but we always know that it will be something special...what a beauty ! That moonphase is simply breathtaking.... HAGWE Jeff

Glad you appreciate a watch like that. I really like 'different time reading' models. GEO

can i clarify please, is that a day/night indicator or a moonphase? best Graham

Hi Graham, Thanks! You're very right, it's just a Day & Night indictor, no moon phase. Ciao. GEO

and sun shining on my watch......  

of a marvelous piece...

These chocolate counters have to be eaten! Best, Nicolas

On my wrist is this beauty that hasn't left my wrist since i got it. There is always something new to see and she wears soooooo comfortable...  

one day. The back is as stunning as the front. very nice Frank! GEO

Sorry for the lousy picture.. Regards Mark...  

That rotor looks so good. IMHO The whole thing turns around, not just the lower part, that makes it so different. Very cool watches these Sarpaneva K2 and K3. GEO

The rotor is fully skelletonized and Sarpaneva used 2 white gold masses at one end of the rotor, leaving a small gap in between. He also drilled a hole in the mainplate, right underneath the date window... and since the datewheel is a disc with hand cut n...  

Yes George... the rotor is all round and moves due to the two white gold masses

a hole in the rotor behind the date is such a simple solution to improve its clarity yet so effective. Graham

One of the many great memories from my years in Russia today; the investment actually doubled when I put a nice calf strap on it The "Flying tank" from Aviator on the wrist today. Have a good weekend! Regards Mark...  

Thats a beautiful piece of artwork!

when I think it's an alarm watch? GEO

You are correct - it is an alarm watch. Crown at 4 o'clock is used for winding / setting the time, crown at 2 o'clock is used for winding / setting the alarm. regards Mark

i think Russian watches are very under rated the same as some of the better chinese brands. what does the alarm sound like in comparison to a Seiko bellmatic or JLC? best Graham

My Hublot Ice Bang will be my companion for this weekend. Regards, Gerard...

I started the day early with my Ollech & Wajs MP2801 The Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Grande Taille tonight...  

. . . would you be able to tell us a little about the company and why this watch appeals to you? Thanks, Art

Ollech & Wajs were established in 1956 by Albert Wajs and Joseph Ollech. They mainly made divers and pilotwatches, not very expencive, but with relable robust movements. O&W closed down about 1980. In 1979 Albert Wajs bought 500 cases and parts from Willy... 

sounds interesting. Will have to do some research on this I love this "hobby", because you never know what comes around ... Thanks! Oliver

. . . I was familiar with the brand, but my sense is that relatively few on TP/PPro had heard of them . . . your comments are much appreciated. Cordially, Art

With thanks to Daos for the Transformers tag line. Have been enjoying this fast-ticking Longines from the late 1960's all week. Andrew...  

. . . and in impeccable condition, too. I think you might have company from our East Coast today with another recently acquired vintage Longines . . . cordially, Art

Thanks Art, I have a short-list of vintage pieces I keep my eye out for, but this Longines was an unexpected find. It was an immediate attraction though when I got that tingly feeling that this was something I could enjoy. One of the nicest things about i... 

...from your collection, Andrew! HAGWE! Daos

...  

These Speake Marin's have such a great appeal. What an incredible watch this is. Geo

Thanks LVT, I am very impressed with this. It is channelling some of the rawness in design of the early Journe tourbillons but is beautifully finished. You are going to have to show us many more photos of this. Thanks again! Andrew

Usually i'm no keen on visible tourbillons, but this is one of the most beautiful examples i've ever seen! Congrats

. . . prior preferences, predilections, and prejudices get thrown out window! I've never been aesthetically drawn to Peter's work before, although I greatly admire his accomplishments, and I've never found this genre of design (let's call it the 'Breguet'... 

I have also admired PSM’s work, but very few models/versions have actually sparked that feeling of wanting to own it one day. This tourbillon is in a whole other category. Still not certain about the crown, although it is an obvious signature for th...

... but the moonphase has been a long time favourite and you captured it beautifully. Nice shirt too. It is a rose gold case? Andrew

It was a long time I didn't have the pleasure to view your pics and your impeccable taste in ...Shirts! )) Best, my friend. Nico

What a lovely watch, Oliver! Congrats and wear it in good health

Hi Oliver, you always have such a great taste for combining objects and clothes. The watch fits the shirt perfectly. GEO

And don't forget to come back four our GTG! Best, Nicolas

with that shot, this is the first and only Lange watch that I absolutely adore. And in platinum, what a watch. S t u n n i n g shot! GEO

I know your tastes for original and technical watches, so this Zeitwerk may seem made for you! Best, Nicolas

did you order the LE PT model Nicolas? Edwin

I'm seriously thinking about how to fund it. YES. Best, Nicolas

or not? If not I would give him a call immediately! Edwin

. . . with Consiglieri Patrice on your left and Don Asi on your right . . . the money will be yours, no questions asked! Cordially, Art

i've always said that if i won the lottery anyone could give me a brand and i could name the 1 watch i would want to buy. this would be the lange for me. best Graham

Yup, it's confirmed, you're a bad influence to me! Now I couldn't stop thinking about this watch! That watch looks d**m cool on your wrist my friend! To be honest, when I first saw the pix, it didn't really strike me much, but I think it a watch which gro...  

you which never came? Pls check again pal. Mech.

Nicolas, please pick this one up so I can live vicariously through you! I really enjoy this piece. Although, I prefer the WG version over the platinum (in pictures at least). This watch has a unique and marvelous dial. Love it! Cheers, Daos

Seriously, I will also have to see it in WG, with this black dila, to have an opinion about it... Best, Daos. Nicolas

the 24 h dial varion. Best! -- Richard.

Have a great weekend Cheers...
