Well, it was in 1993 / 1994, when black was not a trend.
Just a curiosity, like Panerai watches...
O tempora, O mores...
Best,
Nicolas, a bit nostalgic.
Let's see some "black" watches.
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....
Sure, here are mine.

Sorry for the "no pics here"
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...
Thanks, Foversta !
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 ...
Mmmm...that coffee...
...looks even better than the watches... Fyi, I am a coffee-maniac...at least at the same level as my watch-mania...
Two at both ends of the spectrum...
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...

Had one, but sold it
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 ...
Thx for sharing the Amvox II Nico.. your loss is someone else's gain ;)
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...
Ooops, I found 3 others I owned.
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: ...
Maybe it was you who set the trend with your evilish past :)
What a superb example of the cool Italian diver watch! You see, there is a justification to go black. F
Well, it was in 1993 / 1994, when black was not a trend.
Just a curiosity, like Panerai watches... O tempora, O mores... Best, Nicolas, a bit nostalgic. ;)
Love the Hautlence!...but can never understand the Urwerk.
Maybe too modern for my taste :p
Still Double Sealed!!!

Well of course there's this one.
I'm sure he'll apppreciate it in time, especially when it's 'double sealed'. ;) Best Fernando

I'm glad you did Graham.
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
You did not mention rubber ...
... 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...

Still stuck to your wrist?
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....
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
