No doubt about that -- none of these rare handcrafts are obviously daily beaters, but on select occasions they are meant to be worn (and even though I'm happy they keep their value well, the plan is *definitely* for them to never get sold! ;-) Cheers.

WS for the 19th of March - ‘Two Hands’ - is live
Afternoon all, first of all an apology for starting a bit late - an emergency at work prevented me from doing it at noon, as planned. Still, here we go - looking forward to seeing your two hand watches - discs or any other mechanisms are fine, as long as ...
I knew this was a theme you would not find difficult, Nico 😊
And your selection is superb 👌🏻👍🏻
Great watches and shots as usual dear Nicolas!!
That UN Freak has some unusual hands indeed my friend!! Unique and Striking timepiece! Have a nice weekend dear Nicolas! Abrazos!! Abel
Wow !.. As so many times you are flooding us with great shots of your superb choices !
Thx so much & Best, hs PS: for me the PAM Marina Militare and the somewhat exuberant “freaking” UN, pls ! But the PP5110 P ( love that shot with the tickets !) + the red Reverso are no weak contenders as well.
This Lange is a dream!!!!
And I wouldn't turn down the JLC and the Freak either if they were offered to me. 😊 By the way: I didn't even know that you own an AP with a white (!) date window (!) ?? LOLLLLL
As long as it’s two per watch...
Any total is excusable 😁 Especially if it comes in such a great collage 😊👍🏻
That’s an exquisite collection of two handers dear Fabr!!
Not essy to choose just one among them. Though I know one of them occupies a very special place in your heart! Sublime watches all of them indeed! Hagwe! Abel
My pleasure dear Fabr! You have good reasons for your...
... special love for the Boccadasse!! Of course the others are fabulous watches. I wish you’ll keep loving and enjoying all of them so much my friend! Hagwe! Abel
These enamel dials
are watch works of art in their highest form. It’s always a pleasure to be able to look at them. I appreciate your style and individualism. Best Thomas
Thanks my friend, appreciate it. The 5089G (boats on Lake Geneva) is actually wood marquetry, which is impossible to spot in my terrible pictures, but is equally if not more impressive in person! :-)
Here's a closeup which gives a (slightly) better idea, but again pretty far from reality Cheers. ...
Thanks for this great insight, my friend!
Now that you write it, I can remember this wood marquetry technique by Patek. There have already been a few posts about this here on WhatchPro. Is this marvel yours? Cheers back 😊 Thomas
Yep, this is ref. 5089G-020 from the 175th anniversary collection. It represents a postcard of Lake Geneva in 1914 (hence exactly 100 years earlier!) that Philippe Stern had in his office...I was glad to be allocated it via an Italian AD👍
The reason wood marquetry is so rare with Patek is that only one person is authorized to produce these dials for the brand, Monsieur Jerome Boutteçon. They are true marvels -- and I'm now very much looking forward to seeing what Patek unveils in early Apr...
LOL
May I cry a little bit instead of you? 😎 Seriously, I think it's wonderful when also the most beautiful and valuable watches are actually worn. There is nothing more sad than such works of art rotting away in a safe and seen as a mere investment. Best Tho...
My few hander
2 hands De Bethune DB 24 One hand for hours and minutes. Angular Momentum Polyphemos ...

Love the straps you choose for your classy Reverso!! Hagwe! Abel
Two very cool and interesting watches ...
I’m always fascinated with the Angular Momentum Polyphemos.
Two very different...
Yet equally appealing takes on the theme, Brauner 👍🏻 They both show that two hands doesn’t have to mean dressy 😊
Fantastic watches you share here dear Brauner!!
The DB is awesome and I’m specially attracted by the Polyphemos! Hagwe my friend! Abel
Incredibly, my only two hander...
is the Alessi Il Momento designed by the famous Italian architect, Aldo Rossi. I need to do some watch hunting now... ...
Your only two hander dear Jporos but a unique ...

Every architects dream in the eighties 👍
I had several professors who wore this watch.
