While you took a shot of your LF, I was taking a shot of my Breguet on the Berck beach ;-)
But your sand was more sunny than mine LOL Best wishes Alkiro ...
This art deco inspired ...
stepped case with the curved lugs and formed movement rocks my boat! Cheers fernando ...
A Monster! For sure FV has a unique case shape...Diamond lugs
Must shine in the light! Was this a regular series or a special order from FV? Thanks for sharing...Mike
Yup, absolutely beautiful multi tiered design rocks!
Thanks for sharing that Lange Best, Mike
Such a forgotten watch.
The case is so intricate, understated, but with typical German massiveness. Great choice.
Fab ALS, I've allways had a soft spot for the Cabaret.
In fact the RG with moonphase is superb and one that's on the dream list... Brilliant photos BTW! Cheers, Tim
Ground hog day
Hi Well I'm afraid it's back to rectangular cases again Though there's also round with a difference HAGWE Cheers JML ...
You know the Reverso is such the classic
watch case design...truly innovative. And the Patent proves it Best Mike
great to see
so many different cases. For me a "classic". A relatively "young" design that has proven itself to be timeless. Where the history of the submariner dates back 20+ years before the Nautilus was born, the Nautilus was quite a radical design. The "porthole" ...
Genta was such a forward thinking
designer when it came to his watches...look at his Gerald Charles line the case shapes...so out there may he rest in peace, happily designing great watches for all the wonderful souls in heaven. Best, Mike ...
Easy reply: the case designed by me! :-D
Hi all! I've chosen this picture, never published on the Internet, because it shows some of the 349SPORT's subtle distinctive traits. The overall asymmetry, the signs of the machine on the titanium (look the bezel at 7!) and the concave carrure, for examp...
You had a very bold vision
Thanks for sharing that special picture! It is not easy to pull off an asymmetic design but you did it. The subtle changes catch your eye, initially I thought it was just perspective or angle of the camera causing those changes, but know that I know it is...
You're right, Mike...
Without my exceptional case maker, a true Maestro and also an authentic friend, my dream could have never become a reality. My biggest THANK YOU! goes to him.
Personally...
I love watch case designs that comes from 60es to 80es, They're all unique but in a good way! Well... Like this manhattan design that looks bit dressy and sporty. I love how well the circular brushed finishing done on bezel's top and side while separated ...
You know if I didn't know better I would think you are Art's (Dr. No) twin :-)
I think he probably would have shown one of his vintage Omegas too! Best, Mike
After almost 50 years....
Look at this case.... Unique shape with lots of edges.... Still sharp edge Isn't this mirror-like polish? This is what SEIKO made in early 70s, with SS by forging 10-15 times, and then machining 1mm, and polish with special machine by who has special skil...
Drool...
This is one beautiful VFA. Thank you for enlightening me about Seiko's casemaking in the 70s Best, Mike
Fit for purpose
One of the first attempts at creating a Waterproof case - the Borgel. Here with another favorite case element - the shrapnel guard. ...
Excellent trench watch collection. IIRC this year is 100th anniversary of WWI
so Happy 100th birthday to your trench watches! Warmest, Mike
damascene steel?
I missed hearing about that option! Those are super short lugs, I bet they almost are invisible when you are looking straight on the watch. Very Cool, Mike
Clean and simple...
Master Grande Taille from Jaeger-LeCoultre. Best Regards Livius ...
An unusual integrated strap and case...
The strap goes right through the case... magic! HAGWE! ...
Gives new meaning to unusual in watch case world
Didn't have a clue it looks like this Amazed D P.S. Question...unavoidable....how you change strap?
Cool Manatee...Ikepod always had strong casework and provocative dial.
nice examples of the Manatee are getting harder to find, Thanks for sharing Best, Mike
C square
Looks like I'm partial to C shape and square shape cases rectangular are not bad either but I can't deny I love sensuality the epitome of it HAGWE D ...
Hello Mike! Interesting theme!! Truth is that we usually...
... think on dials and movements but bezels, case shape and design as well as case backs are aspects that add to the beauty and attractive of a timepiece. Speaking of cases I have two favorites: those of vintage Submariners with their sharp polished bevel...
I like the Grand Seiko
It looks very similar to Ken's VFA from the 1970s. I guess it goes to show that if the design was successful in the 1970s it's still be successful today
Thank you Mike!! Yes, the inspiration is there! ...
... though the present GS exhibits a more intricate combo of angles and surfaces. The polishing is awesome! I like the present GS line so much! Hagwe! Abel
Ha ha ha!! No no my friend. This one is among...
... Dexter's blood samples for a few years now! You just lost track of my many "crimes" ! Lol! Un abrazo mi amigo!! Abel
My favorite case for a number of years now,
Not just the classic shape of the case but also the embellishment . Regards H. ...
Thanks Alkiro, it's still one of my fav. case/lug/crown designs
Truly, the ability of Independent Watchmakers like Peter, not only to be able do all the amazinginside watchmaking works, but also design and execute a lovely classical watch, is why I find their work so compelling. Cheers, Tim
Two beauties for sure
It is interesting to see how PSM's case has changed over the past decade Hope all is well in solana beach Mike
Indeed Mike, an evolution for sure...
Good to hear from you! To me though the original 38mm is still the best version... All the best from sunny Solana Beach, Cheers, Tim
Mike, what an interesting theme this week...
...so let me see what I have... Let's focus on the ones with these special cases that make me excited... I apologize as I realize there are quite a few... I don't think I need to present them as they are recognizable even if not all are so common... What ...
Wonderful!!
As I started to look your post I was like kid in toy shop this case...no this one...no no no that one...nooooo definitely that one... all of them daddy!!!! If arm twisted that salmon dial Gondolo Patek case...oh la la! Yours D
LOL ! Thanks for your kind words Damjan !
I totally agree that this small PP 5024 is so charming, neither complicated nor expensive vs some others but so charming, I love it too. BTW, did you notice that one special one is missing although having a wonderful case shape (as well as a wonderful mov...
Yes since a while, I jumped unforseenlybon a opportunity...
...when a german merchant got one full set with the original box with the small loupe. It was in excellent collection but the oils were dry so I sent it for a full service and had a new strap made. I now have a like new one, it is an impressive piece of a...
Yum, absolutely love that vintage V&C
Yellow gold with a black dial and the case is exquisite! Thanks for sharing, Tim
Thanks for your kind words Tim
Actually, this is the only one from my post which is not mine. My friend who owns it has a number of great vintage pieces. I agree that this VC is particularly attractive in this perfect condition after so many years (but unrestored). The case shape is se...
Magnificent collection!
OMG you really have a refined taste! From the Mercador to Patek. All great cases Best, Mike
