WristScan

Thanks Alkiro, it's still one of my fav. case/lug/crown designs

 

Truly, the ability of Independent Watchmakers like Peter, not only to be able do all the amazinginside watchmaking works, but also design and execute a lovely classical watch, is why I find their work so compelling.
Cheers,
Tim

For some reason, the bezel is a very special component on a watch for me. The interface between the bezel and crystal, the decorative elements, and the thickness....it either makes or breaks the purchasing decision for me. Here are two watches with unique...  

Here is one I love alot - especially after spending more time with

Couple that with the shape of the acrylic crystal makes for an interesting, "pill-shaped" case Regards, skyeriding ...  

Thank you.

Looking to my watches, I notice that I'm very boring in terms of watch cases. Some that I like. 1) JLC Extreme Lab 2 2) Omega Olympic Official Timekeeper WG 3) Omega Ploprof 4) Seiko Marinemaster (all cases should come with holes). 5) Omega Speedmaster Sp...  

Hard not to fall for the Vintage 94.....

With it's Art Deco case shape and ... High doom plexi! A more well known example from Girard-Perregaux would be the Vintage 1945: HAGWE Blomman ...

every GP has a great case. Maybe the best thing about them.

Somthing that I forgot to mention...and the JLC compressor case does it perfectly...

 
By: mkt33 : May 26th, 2017-04:41
A highly functional case that can withstand the elements but makes not look like a "tool watch". Just out of curiosity are you laying down in a hammock for that photo? warmest, Mike

Great shot/case, but....

 
By: blomman Mr Blue : May 26th, 2017-10:13
Is the case really a compressor case? Or just the crown? My memory is failing... Best Blomman

Not yet.

I'll work on it when I get home from Europe.

Bezels are really important for changing the case scenery.

Hi Mike, Thanks for the pieces are beautiful indeed.Ä° like Graham especially for its unordinary choice from my Watches would be this IWC Deep nice case and bezel in my case diameter for me the bezel is ceramic and is different with getting outer from...  

Yes! Thank you. The bezel on that IWC does it perfectly.

A splash of color, functional, and distinctive...you cannot mistake that watch for anything else! Have a good weekend, Mike

Great theme, Mike...

two come to mind immediately: My GP Laureato Ratrapante Fourdroyante with this special Titanium case with octagonal rubber bezel, a modern and bold look: And the sensual curves of the GP Vintage 45 XXL case: HAGWE, CC ...  

That's the killer shot right there

 
By: mkt33 : May 26th, 2017-04:46
I could stare at your photo for hours...imagine what would happen if I actually owned that watch...nothing would get done in the office I know the theme is watchcases...which the DB has a very unqiue one but that dial!!! Best, Mike

Have always liked the Bezel on the VC overseas

 
By: mkt33 : May 26th, 2017-05:43
the designer had an inspirational moment to translate the maltese cross element to the Bezel. Thanks for sharing, Mike

Another wonderful set of photos...

 
By: mkt33 : May 26th, 2017-05:46
I have never seen a UN 160 out in the wild yet. But I love to see that case in the metal to see if I like the slightly oblong shape. HAGWE, Mike

A lot of wonderfulness!
