How not to love your beautiful four Seasons postcards my dear friend HS?
Charming timepieces you are sharing this weekend.
I feel it’s very interesting to view how we watch lovers feel each Season through our watches.
Your cold shot on a hot day well epitomizes the answer to the challenge of the Theme this weekend.
Great choices and shots my friend! Thank you so much for your participation!

Hello friends! I have the pleasure to be your host for this edition starting today Friday 22nd and ending on afternoon of Sunday 24th. The Theme is "Four Watches - Four Seasons". The challenge is to share with us four watches of your collections which you...
Dear Abel,
let’s play Vivaldi’s Four Season: 1.) Summer Easy choice, something easy to wear: 2.) Autumn Love the watch, love the mood of the season: 3.) Winter Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow: 4.) Spring From my favourite german Brand: Who needs more for the 4...
Hello Adam!! Great post... you played Antonio Vivaldi´s Four Seasons so well!! Beautiful watches you share each connected with a different Season we live.
All of them wonderful... I´m specially fond of your Autumn choice: the Reverso... the dial texture and the date moon phase complication add to the warmth and charm of this fine timepiece. Thank you so much for answering our challenge this weekend! Hagwe! ...
My Autumn watch: Panerai Pam 968 Bronzo brown dial…
… and brown ceramic bezel insert. I automatically associate the color of its case, dial and bezel with the colors of earth, leaves and tree bark during the Fall Season. Yes, I know it’s a subjective feeling, but this was the idea of the theme of this week...
A perfect watch for the autumn,
Dear Abel! The colours of the watch reminds me the colours of the fallin leaves from the trees… The watch has so much power and presence on your wrist! Wear it in the best of your health! Truly yours, Adam
Thank you so much for your kind comments Adam. Agree with you in the connection with falling leaves. This big watch has always reminded me Fall colors.
Glad to know you like it and appreciate your good wishes so much. Hagwe! Abel
Nice theme
Autumn piece=D my least worn piece. It was made to resemble an autumn moon (i think). If i could turn back time I would have bought a different piece. Spring piece..the bracelet doesn’t like summer so much, as it has no microadjustors. Very comfy though i...
Excellent choices dear Cookies! Thanks a lot for sharing with us. I´m a bit surprised about your comments about your superb GS...
... which I find beautiful but I guess that I can understand you because it has happened to me that I have fell in love with a watch and bought it but then my connection with it was broken very fast. The love was not there anymore. Is that the reason whic...
Great question
A FF 45mm for 5k more, or Breguet type XXI LE for 6k more . Those options would make me smile so hard. Silly me.
Here are the pics of some candidates
I seldom take pics of watches at ADs…must mean quite a lot to have retained these pics in my phone. The Breguet Type XXI LE in orange or green slipped past. My AD called me if I wanted it, but I passed…(oh my I am the silliest person to do so) Panerai pic...
Hi Abel. Here are my choices in the words of the song …. winter, spring, summer and fall!
Winter - Voutilainen GMT-6 Dark tones for the long winter nights Spring - Vacheron Cornes de Vache Lighter tones for the season Summer - Moser Streamliner Centre Seconds To catch the rays! Fall - Journe Chronometre Souverain Havana The tones of autumn lea...
Outstanding choices Timeout!! Thank you for your great entry.
Not easy to choose just one Season among them: the Voutilainen makes me feel those long Winter nights. No need to tell you about my love for the CDV Vacheron which I also own. Lovely Spring watch. Stunning Moser dial catching Summer rays! And the FP Journ...
Many thanks Abel
The CDV is quite the “strap monster”! I particularly like the way that Vacheron take a notch out of the leather on one side of the spring bar end which makes it easier to get the spring bar tool into place. As well as the original Serapian strap that came...
Viewing your shots and straps combos I must agree with you that the CDV is a "strap monster" indeed. The Serapian OEM straps are very well made and classy. I didn´t notice ...
... the notch you mention in my straps. Do you have a picture of this interesting feature? Love the green straps you fitted to this watch. They make a stunning combo! Guess I will need to explore other straps options myself. Keep enjoying it so much Timeo...
Thanks Abel.
Here’s a photo of the grey Vacheron strap showing the notch. The Serapian strap does not have this feature, but all of the Vacheron straps - either calfskin or alligator backed - do. ...
Hello dear Timeout! Thank you so much for taking your time…
… to send me the picture and clarification. It surely is a very practical detail. Best cordial regards Abel
Thanks Captain
Can’t go wrong with this dial. Thinking of getting a burgundy one also
Many thanks HS
Good to see your selection for this week too. JLC doesn’t always get the attention it deserves - your choices are spectacular- and the Habring is a real beauty!
My Winter watch: Grand Seiko Snowflake…
… I find the texture and color of this watch fascinating. Seiko has a knack for making stunning dials. This one makes me feel they magically put some snow there. What a better representation of Winter among the watches in my watch box? ...
Amazing collection
Love it. Could you make a post on it SF? It will be impactful for these are rarely seen pieces.
Hello dear S F!! Superb shots to illustrate your Four Seasons watches!
Thank you so much for your entry! All of them wonderful timepieces connecting you with the seasons. Your Fall shot is fantastic. I have an special fondness for black inserts GMT. They have a classy looks! Stunning combo on your CK 859!! By the way: mine f...
My Spring watch: Speedmaster Racing dial Special Edition for Japan 2004.
I have an special fondness for racing dials on Speedies. Vintage examples presently have price levels which put them in an unreachable shelf for me. This piece though not easy to catch is still affordable and very nice I feel. The bright touches of color ...
As usual a great choice & splendid pics !.. These orange & red elements give it a happy & hilarious touch !
Another one of your Speedy troops ! Cheers !!
Thank you so much for your always so kind comments dear HS!
Glad you like my Spring Speedy. Agree it’s a very joyful timepiece. Hagwe my dear friend!! Abel

The Milgauss looks great …
In you wrist shot and the FIfty Fathoms is perfect for the summer. Well played !
My Summer watch: Rolex Submariner
My personal connection of Summer with watches is made through a diver’s watch as most of my Summers vacations are spent near the sea and the whole season near a pool. Though I love to wear different dive watches in my collection my favorite is the Submari...
What a nice quartet of Submariner-shots !.. I can relate to your love for these Rollies, versatile & robust, as they are, nevertheless with a cololness factor !!
My fav shot is your first with that nifty, yet cool mirror-like reflection ! Well done, as so many times, my friend ! Cheers & HAGWE to you & yours ! 😊😊
Seasonal greetings …
Hello dear Abel and friends ! Spring … For me Spring signals the start of the season for driving classic cars and enjoying the freedom of the road. The Nautilus Chronograph is my personal favourite for this season as the early morning sunshine dances acro...
Some real great pics & watches in your quartet.. My personal favs are your Nautilus Chrono and especially the winter shot with the North Pole/ GMT PAM !!..

... Season of the year which you are sharing with these stunning shots. Enjoy a nice and relaxed weekend my dear friend! Best, Abel
Thank you dear Abel …
I really enjoyed your theme, very thought provoking. Have a great weekend. Best regards Captain
Terrific photos Captain,
especially the Omega Speedmaster: I can feel the mood of Autumn, the colour of the fallin leaves matching perfectly to the Moonshine gold! And the Mercedes 300 SL! Is it also yours?? Adam
Thank you Adam …
The Moonshine gives me a lot of pleasure. The 300 was until a couple of years ago. Best regards Captain
Stunning Panerai
I’ve got a soft spot for Panerai. To me they can do no wrong (even though they did open a can of worms recently on Perezscope)=D
I feel that if you get a good Panerai …
You can have a lot of fun and that’s what our sport should be about…. Pleasure and enjoyment ! ...
I can only participate [vicariously] this week; there’s only hot/humid weather all-year-round where I live.
😓 😥 😅 Summer: sun-baked dial/bezel and lume [ok, it’s all fake patina, but still works]. No date, bc who needs a reminder of when the vacation will end Spring (tapisserie reminds me of cherry blossoms (right season? 🤔 ) Winter (the alcantara-lined bund st...
Thank you so much for your entry Hussam! Glad you liked the Theme. You played it so well. Loved the watches of course (I own three of them myself and they are among my favorites).
The Hanhart has been haunting my horologic soul since it was launched. Guess it is a re issue of a favorite of Mc Queen. Very cool with its bund straps. Nice straps you choose for your racing dial Speedy. Very nice! Keep enjoying your watches all year aro...
Thank you so much for your kind comments Hussam.
Here the WS team aim to make every edition a fun and enjoyable event. Ultimately it is the members enthusiastic participation what allows the success of each edition.
I picked the case material and dial color back in February 2021, and our watch club took delivery of the 10 pieces in December 2021.
It exceeded our expectations. I pushed for including Flyback functionality but…
Great theme, Abel😎
Summer = Seiko Season For Fall another Seiko, though this time Grand, the GS SBGH269 “Autumn” For Winter the GoS Sarek “Ice Blue” And for Spring my Habring² to usher in the green Wishing everyone a great weekend🤙 ...
Thanks Cookies
Patrik has informed me the Ice Blue is one of the hardest to achieve due to the large surface area of the dial and very short window of time to keep the metal heated before the color changes again.
