The combination of a pure classic - the Reverso - and a colourful and eye-catching red dial is a sort of an ambivalent statement: here I am ready to oblige to the conventions of this occasion, nonetheless intending to preserve my personal expression. At l... 

Superb Fernando. Very nice indeed Cheers Robin

I also love to wear the a Rouge for festive occasions because it can be so festive itself. (Mine only has the problem that now a GO Chronometer is in the house. ) There are few steel watches that will play the festive game as the Rouge does. Have a great ...

Good luck, the watch manufacturers are not superstitious and do not prevent the simultaneous indication of "Friday" and "13" as some hotels which do only have a 12th and 14 th floor and no room number 13. Otherwise you could miss the warning information. ... 

My Wongraph Wore it most often for weddings this year With the lovely flowers at the reception With my wife\'s Cartier ballon bleu during the dinner With my brother-in-law\'s Montblanc Star Roman Cheers Robin ...  

Not easy to please you with colored metals. Glad you like the Wongraph Cheers Robin

Well, Robin, any festivity can come - and your relations as well, being provided with such lovely timepieces! Your datograph makes the heart of a German watch enthusiast beat a bit faster . Kind regards and thanks for sharing anaesdoc

Wong family getting poisoned by me on watches lol Cheers Robin

And make up a very festive watch. A convincing choice to wear for weddings. Have a great weekend and bye, Martin

I love my -Tissot desire- even though I must admit I have an apetite for something new and mechanical. HAGWE anaesdoc Edward ...  

Interesting bead patterns displaying birds you show us. Any special significance of them in terms of festivity? Thanks for sharing anaesodc

...this is a Native bead necklace from the region of British Columbia, part of a dress up style wear for different festivities/observances. I aquired it some years ago as a collectors item. I think it photographs well with my Tissot. Cheers Edward

for me. It was my fathers brand choice and it is not the matter of cost rather remembering the model and the metal. Then I would do the hunting ! Apparently there are no photos just vivid memory from my childhood but there are so many similar ones. But, t... 

That looks like a good choice for festive occasions. Have a great weekend and bye, Martin

If the plan is simply to celebrate and enjoy, I reach for this one Joyful weekend to all, Alex ...  

elegant and appropriate evening wear. And like a string character at the same time. Have a great weekend and best regards, Martin

Going to opera: TT Geophysic \'58 Fine companion JLC 1901 in WG for theatre JLC Vintage Chronometre Geomatic - A classic Choice HAGWE to all ! & Best, hs ...  

No message body

To be honest, as much as I like the Geophysic I do more think of it as a tool watch and strongly associate it with adventure, discovery and "action" due to its own story. In that sense it is a bit less a festive watch compared to the MUT or the Geomatic i... 

Yes, Geophysic also an elegant tool; but also soo nice when dressed up.. Best & HAGWE ! hs

Another wristscan post that makes me yearn for a nice vintage watch Cheers Robin

Yes, once you have looked deep enough into the abyss of Vintage.. You have to be veeery careful !! Best & HAGWE ! hs. )

That is a superb set to pick from. Had the chance to test the TT Geophysic for an evening and I was surprised how it could play the elegant card too. (Maybe I should have taken it.....) Have a great weekend and bye, Martin

A fantastic trio which for sure makes any moment much more enjoyable. All the best, Alex

... before, but always a pleasure to show again and tell its little story. It was a nice present from my wife in 1982, a full gold reference 1501 Date. It is note very safe to wear an Steel Rolex down here in my City, much less a full gold one! So I reser...  

And just the stuff I was hoping to elicit: a special watch (I would not dare to carelessly wear it in my town as well), your wife´s precious gift in at least two respects and two precisely defined festive occasions when you take it out! I vaguely remember... 

And a gift from your wife. Must be a special watch Cheers Robin

Always a great solution to meet every occasion from jeans at the BBQ to suit at the Opera. HAGWE Bill

... your kind comments! Very cordially, Abel.

Thank you for sharing that story, it is so great to hear about watches with those very special family ties.

HAGWE! ...  

not a gift, but but a festive watch nonetheless.

Love the Christmas colors Cheers Robin

Nice bow-tie and watch combos! Well, 828 happened to be my birthday, so I did some celebration with my birthday present watches (yeah, I bought them my self - who else would?) :-) A little bit too many, I am so sorry.... But, hey, it's my birthday! Please...  

Seldom see the Rolex Sub Smurf here Love the blue and white gold Cheers Robin

Ken, my best wishes - although slightly belated - for your recent bithday! Your birthday gifts are spectacular and definitely something that merits being shared. Enjoy wearing your new timepieces on whatever solemn or everyday occasions! Best regards anae... 

It is evident that you enjoyed a fantastic celebration! Cheers, Alex

I just with it were someone else who bought me those presents :-))))) Thanks, Alex! Ken

. . . around mid-October ;-) . . .

my dear friend I'm too days late but I think it is never too late for goof wishes Here's to many more Yours D

that way but for events which require a suit, most often it is the IWC Port. For occasions that can be more casual/informal, I would say anything goes. Have a good weekend, SF ...  

I actually like many of these IWCs - if only they make smaller ones for small wrist guys like me Cheers Robin

Hi S.F, I highly appreciate your choice. This lovely IWC Portugieser (in YG I guess) will pair extremely well with a suit sleeve and shirt cuff. You might also wear it with shorts, but my traditional taste feels the first scenario gets it better. However,...

What a piece of art! Thanks for sharing Cheers Robin

"The best guests always come late" - I do not particularly like this saying as I appreciate people being on time. Being unpunctual should not be excused with this dictum. Probably the late guest only seems to be better, because the judgement of the ealier... 

static shot seals the deal! A real beauty. Best, Tim

Enjoying the summer. Bill Rolex 666 ...  

Anything is festive but a 666 makes life much more festive. Cheers, Nilo

Too true: Sea + boat + Rolex 666 = Feast anaesdoc

This is the one that comes out for most dress up occasions... Christmas, Weddings etc. HAGWE all, Cheers, Tim ...  

. . . the effect of aging. There should be a corresponding term for the effect a watch has on its owner after being in his (or her) possession for many years. The Karree perpetuals enthralled from the very first moment; they still do, and more, after twel... 

It has been in the collection for over just 10 years now, and as I think back to the decision to buy it, part had to do with another Purist from the U.K. who helped me by default decide to buy it. I am glad I did. I actually don't think he knows why, and ... 

Your PSM is a truely festive watch, Tim. I could not help giving the letters a new meaning :-). Best regards anaesdoc

It is a keeper, as I derive enormous pleasure from wearing this beauty. Thanks, Tim

After I have waited for the Senator Chronometer for six years it is now its turn to wait for the appropriate festive occasions now to be worn. I am going to save it for the special occasions because it is so dear to me. Here it on its way to the G.O. Pres...  

. . . when an endeavor . . . . . . approaches perfection. The Senator Chronometer, for instance . . .

It gets very, very close to what I think is the essence of watchmaking. And I somehow feel honored that the watch chose me ;-) Warmest regards, Martin

6 years of waiting for a watch, that´s a long time indeed! But den GO Senator Chronometer is worth while waiting ("www"), one of my favourites from GO. The single property that prevents me from waiting for it - the size is slightly too big for my wrist. S... 

When the Chronometer was launched I had been in watches for only three years. (I define the acquisition of a Speedy Pro as the begin of my watch nutness.) I fell in love with the GO Chronometer immediately but in the sense of an unreachable dream. So yes,... 

I see what you mean, Martin. Nonetheless it means that your fascination for this watch did not abate with time, but stood the test of time instead. Well, the 42 mm diameter in a dress watch seems to be quite large for my 17,5 cm wrist. I think I can wear ...
