Horological Meandering

Howdy fellow fair members of the horological shire, when it comes to watch movements, there are broadly three categories 1) generic time only, with different levels of finishing like the Unitas or ETA 2824. Plain Jane, maybe with some make up. 2) complica...  

....and lovely photos. Thanks for posting. Best, John.

any preference or favourite from the above? best, Horo

....the square Moser & Gronefeld blow me away but, imho, the Laurent Ferrier is the Star!! Best, John.

stay tuned.... best, Horo

I need to take some better photos before posting, though. My photo skills can't do justice to some of the movements.

i took them for my personal Instagram, so these are processed post Instagram, and smaller/lower resolution come, lets see some from you! best, Horo

all good shots, except the last - thanks for sharing!! best, Horo

I'd wear them upside down! I wish I'd be able to share something similar sooner or later. KR, Max

I only have phone camera, not even a proper point and shoot, let alone DSLR or the new fangled mirrorless.....all greek to me.I will learn and do macros best, Horo

I always use my iPhone 6S + my magnifying glass (Loupe System) to take macro shots. That's a not so bad combo in my opinion (at least for me). Best wishes Alkiro

thanks for sharing. are you a chronograph fan as well? best, Horo

I'm a big chronograph fan. Although I rarely actually time things I love the visuals of a nice movement; all these tiny parts working together is captivating. The only problem is nice chronos with nice finishing are not usually cheap!

Really complex build, but sometimes we take it "for granted" Best, Horo

Thanks for sharing this exquisite piece Best, Horo

Amazing that some of the best stuff we see here are done on camera phones. Congratulations for the wonderful shots and for assembling that "humble" collection!

Remember the old PuristsS and original PPro forum..... And photobucket!!!!! Those pictures taken by by my old Blackberry will only garner ridicule!! It's a new world, and I am playing catch up only. Many thanks mate. Let's see some caseback action from yo...

Who doesn't like WOW movements...your ones are trully horological monuments! All easy to recognise for me except one...is that a Maitre du temps one?? Could you show the verso side!? Here's what I could find in my cellphone's memory..hard to avoid the mig...  

Best wishes Alkiro

love all the shots, and being a Lange guy, the right side up shot on the wrist is just awesome. and yes, Its the Maitre DuTemps Chapter Three, created by Kari Voutilainen and Andreas Strehler. I will find a picture to post later best, Horo

The movement is clearly a decision factor when choosing our beloved pieces; and Lange just does it so well! Yes please, if you have a picture of the MdT verso side would love to see it! How does that watch feel on the wrist? Cheers, Alex

Size wise, nothing controversial and easy on wrist. Best, Horo ...

Caseback Sunday...MB&F HM1. To quote Max Busser... "deconstruct traditional watchmaking and to reconstruct it as kinetic art that happens to give the time.” Special credit to the key "Friends" behind HM1 are designer Eric Giroud, movement engineer Laurent...  

It's like getting two movements for one. Too cool.

The Genesis, as MB&F themselves call it. Best, Horo

But I wore it for 8 years already, not an issue at all to be frank. It makes you conscious of it, that for sure. Best, Horo

1/ The artistic timepiece (Horological Machines) like yours and 2/ The more "common" ones (Legacy Machines). I'm not sure (my personal feeling of course) but I think the latter ones really help to finance now the first ones or really creative concepts. My...
