Dream Watches ! For the child in all of us
Gentlemen, Inspired by Nicolas's thread on the JLC forum SIHH 2014. Your secret desires, dreams? , i would like to ask you a question about your dream watches, but from a different perspective. The rule. Choose only watches that already exist and that you...
Since Tony Stark is setting the tone....
.... I'll open with a JLC Master Grande Tradition Minute Repeater in Titanium. With respect to vintage watches, I have to think. Maybe a Rolex 8171, perhaps a genuine U.S. Navy-issued Blancpain Fifty Fathoms. My heart's torn... and there's my excuse to po...
Nice choices Tim !
The JLC MMR is a logical choice when it comes to dream watches. And i'm curious to discover the rest of your selection when you'll be ready. Thanks and best regards Fabio
I am a big child, I have big dreams...
But small hopes to come back home with any of them... BUT is this a bad thing? Best, Nicolas. This message has been edited by amanico on 2014-01-02 10:30:44 ...
You need 3 iron men with 3 iron wallets…..;)!!!!
I cannot add another one to your list….really can t… Mo
We have very close tastes, indeed. But I thought you would add another De Bethune...
Just for the fun. Best, Iron Man, with the platinum wallet.
A bad thing ?
No, i don't think so. If we can fulfill all our dreams, life will not be interesting and fun anymore. The collection of Gyrotourbillon (Gyro1, Gyro 2, Gyro 3) is almost a "sans faute" for me. Not an easy task to choose which one speak more to our heart. C...
Reverso Platinum Tourbillon Skeleton. LE of 35 pieces, released in 2004.
Long time sold out... Absolutely agree with you, my friend. If we could achieve all our dreams, we would not have dreams anymore... All the best, Nicolas
An absolute masterpiece of design . . .
. . . that I've had the pleasure of strapping on once, some five years ago. This is one of very few on the same level as the Omega central, in my estimation. ...
My "Dream Watches" selection
In alphabetical order: - Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept Carbon I love the way AP display the minutes of the chronograph. And the overall look of the dial is to die for... - Greubel Forsey Double tourbillon technique Just my favorite of this selection !...
It comes down to just one, really - an . . .
. . . Omega central tourbillon. Any version would do; my favorite is the blue gold dial version, circa '01. Sorry, no images to share . . .
I tried a little search...
...and i have not found a picture of the blue gold dial version. But you're right, any version would do :) Best Regards Fabio ...
I'll add the great-grandfather of that one . . .
. . . to the mix. [image courtesy Magnus B] Omega's original tourbillon, the 30I. Reputedly, a handful were sold to the general public during the late '40s, and seven were produced in the late '80s from movements that had been in storage for decades, some...
Me old broken record
with list toooo long so for Iron game purpose just three of them regarding number of Iron Man sequels The serious one The elegant one The playful one and then there is certain watch with Logo and watch with dial named after one of States in USA...watch na...
Hi Damjan,
My name is Fabio and i'm pleasantly lost... Ok for the first three. Then, if i'm not wrong, there should be a Panerai California, watch(es) from Kari Voutilainen, watch(es) from Leroy ? For the others, i don't know :( Nice to know a horological junkie.......
Dear Fabio
Yes Kari & Cali were in question as well as Panerai PreV Logo Monaco from TAG Heuer DeBethunes Digitale, DBS and Celestial ala Mo JLC Reverso Septantieme VC American, Reverso from JLC (Red White & Blue one) :) UN Trilogy set, UN freak and UN Forge...
Well if its anything
Hi Well if it can be anything - I'll have a Patek 5078-001, but not only that as they are fond of saying - you only look after it for the next generation, I'd like a lifetimes worth of servicing with it too please :-). There'd be no point to having such a...
Very nice Minute Repeater with an enamel dial !
Simple layout and elegant ! Best regards Fabio
Go Figure
If I am honest with myself, I feel very lucky to own the watches that I do own, and while there certainly are pieces in the areas where I actually am a buyer that I continue to lust after, I think of a whole class of watch that I haven't even touched yet ...
. . . to which, my reply would be . . .
. . . "You can't always get what you want . . . . . . but if you try, sometime, you'll get what you need." :-) [And yes, I was there - seeing the video now gives me the chills!]
The dial of the DB Skybridge appears to be a killer !!
I never saw it in the flesh, but it really looks gorgeous. A feeling of depth emerges from that dial. Thanks for sharing your selection. Best regards Fabio
Music to my ears
Since you say, for the child in all of us, for me, the dream would be the Breguet Reveil Musicale. Maybe not so impossible a dream. Dean ...
If "not so impossible a dream"
How sweet to be woken up by this Breguet Reveil Musical and realize you actually own this Marvel.....A sweet dream that became true. Beautiful, isn't it. Best Fabio
