Horological Meandering

Do you have one in your collection? Whether it's ceramic, PVD/DLC, forged carbon or even plastic, it would be interesting to see the variety of these 'dark knights'. It may also help me decide on my next piece. Looking forward to seeing your contribution....

Pls. excuse me for using the term too loosely. :)

My personal choice - as an owner and wearer - would be the Sarpaneva Korona K0 in a black-diamond case and crown, with a monochrome dial. Or - within a lifetime beyond wealth and stealth - there is his Black Moon. Some women go crazy about it - - - The on...

That is the version that I actually have and use and wear with pleasure. When everything around me is going astray and it gets dark and gloomy, the K0 gives me the strength, the energy and the courage - perserverance - and even the willpower----for me to ... 

Best, Horo ...  

...looks even better than the watches... Fyi, I am a coffee-maniac...at least at the same level as my watch-mania...

The black Seiko diver I can understand and am familiar with but I did not notice this black skeleton Cartier before. Does it work in a formal occasion? I'm sure it does and would undoubtedly draw admiring glances. :) Would love to see more; any WS? Thanks... 

Nice addition. Best, OpC

Because I didn't feel comfortable to have two Amvox II, with time passing. And because I feel black cases are a bit too trendy for me. Best, Nicolas ...  

I can understand your predisposition with these trendy char-grilled cases but you must admit they do stand out and seem to fit certain pieces. Anyway, I think black objects, whatever they are tend to have a following irrespective of fashion trends. Hope y... 

And three perffect counter examples, when black was not a trend... Panerai 5218 - 202/ A, Panerai 5218 - 203 / A and the infamous Panerai Pre V Slytech. Here is one of them, the MM: ...  

What a superb example of the cool Italian diver watch! You see, there is a justification to go black. F

Just a curiosity, like Panerai watches... O tempora, O mores... Best, Nicolas, a bit nostalgic. ;)

Keep them coming! :) ...  

Maybe too modern for my taste :p

I'm sure he'll apppreciate it in time, especially when it's 'double sealed'. ;) Best Fernando

I hope your junior will value it! Best regards, Marcus

Always interesting to see what you have up your sleeve. :) These are rugged pieces you have there, with most of the attributes you would want in a phantom piece. And of course they don't necessitate breaking the bank! :) Cheers fernando

... but I think a rubber-coated black watch is also permitted in this circle: http://un1.watchprosite.com/img/watchprosite/un1/18/scaled/un1_image.2799818.jpg http://un1.watchprosite.com/img/watchprosite/un1/93/scaled/un1_image.2787693.jpg http://un1.watc...

A very nice collection you have there! Thanks for sharing and HAGWE! :) cheers fernando

Sinn, Fortis Chalkboard Math watch, IWC calendar moon, Purists ABR, Ball Night Train, Seiko Astron Most do NOT have a black back - probably the coating(s) would interfere with threading? Cazalea ...  

...  

I don't blame you. A gorgeous deep matt finish that is only apparent in the metal.:) Thanks T and HAGWE! fernando P.S. Nice pic. btw.

...  

I just love the Insanity. It looks so complex, but reading the time is quite intuitive. Its a watch i would nearly kill for. No need to worry as i use a fast acting poison so you wont feel a thing :-) Best G

My only black watch. :-) Cheers, Daos ...  

amongst a rugged back drop - cool pic! Thanks Daos. :) fernando
