seems to be an inadvertent accumulation of mine as well
Mostly I am interested in mid-20th-century chronometers, which do indeed tend to be simple 3-hand watches, manual winding
and slow beat. Here are a few others of possible interest:
circa 1948 Audemars Piguet, 37mm, Valjoux VSZZ movement:
circa 1970s IWC Yacht Club, 36mm tonneau, Cal. 89:
circa 1950 Zenith Cal. 135, 36mm diameter:
circa 1958 JLC Geophysic, 35mm, Cal. 478/BWS/br:
circa 1948 Omega, 36mm Cal. 30T2SCrg:
Help me to shape my Time only collection :-)
I'm currently collecting White Metal/ Silver Dial Simple time piece running at 18,000bph. It must be manual wind. I attach a picture of how my collection looks like. Do note that the pictures of the Simplicity and Observatoire are not mine as I'm still wa...
Hmmmmm.....
Maybe a Vianney Halter Goldpfeil? ;-) Anyway, two watches that come to mind are the Lange 1 and FP Journe Chronometre Souverain. The Lange is an important wristwatch historically and in terms of design, and also beautifully finished. On the other hand, th...
But they are not 18.000bph....
I'm trying to make things really difficult fior myself ;-) Lovesss*CL
SJX....do you have any picture?
And do you know the size? This sounds potentially interesting Manual wind, I hope. Lovesss*CL
Thanks Rei.....
I forgot to add that it has to be 38mm and below as I have skinny wrist Lovesss*CL
I would say you don't need another white metal time only watch as you
already have some of the best
Alex...deep in my heart,
I feel I need a Rolex, a Omega and especially a Vacheron to complete this collection But then I would also want to start a novel time/out of the world design collection too. In that catergory, what comes to my mind is the Seiko Burger, 103.08 Urwerk, Vian...

Ever hear the saying, "trying to herd cats?" (grab shot)
Hi, CL, This is not directly in relation to your question, but hopefully can stimulate some further discussion and consideration to help you decide. By the way, herding cats and trying to shoot several watches at the same time, and having them show hand p...
Now THAT is a sweet array..
very, very nice, Thomas! Could you please elaborate on the second and third from the right? Regards, Tony C.
Wow...I love 2,5,6 and 7
(counting from left to right). I know no.7 is Simplicity, may I ask what's 2, 5 and 6? They look really really attractive Lovesss*CL
2, 5, 6 (same as Tony's question above) - sorry about the sloppy quick pics
been swamped today. #2 - #5 #6...
Thanks, Rei, mighty nice of you. (warning - pic inside is not what you would expect)
Now you guys really have my juices flowing...nothing like watch photography to reduce the stress of work overload... ;-) Cheers, TM...
Bend the rules...
CL, can't you bend the rules just a little? The Lange 1815 in Pt/silver would be a great addition to that set, but it runs (I think) at 21,600bph. (If memory serves, you may have a couple of 1815's already). A while ago Suitbert posted an article on some ...
John, have tried to hunt down a Portuguese Jubilee Platinum?
Unfortunately there are only 50 ever made. I have not had the opportunity to photograph it buts quite a beauty. Let me know when you find one. I would LOVE to photograph that - as well as your rare WG Dato. Cheers Harry
Is 'nt this where is watchmaking all about
very simple, gorgeous looking and discreet pieces, that are easy to read the time. These smaller watches have so much class. Geo
Hmmm..I know this may not be what you want. BUT..
This is what I just bought after I met an elderly Swiss man wearing one, it is heavy and VERY solid. The display id very big, and the entire thing can be rotated to fit angle of view. Whatever, it is a damned cool watch..seriously cheap too...well, for su...
