Lovely!
The DB15 QP is one of my dream watches (along with the A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Terraluna).
Which watch in your collection ticks the most boxes?
When you look at your own watch collection, which piece would you consider the most beautiful or interesting one ... and why? Is it about price, or is it about how many of your personal preferences that watch manages to satisfy? The most compelling watch ...
Great thread and great choice of watch!
For me it's my Series 5 for the following reasons: 1) beauty 2) rarity 3) handmadeness 4) the person behind this watch 5) the OG master behind Roger Smith 6) my personal engravings behind ...
For the time being it is this for the following reasons:
1. Handwound 2. Central seconds, simple three hand watch 3. Style that allows to be worn in any occasion 4. Craftmanship 5. Accuracy 6. Rarity - while not flashy ...
Thank you for this very interesting thread, Bruno.
First, your Breguet Rattrapante is simply stunning and I easily understand why you rank it so high. For me, even though it was with the Cornes de Vache that I took the step towards high-end luxury watchmaking, and even though it shares some characteristic...
I will not be asking why you chose this one 😁
Your love for it is well documented. For me it would most probably be the Vacheron Constantin 1972 Prestige de la France 🇫🇷 As for why? It fits my preferences in many ways, being asymmetrical, unusual, dressy, thin, historically inspired yet not a 1-2-1 c...
A little late.. that I encountered this entry of yours..
But this really is a great choice and indeed a signature shot for you ‼️ - I simply love your VC 1972 Prestige de la France !!
This is a very good question — for me, I think, the VC Historiques American 1921…
For its historical significance, the unique case and dial, its simplicity, the smooth hand-wound movement, and it simply sings to me.
In your truly exceptional categories, perhaps the one
That’s missing is how a watch reflects on your own character and exemplifies Your personal existence. I know it sounds a little out there, but sometimes they allow us to dream about places, events, and people we would like to be.
For me it is my Boucheron La Carree Ultra Plate
It is not my most expensive watch but it is one that means a lot to me as t reminds me of my first job in 1976 and my then boss who had a Boucheron Reflect on a gold bracelet that I had to take to Boucheron in Old Bond Street. The way the bracelet slid in...
Interesting!
In going through the list this one doesn’t tick them all, but more than any other that I have. ...
It is a very difficult question, my friend. If I have to answer, I would say that it has to gather emotion, passion, an intimate link with myself...
I would say... This is the last which would have to leave me. Best, Nicolas ...
Incredible patina on this dial.
And the watch itself carries such a rich history and "universe"! Best, Emmanuel
The Breguet is a great choice!
This is an interesting question, and a tough one for me. I try not to have any one "favorite", but the question is a bit more nuanced than that, isn't it? Takes some thought. A few contenders come to mind for me, but the two that are duking it out in my e...
Great choice and explanation!
Both the Cabaret and the Reverso are truly special pieces. Best, Emmanuel
Great question and fantastic Breguet!
For me it would be one of these, not sure how to select the one. ...
Wonderful DB duo!
Because of the ogival lugs I have a slight preference for the first one, but it's just me of course. Best, Emmanuel
Lovely!
The DB15 QP is one of my dream watches (along with the A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Terraluna).
Great but difficult question.
I have several ones that tick a lot of boxes for me but if i had to choose one i think the AK06 would be the one that is the most special one for me. Design, rare , relationship with the team , etc ...
great thread
and I love that Breguet! As for criteria, I like the ones by George Daniels: A great watch has to have historic, intellectual, technical, aesthetic, useful and amusing qualities. That is true for Journes for me and especially this one: best Andreas ...
Cool idea
For me, it's my Armin Strom Mirrored Force because it has an interesting complication, high level of execution, excellent sizing, and I was able to customize it. The other one is my speedmaster because I find I use the chrono a fair bit, it's super comfy....
