Horological Meandering

Part 2 of the GPHG Oscars 😊

 

Derek Pratt: Luca Soprana developed a Remontoir d’Egalité Constant Force mechanism with the help of a Reuleaux triangle, which you also find in the Wankel Rotary Engine, this is for me the Best of the Best of Horology all in One.







Qian GuoBiao Facing The Sky 2.0: Poetry in Motion, I love this Design ♥️







Quiet Club Fading Hours: A Vertically Mounted Hammer Strikes the Dial as a Gong? Yes Please 😊





Andersen Split Second Chronograph WorldTime: Never seen one before, a Fusion of their in-house World Time calibre and a Venus 179 Split Seconds Chronograph movement, Nice!





Eberhard Contodat Chronograph: 70s Mediterranean Charm ♥️



Ressence GMT: Effortlessly Cool and Very Glamorous in a Low Key Way ♥️





Alto Falcon Eye: With a James Bond Villain name this one brings the 70s High Design and Aesthetic, how can you deny its Sultry Charms? 😁





Kodoke 5: Beautiful Day Night Indicator ♥️





Minase Mexico: I love this whole Concept, Artistic, Mythical, the Multi Faceted Case ❤️





Oan Gio Gingko: Celebrating Nature in Design, Aesthetically Pleasing ❤️ and a Great Price 👍





Sartory Billard Path of Purpose: A Talisman to bring Good Fortune and Success in Ones Career, I Need One 😁, the GPHG site says its steel, doesn't look like it to me.





All Images in this Post from the GPHG Except the Eberhard Contodat that was from Monochrome

I Miscalculated in Post 1, Another 12 watches to discover in Part 3, The Real Fun Watches 😊👍

The Candidates are in, I can't remember the last time I've seen this many Amazing creations before. Exciting Times 😊👍. Credit to the GPHG, they highlighted pieces I didn't know about, although don't envy the Judges job, this year will be tough. I went thr...

And once we have the six finalists per category, I will organize our own WatchProSite "Fantasy" GPHG winners: where our members will choose their winners among the six semi-finalists in each category. We will do this in October!

I really look forward to reading your impressions and seeing your votes!

I can already see you're giving this a lot of thought - you might have an advantage in October!

A truly interesting roster indeed 👌🏻🙌🏻

I see the spirit of Luigi Colani is coming back (first piece for instance) 😉 Some truly exciting pieces you picked 👍🏻

Thanks for the great selection, Salman.

Lots to love in that line up. I look forward to part 2! All the best, Jon

For me

The double balance wheel is the most impressive and a watch I’d wear. I love the less is more aesthetic on display here. I also love the case design on the ipsomatic.

Thanks for sharing this post Salman. A lot to like here.

On first impression, the Sartory Billard/Studio Underdog is my top pick. I also like the Eberhard chronograph quite a lot. Thanks again. M4

Thanks for the informative post and great pictures.

I think all of the watches are interesting and most are aesthetically pleasing. I noticed on the Qian Guobiao watch that the bridge or whatever you call the piece holding the balance wheel looks very similar to the design I have seen on McGonigle watches,... 

Thanks a lot for filtering that for us :)

Some pretty loud designs with plenty of skeletonised models that are not really my taste. Few personal comments on the ones I like: - The Gübelin is very nice but I think their logo should change and be more neutral. - Sartory Billard do some brilliant st...

The flush crown on the Andersen is really cool.

The last one looks most interesting to me aesthetically. Thanks for compiling these, Salman.

Amida Sapphire Case: Full on 70s Vibes ❤️ Fears Arnos Pewter Blue: Very Elegant Watch, reminds me of the Dash Consoles on the T Bentleys in the 90s. Maghnam Noor Pop Up: So it's inspired by the 80s/90s Pop Up Headlights, that's Super Fun 😊 Cornell Watch C...  

Thank you Salman for this very interesting selection

with some comments. My personal selection is very different from yours, but I would have to spend much more time discovering each watch to really be sure of how I feel. Thanks again. Best, Emmanuel FEMME Piaget Sixtie Voutilainen 28CG COMPLICATION POUR FE... 

Very Cool 😊👍

I see some common choices like the Masa Sohkoku, Quiet Club Fading Hours, Andersen Split Second World Time and Raymond Weil Toccata, the Zenith GFJ is so beautiful ❤️ but the competition is vast and tough this year.
