What is the nicest rotor ever made for you?

By: Alkiro1 : August 14th, 2017-13:45

Hi all, Even if I\'m more a manual instead of automatic guy 😉, last Matto1 post reminded me of how much I love the design of the PSM rotors. For me, they\'re the nicest available today and, why not, ever made. What is your favourite rotor? You can opt for...

Horological Meandering

What is the nicest rotor ever made for you?

What is the nicest rotor ever made for you?

Easy

Very true my friend 👍

...

Any example?

This rotor of Geophysic.

Thanks EJR

surely this one is in the running......

The calibre 12-600 has a very nice guilloché pattern for sure. Thanks for your input

I was about to say exactly that! [nt]

Thanks Even more so since it is hidden behind a solid case back! [nt]

Yes sometimes nicest things are hidden

I was going to post this as well! My fav

You're absolutely true dear Brandon

Just three that I have on my phone...

I really like the Spectre rotor. So well thought-out in this context. The one of the JLC Extreme Lab 2 is so "strange" regarding the "TV screen" case back

I hadn't given this much thought. Very fun post. Some beautiful rotors no doubt. Thanks! [nt]

My pleasure. No idea of what could be your favourite rotor?

Without any doubt

Very futuristic and unusual for sure. DB is a true master for that. Thanks my friend

MB&F

Well played. The MB&F HM models are all so crazy (in the right way) with incredible shapes that they're forced to adapt their rotors to them which offer to us very creative ones

Yes for me the HM serie got one of the best looking imho

Humm the rotor of the "jellyfish". A mouth with "sharp teeth". One I've had the chance at this year at the SIHH. Not wearable for me but truly impressive

I like them small......

Micro rotors are the best compromise for automatic watches for me. They offer a full view on the mouvement and add elegance to it if they're well designed and embellished

OR..... Dramatic

Like DB or RM (I love a lot the rotor of the RM 007 even if it's a lady's watch), the ones made by MB&F for their HM are truly futuristic. Like the timepieces of these brands, their rotors are divisive

Without a second of hesitation imo the most beautiful, best automatic movement, with the best finishing actually on the market is...

we are biased ;)-

Glad to have you in the LF fan club !

May be you're biased my dear Mike but you're objective too. This LF micro rotor is truly fantastic and the fact that they added a "micro rotor bridge" is an element which offers a supplementary touch of elegance

That picture is giving a good idea of the level of finishing of this movement... hard to beat !!!

Hard to not fall in love with that kind of shot and don't say bravo. But you don't need to preach to the choir 😉

Does it have to be a rotor....

Wow! The Monaco V4 Tourbillon. May be not the nicest "rotor" but without any doubt a very well thought out one. That makes me think to Corum with its linear winding system.

I think there was also a Harry Winston with the vertical wind...

The HW Tourbillon Glissière that I didn't know. Your remark about the V4 is interesting because I didn't think previously about this possible problem of noise or bad feeling on the wrist

That was the one I was thinking of... cool looking piece!

So did you stop sports to avoid that kind of annoyances? 😉

Seems fine for scuba diving... [nt]

Very true... if they're really waterproof

This one isn't too shabby either

.

Too "rococo" for me but interesting for sure

VC eye candy

And this one no?

LOL, I had that exact picture

I posted it because it was the picture I had with your answer 😉

For me it's easy...

Very well played my friend. Very well played 😉

this is considered insider trading in my field!! :)

Where's the SEC when you need it? 😁

Triple sec? ;) [nt]

Almost yes 😁

As you know I like Vianney Halter watches😉

Very nice my friend. I didn't think to this one which is perfect in this thread (no problem for the shot as long as you make reference to the owner's shot 😉)

They do indeed😃!

You too my friend

PSM for me too!!!

A stunner! 👍

Thanks alkiro!

I think about one. May be one day

Just got my watches back from storage

The GO one offers a very nice symmetry that I love a lot. Regarding the Vianney Halter one, it's just sublime and very well thought out for me

Am I too late? Not a good shot but great movement.

Never too late for enjoying 😉

Not the nicest

Many thanks Henry for your input.

Have been on hols with family, so missed this post...

Each time I see this PSM rotor, I'm... 🤤😁

Good question, I don't believe so, although I do think it is the first mystery rotor...

Shh Tim! Never reveal the trick of a watchmaking magician 😁

Might as well update this thread with Paul Gerber's Double and Triple Rotor watches
