No I am not specifically a fanatic of signed dials, but it happens by chance that 2 of my watches have Wempe and Tiffany signature on the dial.
One is a very discrete signature on a quite understated watch. I just love it (5125 R Limited Edition 125 pcs made in rose gold)
The other is not boxing in the same category but has a lot of charm to my eyes (and really not only because of the Tiffany logo on the dial).
It just happens to be there and makes this watch quite exclusive. The risk that I see anybody having the same watch as mine is quite narrow I think (at least in this condition).
From previous comments I understand that not many of our friends are fond of these signed dials.
Sorry if you do not appreciate them but I do.
Thank God not everybody on earth has the same taste.
Cheers,
Mike
Patek and (Wempe / Tiffany pieces)
I know this subject has been discussed in the past; but I wanted to share some of my opinions and see what other colleagues think. I am personally not in favor of Tiffany (or for that matter, any other end retailer) putting their logo on the watch dial. I...
I also think this adds unnecessary clutter. I steer away from Tiffany dials. however
i think Tiffany is a great brand and make some beautifully designed pieces. I have bought many nice things for my partner there and it's always a nice shopping experience. Unlike other jewellery retailers they don't just show you what they think you can a...
What is (somehow, sometimes) "ok" for vintage ...
is a NoGo for new ones, at least for me. As my grand aunt used to say: "I already paid for it, why should I accept advertising from them?" Oliver
todays marketing gimmick
Tomorrows special auction catalogue pieces! I agree with your position and that of your great aunt. It seems odd on a new watch. But ok on a 2499! Gary
I love them!
I think they're so special. However, these were also made in different times, when pieces are affordable and allocated to "regular collectors", unlike the current climate.

Love that Tiffany Rolex, Mike.
Maybe not so much with the wide Wempe typeface, though, but gotta love that 5125. I don't mind a double logo as I, too, have a Tiffany signed Patek. I am also a designer so I can appreciate any design that is still aesthetically pleasing. When it is discr...
Love the 5125R!
One of my favorite Patek dials. So beautiful! More pictures pleeeeease. ;)
Pictures of 5125R requested: here you are!
Change of bracelet exercise: Yes indeed, this watch is a beauty: the quite discrete Wempe signature is certainly not harming the perfect design of the dial, and the case design so perfect with fluid lines: But the back side also is a beauty with the 315 S...
Pleeease, stop it !
Hi Mike, Are you such a nasty boy for re-posting pics of your Wempe ? As you allowed me to put it at my wrist for a while, I can say that this watch is just an absolute killer ! Classy, ultra classy, discrete but a visible beauty, balanced oh so beautiful...
