the Minerva is such a beauty!
Thanks for sharing with us Livius :) If you have some time, pls share some pics of your Minerva beauty on our Montblanc forum too. :) Many of us are big fans of Minerva watches and movements! Cheers Robin
I have a thing for that Minerva, Livius.
Every time I see your pythagore I can't help but check if any are for sale. Love it and its simplicity. Funny that my collection is a variant of your entire post. God forbid they make me judge this week or you'll I'll be tempted to give you a best again. ...
This weeks theme could not of been better chosen
The first photo is of my newly arrived Patek 5127R and when I say newly I mean yesterday Originally it was fitted on a black strap, but I believe that R/G should been fitted on a brown one. "" "" "" And a quick photo of my other simple three handed every ...
Love that Rolex!!
.. Fabre Leuba is very nice, too! Thanks for sharing your simple, yet very historically important pieces.... Ken
Simple = dull? Simple = puristic!
Dear Ken, looking at the resonance your "Simple" thread recieved until now, it is evident there are a lot of simplicity loving people browsing this site. Whereas "simple" may be used in the sense of dull or plain, I prefer to interpret it in the meaning o...
Simple and beautiful thoughts! :)
And of course watches! Many thanks for sharing them! Yours, Adam
Thanks, Adam for your kind words!
I think many of us share some of these thoughts. The basic idea from the Code of Conduct already mentions it: "Pursuing integrity and perfection in an imperfect world" This forum is a celebration of that commitment to excellence and quality of life." The ...
anaesdoc, you have a beautiful collection……
Simple and classic What more do you need :) Congratulations
Geez... You ARE a simple watch lover :-)
...and didn't know you love string instrument, too.... me, too :-) Thank you for showing your GS, Omega simple collection! Very nice! Ken And, yes, simple=puristic!
Simply said .. Truly lovely Seiko & classic Omega SM.. Not to forget your watchbox.. :))
Really like your interpretation of the theme ! For me: Simple = classic = sober = puristic, yes ! - balanced pleasure.. - Hence, just fine watches - not more, not less.. Cheers & HAGWE !! Best, hs
Thank you, Nicolas, for your compliment!
It is particularly valuable as it is from a great collector like you! And you are right that it took a few years to add some very nice timepieces and to part with some less impressive ones. My best regards anaesdoc
The image of six Omegas and an ancient . . .
. . . jade artifact may be my favorite Wrist Scan image, period. Ever so poignant, anaesdoc. Deeply affected, Art
Ever so kind of you, Art - thanks a lot! And please ...
tell the Static Shot judge :-) Cordially anaesdoc
First "simple" watches: Ulysse Nardin London 1862 Limited Edition
The current Mrs MTF's first gold watch and a year later: I got a matching watch in the series. Only 25 pieces in the world. Ulysse Nardin London 1862 Gold Medal Commemorative Edition. ...
Being myself a man of simple tastes...
... it is easy to find simple watches in my collection. I feel these ones among my favorites qualify for the thread. Can we find simpler timepieces than those with just two hands? (Yeah! single handle watches are simpler than this, but no one in my presen...
It IS good to be simple, isn't it? :-)
... simple watch, simple life... :-) Thanks! Ken
Killing trio!
... explosive rather than simple... nah, kidding. Yes, simple enough, more than enough!! Thanks for sharing! HAGWE Ken
Ah, UG........
... innovation in the simple look.... Another nice one in your big collection! HAGWE! Ken
I had its chronometer cousin . . .
. . . within my grasp once . . . [image credits: mrsnak] . . . but let it go. Regretfully, Art ...
Simple Swiss design by Hans Hilfiker
As it is Wrist Shot Weekend, I had better simply shoot a simple wrist shot...... K.I.S.S. Principle...... Hurrah for Hans Hilfiker ! Truly a PuristS designer. Regards, MTF ...
Ah, that Swiss railroad watch.....
... I should have got one when I was there.... very impressive simplicity and I like it! Ken
Choosing simple watches is....
... a hard task, as you must be consistent in picking something in the ball par of "I like!". A very nice one on your wrist. Thanks! Ken
Aaah, it seems that you found another nice place!
If you ever go to Bastia, I have a good address there, a nice restaurant hold by a purist friend. Have fun, there. Nico, just back from Valence.
Thanks Nico, simple pleasure indeed
Don Camillo!… Ce ne sont que quelques pâtes, Seigneur. :-)
It staggers the imagination . . .
. . . that a watch produced before the age of television would be in such flawless condition. This one must've led a sheltered life, z . . . locked away in a safe, perhaps? Amazed, Art
Thank you Art & KIH
I dunno Art, but I guess that is what they call factory condition. The movement of the watch isn't too shabby either. The finish level confirms a late 30's early 40 date of small batch production. Here is a picture of the back. BR Z' ...
40s? Looks very modern....
... must be 50, 60 years ahead of its time..... Very nice one. Can't believe it's 70 years old. Thanks for sharing! Ken
Wow, you don't see it everyday!
... what a marvelous, simple watch UN has made! A great looking watch... drooling..... Great one, Dave! Ken
Just "wow!".... yes, very simple, but complicated at heart....
.. a very nice one! Ken
Can't take any fresh images at the moment . . .
. . . so here's a few found rummaging my files. Black Connie . . . . . . SBGW047 . . . . . . and Senator Sixties . . . . . . representing pure and simple designs from Switzerland, Japan, and Germany. All images taken on the shoreline of So Cal. Art ...
Very, very nice simple trio, Art....
... and in great shape. Take care my friend and HAGWE! Ken
Oh, yeah, that is what I am talking about!
... all great simple watches... Thanks, Tim! Ken
You are a fortunate man
you represent, and get to meet the great indies making great simple watches. You take great pix too! Love VH Classic. Best Joe
Simpliest movement I have, Ken...
Three hands and seventeen jewels is all you need. HAGWE! ...
Simple but sad.
This week I delicate my wrist scan to the young F1 driver mr Bianchi... How long must something be done about safety before another young talent sacrifice his/her life for the passion that they and many motor fans love... My heart goes to mr Bianchi senio...
Too much.....
... the accident happened at Suzuka, I remember. I was hoping he recover but.... RIP, another great young talented driver.... Ken
Sometimes two hands is all you need....
dear Ken It would be pity not to join in such tremendous thread Bravo my dear friend you made us all very happy this weekend Sincerely yours Damjan After judging this week I fear that judges will have expression like this bird on a picture :) :) ...
Hahaha. Yes, I agree that sometimes two hands are enough....
... your Doxa is admirable indeed. Nice catch, my friend! Ken PS: Last night the crew (who visited you a few years ago) drank Croatian white wine at a restaurant - we all have fond memories about the place and you. Thanks again for your hospitality back t...
Dear Ken please
send my best to the crew I'm very flattered they still remember me. Please tell them I will soon leave to Dubrovnik ;) Truly yours Damjan
So, Henry, what do you think about the Tudor, after a while?
Still Honeymoon? Best, Nicolas
Still
enjoying it very much,nico has been on my wrist ever so often and surprisingly accurate the simple dial just grabs me and is much more interesting with the strap (have the bracelet too) you shoild try it---won't regret it best henry
Nothing simpler than only one hand
This Azimuth HK Special Edition, one of 50 pieces, is a complete full destro, one hand that moved backwards (mechanical movement) and this photo was taken against the mirror, the reflection shows the right way it should look... Cheers, Ian ...
