This watch is one of my favourites and I would chose it to wear for the coronation because I wore it a few years ago to attend, as one of 8,000 guests, our late Queen Elizabeth's Buckingham Palace Royal Garden Party to share that honour with her tea and cakes. Two old pictures from that sunny May day attached below. Earl grey, just with a squeeze of lemon juice please!
Have a great weekend celebration.

Happy memories Clive …
I’m sure you will remember that moment forever. I love you photos of the day And your choice of timepiece. Best regards Captain
A British coronation requires a British watchmaker
My PSM perpetual calendar seems like a fitting choice. ...
Welcome to WristScan toddg…
That’s an excellent choice, have you had this one for many years ?
Thanks
I have had this one for a long time (15+ years). I got it when Peter was still there. He was very helpful in guiding me through the process.
I wish Peter was still involved with the business …
So much promise as a watch maker.
What a fabulous piece!
And one seen as often as the coronation, it seems - a true rarity 👌🏻👏🏻🙌🏻
The crown of my collection would be on my wrist
Vianney Halter Classic I would drive our Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas, in Westminster Blue and cream (chosen to match the one I saw Margaret Thatcher depart in, from #10 Downing St about 30 years ago) and I would remember the fine day when my dear friend and for...
Well thought out Mike …
Getting your watch and car sorted first. The Vianney Halter Classic is a great choice for this special occasion and your car would be a perfect stately ride to Westminster Abbey. Blanche and her family look splendid to received her OBE from the Queen. Wel...
What fine choices !.. What class & finesse, both- watch & car !
Your Vianney Halter truly is a sublime watch & I as well love your Jaguar Vanden Plas ! Continue to enjoy both of these in the Best of your health ! Kind regards, 😊😊
I would travel in my right hand drive Mercedes CL 500 from the UK ...
... here is a rather nicely shot of it, caught speeding. In Germany the passenger must be blocked/blackend on camera shots, but in my car I am sitting on that side. 😃 Love your VH watch!!! ...
The excuse that you were late for the coronation…
Hopefully got you out of the ticket? 🤞🏻😉
As always, a fantastic story to go with the watch and car 👌🏻
The Classic is a fabulous choice - possibly my favorite watch in your collection. With a cool story of its own, right? Watch for a car, right? 🙌🏻👌🏻👏🏻
Given the History... and the Names involved here...
The Royal Oak is the answer for the Lady and I. We have the history of the term "Royal Oak". We have that fact that the King-to-be involved was Charles II. In the highly unlikely event we were invited to the Coronation, these would be worn. ...
If I could be so lucky that I could attend at the cerenomy
I would wear my Tonda PF Gmt. Rattrapante without a heartbeat because the King will wear his very own Parmigiani and because the Greenwich Mean Time and because of the hopefully beautiful sunny weather! God bless the King! Terrific thread, my dear Captain...
Good choice Adam ….
I was hoping we would see a Parmigiani especially as The King is very fond of his. Well played !
Splendid choices Hans …
I really like your pictures as they have a real sense of occasion, perfect for a royal event.
Hello Hans! You can’t never go wrong with your Zenith or Omega classy wristwatches!
Great shots to share them! Hagwe! Abel
Hello dear Captain!! Let me say I feel very excited with …
… the possibility of viewing this most historical celebration tomorrow. I was just four years old when the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 so I obviously can’t remember that event. If I had the privilege of being invited to the Royal Coronation t...
What a wonderful choice, dear Abel !.. I truly love your 7027 !
Your various shots are sublime and exhibit true class !! - The last three pics are simply fabulous ! Well done, my friend ! 😊😊
Very smart choice, dear Abel!
A time only watch, but with a twist: simple time telling but with all the wheels exposed. 😃
Thank you so much dear Count Moritz! I´m happy to know you liked my choice. You describe it so well. This is an amazing watch which I love so much.
I felt it´s a watch fit for a King. God Bless Charles III !! Have a superb weekend my dear friend. Abel
A Tradition for the tradition…
Great choice Abel - love the watch you chose (one of very few I would consider in YG) 🙌🏻👌🏻
Welcome dear friend …
I think your Breguet looks beautiful and I’m sure King Charles would be delighted to read your thoughts and appreciate your kind words on this special occasion. Best wishes Captain
Thank you so much dear Captain for your so kind words. I followed the Ceremony yesterday and I would have loved to be there to feel in person this historical event.
I wish the King would read my little humble message. By the way: I was thrilled with the air parade including some WWII airplanes and also modern aircraft and the Red Arrows pass! I wish you have enjoyed this weekend so much my dear friend.
It would
have to be my Smith’s Cheltenham, Wedgwood St. George’s cuff links and a choice English beverage 😀 ...
To be frank I can’t care less about the coronation or the monarchy for that matter
And this has caused multiple arguments between me and the misses. But if I do attend the coronation, it would be this. I mean it says on the dial after all. ...
As you are wearing the Crown …
I’m sure The King would arrange a private visit to the Tower Of London 😉 What would your wife choose ?
In this honorable ceremony
Some things should be elegant and aesthetic so I select this open worked ...
Hello Chaiwat! An stunning timepiece you have chosen: elegant and beautiful no doubt. An awesome presence on the wrist. A great choice I feel.
Thank you for participating and sharing this awesome timepiece. Have a nice Sunday, Abel
,,Its good to be the King ,,
This would be a very good option to wear on a special day like this the Corum RR But the current King of watchmaking is RR (Rexhep Rexhepi ) imho But any watch will do imho and i have already seen some gorgeous choices here👌🏻🤗 ...
Both very fitting choices…
Is there a vintage RR in the garage to go with the watch? 😊🤞🏻
I would love to see the Corum RR …
On King Charles wrist. That’s a good call my friend. 👏👏👏
Hmmhh.. Let me see, how to play..
😉 I ‘ll be decided to present several options, hope that’s ok.. A quite modest selection, JLC Master Calendar Blue Splendid Guilloche & RG Breguet Calendar Moonphase Breguet as festive choice A potential modern choice - Tribute to Geophysic Guess, tha...
Hello dear friend HS! You are sharing some superb choices for such a regal event happening today. To own a superb collection like yours always provokes a big dilemma (I must recognize...
... it is the type of dilemmas I love to have! Lol ! ): the dilemma of choosing just one among several first class choices. I absolutely love your triple date -date sautante- JLC. An under the radar presence on the wrist but recognized by the connosieur. ...
Hello my dear friend !.. Thx for your as ever nice comments..
.. You always are so kind & thoughtful ! And finally yes, as you rightfully commented, Out would either be the RG Breguet Calendar or my beloved JLC Vintage Geomatic.. I realize, you probably know my watch tastes pretty well ! 😉 HAGWE & Best, 😊😊 ...
Always my big pleasure to view and comment my dear friend HS!
Ah yes! I know your watch tastes as they are so similar to mine! 😉 ☺️☺️☺️ Hagwe my dear friend!! Cheers!!🥂🥂 Abel
Beautiful and well thought through choices, as always 🙌🏻👌🏻
Am actually quite smitten with the first - the dial color here really makes a huge difference (for me) 👏🏻🙌🏻👌🏻
Welcome dear HS …
I think you just gave King Charles a shopping list for his Watch collection ! All your choices would fit in perfectly. Best regards Captain
Hello dear KM …
I like all your choices but particularly your gold JLC, perfect for the occasion ! Best regards Captain
Dear Captain, this is hopefully a rare opportunity to make this theme real.
As soon as I saw your announcement, I started thinking which one would be the right choice. It was a tough one. First of all I thought of JLC as a reminiscence to the queen’s coronation. Another one would be a Breguet with its rich history, and Heritage a...
Hello GDG25! A great choice you share here in a couple of great shots: a very romantic one showing it among white roses and a second one very creative including the new King in the...
... background. This is a neo vintage watch of beautiful classic design. Well chosen! Have a nice weekend! Best, Abel
Dear Abel, thank you for your kindness.
I’m glad you liked it. Wish you a pleasant weekend.
You are welcome dear GDG!
Thank you for your kind good wishes. Best cordial regards Abel
