Have a nice weekend and invite you to share your favorite KIS watch/watches. Best, Abel

.. your Reverso TT1931 (a reference we share); the IWC Ingenieur for sure is a pleasure to see and wear ! Last but not least I also liked your early Rolex KIS specimens, such as the Ranchero & DJ examples, especially tha last Datejust pic of your series, ... 

I´m happy to know you liked my choices to open the KIS watch event and I´m always thankful for your so kind comments on my posts. I wish you enjoyed your weekend and will have a nice week ahead. Best cordial regards, Abel.

No need to chose a watch, as each one is to be kept!

Thanks for hosting this month and great theme BTW. Here’s a few from the archives and also something from Mrs K… HAGWE 🍻 ...  

This is a great watch. I own the brown dial version and enjoy it so much too. Great underwater shot. And a lovely contribution from Mrs. K and her OP Rolex which epitomizes the KIS watch concept. Hagwe! Abel

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak ref. 5402, here the A-3x from June 15, 1972 Cheers, HSTE ...  

... a superb example of the watch watch which started the Royal Oak Legend! The dial patina adds to its charm and interest of this timeless design. Keep enjoying it so much and thank you so much for sharing. Hagwe! Abel

Enjoy the weekend!

Good to see this one 👍

Some of my simpler watches, with the JD Grande Heure Minute being about as simple as you can get, not only in function but design. ...  

... to participate in WS as not always have the time needed to shoot special pictures around the Theme. You share some wonderful timepieces here (and details or no less wonderful cars of course). Love your AP KIS watch and of course both of your superb JD... 

This one was granted some wrist time lately. A pleasure to wear and to look at. Thank you for this weeks topic. Best, Ivo ...  

Keep enjoying this charming watch and have a nice weekend! Abel

tapering down to 16 at the buckle. But the watch comes with a second strap (dark blue croc, like usual croc leather lined). Best, Ivo

Especially when it comes from another dimension ;-)) … To infinity and beyond ! … See you all tomorrow folks for another “KIS” selection ! Best Captain ...  

Official timekeeper of: “The United Federation of Planets” Channeling my inner Trekkie😀 Well done Cpt.

Live long and prosper 🖖

I specially like your second shot which captures to perfection the character of this futuristic watch. Enjoy your weekend my dear friend. Look forward to more KIS watches in your collection! Abel

It’s just landed 😉 If you see this guy, let me know ! ...  

It´s space ship looks is very intriguing indeed. A conversation starter for sure. I wish you´ll enjoy it so much my dear friend. Best, Abel

The interesting thing is that this watch is a real conversation starter and I find it very refreshing. It generates less envy and a more positive conversation about watches. I think it should be named “The Friendship”

Time only but looks great

Who needs a date when it looks like this 😉

I’m certainly enjoying a different dimension 🖖

They created something that gives much pleasure. Best regards Captain

A simple 2 hander with an exposed movement. No one does thin like Piaget. Although this lost the title of the thinnest watch many years back, I’ll take the additional mm or 2 for the elegance of the dial. The Traditionelle Small Seconds is still a “go to”...  

Incredible. 🙏🏻

I’ve had fun an over the years picking them up along the way.

You share superb KIS watches here fitting in the Theme, even if their stunning dials are not really simple. A gift for the eyes. I can understand your fondness for your beautiful Santos by Cartier. Beautiful collection! Thank you so much for sharing. Hagw... 

The Santos Dumont has such a rich history with Cartier - first wrist watch - arguably the first sports/aviation watch too. Definitely one of my favorites!

Very good point about the VC.

The Vacheron is such a beautifully simple watch - with an outstanding movement. I’ve had this white gold one for many years. I must say that I do like the boutique only grey dial model, but had already jumped in when this one was released.

The Grönefeld is another one of my favorites. For the longest while I thought I’d go for the 1941 Remontoire- but the symmetry of the Principia won me over 😊

...  

Keep enjoying and loving it so much. Hagwe! Abel

The Explorer is just too cool not to include!

...  

The Tudor is a very versatile, tough and reliable timepiece which I wear very often. Enjoy your watches and weekend my friend! Best, Abel

I always find the simple to be just as beautiful and inspiring as the complicated (with a splash of coolness of course)!

My wife loves her Cartier Tank XL, mom's custom Rolex, left-handed dad wearing his Rolex destro... plus simple ol' me with the Czapek. Family, togetherness, love... it's so simple and so very important. Enjoy your time. ...  

... about what is Important in life. I always remember your post about the purchase of the Destro GMT for your Dad. Nice shot! Thank you so much for your entry! Hagwe, Abel

Btw mom passed about four months ago. So yes, the photo is from a very happy family moment.. together.
