to Alkiro) you might like it... hehehe
May be you're biased my dear Mike but you're objective too. This LF micro rotor is truly fantastic and the fact that they added a "micro rotor bridge" is an element which offers a supplementary touch of elegance
You know that I love it a lot too ๐ Best wishes Alkiro
That picture is giving a good idea of the level of finishing of this movement... hard to beat !!!
This one is not my watch but my picture (taken in Basel) ...
Hard to not fall in love with that kind of shot and don't say bravo. But you don't need to preach to the choir ๐
I know that I will own a Galet Micro rotor one day ๐ Best wishes Alkiro
Does it have to be a rotor....
But... like you I do think that the PSM has a lot of class. Cheers Andrew ...
Wow! The Monaco V4 Tourbillon. May be not the nicest "rotor" but without any doubt a very well thought out one. That makes me think to Corum with its linear winding system.
Many thanks for your input Andrew (I absolutely didn't think about this one). Best wishes Alkiro ...
I think there was also a Harry Winston with the vertical wind...
The only thing with the TagH is that it is quite noisy against the carbon case when it goes from side to side, but a cool system. Cheers Andrew
The HW Tourbillon Glissiรจre that I didn't know. Your remark about the V4 is interesting because I didn't think previously about this possible problem of noise or bad feeling on the wrist
That's why it's so interesting to discuss with true passionates and owners because they can give information that you won't be able to collect on review websites and brands of course. Thanks Andrew. Best wishes Alkiro ...
That was the one I was thinking of... cool looking piece!
Its not uncomfortable or off-putting when you wear it... just sometimes when playing tennis or golf, you hear it click back and forth. Cheers Andrew
LOL, I had that exact picture
but deleted before posting. Felt it would be like giving heroin to junkies ;-)
I posted it because it was the picture I had with your answer ๐
Best wishes Alkiro
As you know I like Vianney Halter watches๐
(Photo credit to SJX, I hope its ok I use this one as example) I'm a bit late but here's one more.. Really like this "masse mystรฉrieuse"! But anyway, quite a nice collection of rotors in this thread!! Best, HGL ...
Very nice my friend. I didn't think to this one which is perfect in this thread (no problem for the shot as long as you make reference to the owner's shot ๐)
Peripheral rotor are absolutely perfect for both automatic watch and movement lovers. I would say that they offer the best of these both worlds ๐ Best wishes Alkiro
The GO one offers a very nice symmetry that I love a lot. Regarding the Vianney Halter one, it's just sublime and very well thought out for me
I don't know if it's the first peripheral rotor in history or not? Best wishes Alkiro
Never too late for enjoying ๐
The 3/4 GO rotor is one I had forgotten. It's so well thought out to avoid to hide the double swan neck. Thank you for adding this one ๐ Best wishes Alkiro
Many thanks Henry for your input.
The second GS rotor is cool. It makes me think to a rim ๐ Best wishes Alkiro
Each time I see this PSM rotor, I'm... ๐คค๐
Regarding the VH one, I would like to know if it was the first peripheral rotor in history or not? ๐ค Best wishes Alkiro
Good question, I don't believe so, although I do think it is the first mystery rotor...
I wouldn't technically call it a peripheral rotor, as the sapphire crystal section that attaches the outer weight to the center section, means that it still winds from the center of the highly modified Lemania caliber. Perhaps someone with more knowledge ...
Shh Tim! Never reveal the trick of a watchmaking magician ๐
Yes, probably someone here could give us the answer. Best wishes Alkiro
Might as well update this thread with Paul Gerber's Double and Triple Rotor watches
White Gold Yellow Gold Platinum ...
