Horological Meandering

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

Thanks for the heads-up. Looking fwd to Pt.2.

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

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

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.

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

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...  

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... 

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.
