Thanks, so some reason I though it had already been posted in Meanderings long time ago? This platform is still unfamiliar to me 
I am sure there will be another contest or something where I can share images of these watches again. I remember Walter Von Kanel was quite interested in my watches when I visited St. Imier. We took one appart just to see how it works, I wish I had thought about photographing it then. Obviously it has some special parts that go throught the entire watch and a few extra gears. Very unusual complications for 1910s. I believe the original movement was designed in 1890s and then later made into an automotive watch.

The WS for April - ‘Behind the Wheel’ is live 🏁
As mentioned on Wednesday, this month’s WS theme is ‘Behind the Wheel’. As cars (and other modes of transportation with a similar steering principle) seem to be almost as desirable to most members as watches, the combination seemed a natural fit. Whether ...
Great Opening dear friend KM! Not easy to beat those car related shots and watches you share here. I didn´t remember viewing your LU Chopard 8Hz. Is a new piece in your collection?
Or perhaps my memory is just failing. In any case it is a wonderful timepiece you have captured in these two shots in all its beauty. Thanks a lot for your hosting and enjoy a nice weekend my friend. Will return later with my shots. Cheers, Abel
Thanks so much Abel!
The LUC 8HF has been in the collection for a while and I probably posted it several times - but not sure if here at WS 😊
It has been one of the ‘hopefully I manage to bag one’ watches for many years 👍🏻
And I was extremely happy when I did 😁
Great topic, KMII and what a nice series of your own shots !.. For me, (almost as always, if its there) your great VC and..
.. other than that I love your L.U. Chopard 8Hz Chronometer - what an eclectic, yet splendid watch ‼️ Also enjoyed your Ming specimens, already makes a real focus withn your collection, I trust. Although I myself didn‘t have a lot to contribute this time,...
Thanks so much HS111!
I hope your home redecorating went as planned and that you can enjoy some well deserved downtime now 😊👍🏻 And thanks for the kind words - the LUC 8HF is truly an unusual- yet at least to me - fascinating piece 👍🏻
Thanks a lot - glad you think so 😊👍🏻
The car studio is often the simplest way to make a shot of one is too lazy to put real effort in 😉
Well, the cost to keep tracking / racing the Formula 2000 SCCA kinda cut into my horology budgeting.
Tho i did wear the Bell&Roos very first release BR03-92, very handy at the track and easy to read. Funny thing is, she's now 18 years old, been subjected to over 30 races including some very harsh rain conditions... never serviced(!)... and still keeps gr...
That’s pretty cool combo 👌🏻👍🏻
For period correctness, the car would need to be in Guards Red 😁🎈
Cars and Watches, does it get much better than this? I think not.
Three On Three When I purchased these shoes, I didn’t realize the colors matched. Fun color combo The Brumos livery on the 70’s era Porsche bonnet looks nice in my garage. I do love an after market strap. Classic Casio Not a typical diving watch Sold this...
KILLER shots Larry! I especially enjoyed the 1st
And I love the vintage hood mounted in your garage wall 👍🏻
I just went back and re-read your post
Those shoes are so cool Larry, matched perfectly to your watch. Well done on this Wrist Scan theme! 👍🏻
Beautiful selection among which I particularly
like the Polar and Monaco. Best, Emmanuel
Love this WS Category 🚘 Cool shots everyone! 👍🏻
Just a few quick ones. The shifter and Roundel are from my very first BMW, a 2008 328 with Sport Pack. The OEM shifter was too tall so I replaced with the pictured short throw sport knob. When I turned it in for another 3 series, the Roundel somehow poppe...
Great shots and nice story 👌🏻👍🏻
I can very much relate to the connection that you described for the 328 - cars tended to be more - dunno - emotionally connected back in the day 😊
I feel the need for speed :-)) …
Dear friends, Good to hear at WristScan with a few shots for our automotive theme …. The GTO … Classic Jaguar …. Pure joy … Back later friends ! Best Captain ...
What an incredible opening, Captain 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Three heavy hitters both from the automotive and horological perspective 🦾👍🏻

Being that if you don’t drive around it, you simply drive over it 😂
Too tempting of a proposition xD

Not on this occasion,
just the kids in the back, but it's actually a She, and she's far better known in Europe than in the US - that's why she lives here ....
But not keen on driving over things, is she? 😂
You reminded me of a funny story. Not naming names but in a company I was closely acquainted with there were two colleagues in one country organization that did not at all get along. As performance was suffering they decided to meet up for dinner after wo...
Hawhawhaw
In her instance, there is quite literally no better known motorsport brand than the one her father created! Not only does she not like being driven remotely fast, she actually gets nauseous - the ultimate ironies of life........ 😉
Did Enzo have daughters? 😉
That’s true, though - the ironies of life. Niki Lauda once said his most stressful time has always been in Brazil - more specifically the taxis there. The taxi drivers would universally recognize him and then try to prove how good they were and hence driv...

Balkans x). By the way, my ethnic brother, you are so on the nose with who my client is, all I'll add is that she is half Serbian as well (which I'm sure improved my chances of getting the job in the first place), and her dad is the MacDaddy of the fastes...
