Looking forward to seeing everyone’s formal timepieces.
I chose to wear yellow gold, largely because the rest of the formal outfit was in black and white and needed some added sparkle. Even if it was mostly hidden under a jacket, I knew it was there. And I liked the historical aspects of the watch and cufflinks; the La Tradition is a modern rethink of a 19th century pocket watch for today’s wrist.

What would you wear . . .
. . . if you were meeting your Head of State? Andrew D posted this musing a few weeks ago . . . home.watchprosite.com =0 . . . and it was suggested as a theme for this week's Wrist Scan by a participant who wishes to remain anonymous. This is what I'd wea...
Maybach and Lange Datograph Perpetual
If I meet my Head of State, I would love to be in this combo..... Best, Horo...
Yes...troublesome times for her. But I am visiting her country on Sunday anyway
And I always suspected I have Teutonic blood in me... Best, Horo
Gosh, if I met with Obama . . .
. . . in a Maybach and wearing that watch, he'd raise my taxes on the spot!
Taxes....the bane of all forum discussions!!!
This will turn into a Republican versus Democrat debate!!! I am always in the middle anyway...otherwise known as Liberal Republican or Conservative Democrat.... Best, Horo

Three ways to go
1. Match the president 2 Wear a President 3. Wear something that only those in the Know would appreciate None of the watxhes or images belong to me. I lifted them all from the net If inappropriate then please delete This message has been edited by watch-g...
Good one Julian
You beat me to it with that secret service watch given to President Obama by his security team.Very apropos , would be a good conversation starter. Cheers,dreamer
For MY head of state ..
... i would wear my pink shirt, my LLD and a special attribute ... just to look silly and let him know i don't take him serious either as he does with his fellow countrymen .... You probably didn't expect a serious answer from the BIM did ya ? Oh, and i w...
There's an American . . .
. . . who has a similar outlook on life, Bim. You're not alone ;-) . . ....
Holy S***! My eyes are burned.
Where do you get that thing to match perfectly with the LLD. My favourite shot so far. HAGWE Tyler
Very understated, j . . .
. . . perfect attire for that one-on-one with the President!
Too nice!
Each time I see it, I'm thinking about adding it in my collection. BUT I'm lucky to already own a Lange moonphase, so next step is finding another Anniversary... Best, Richard. Nicolas.
A Rolex Daytona, just like him. And, since I don't like to act like others...
And certainly not like him, I would go for this delicious slice of salmon. Best, and HAGWE, All. Nicolas....
Is there a club up there
that you Parisians all meet on the roof. Great shot Patrice.
That is an habit of ours...
Well, you Londonian guys seem to have the same! Best, Nicolas
Careful P@trice...You're too close to Vlad's dungeon!!
Be safe and HAGWE! -- Richard.
Thanks, my friend.
This Salmon is just sublime, and I love it so much that I'm even considering getting a Royal Oak Jubilé with the same dial! Best, Nicolas.
oh, I did not know..
.. you could have a salmon dialed Royal Oak.. a 15202? I love the blue and grey pattened ones, but a salmon variant must look awesome... Best and hagwe my friend Hans
I learnt three things today..
1 I must have spend to much time with work lately.. need to prioritize... 2 That dial in salmon is to die for 3 With the Star wheel luminous combo would I have to have it Best Hans
Classic with a twist
My favourite quote of the week BTW is about Monsieur Sarkozy. "I want to congratulate Nicolas and Carla on the birth of Giulia. And I informed Nicolas on the way in that I was confident Giulia inherited her mother's looks, rather than her father's, which ...
That was an excellent one, and the funnier was ...
To see Nicolas's face when he heard that! Best, Nicolas, I mean, the other, the good one.
Man seeing your photo makes me hungry for some sushi.
I better go get some food or else I might bit off piece of my screen. :-D Really delicious photo of the breguet. Maybe I should consider a VC version if one exist. Regards Tyler
" Les Historiques " Chrono came with a superb slamon dial, Tyler.
Quite a reare bird, but a superb one. Best, Nicolas.
Exact one I have in mind. If
This watch will send me to hunting reason:-D When I found one we should gather and do a salmon platter shot. LOL Regards Tyler
That's fine, I got lotsa patients.
Worse comes to worst I'll dig up the photo from your previous post for encouragement Regards Tyler This message has been edited by T.Bean on 2011-11-05 06:29:11
Well, my first choice would be…
The AP RO Jubilé – that would “kill two birds with one stone” for me! First step into AP… and a salmon dial! Best Blomman
That I don't rightly know, Nicolas. Every one . . .
. . . I've seen is in yellow gold, but that certainly doesn't preclude white gold or steel versions. I have seen steel 30T2rg chronometers, but not with this dial.
Well, I didn't know this model before you posted it, so ...
If, per a coincidence you find one in white metal, let me know! All the best, Nicolas.
Big Crown!!!
tried to meet the Queen visiting London one week ago, but couldn't get in at Buckingham so went for a Big Crown at Big Ben... Back in the city of lights, couldn't meet our head of state yesterday night as he was enjoying some Greek moussaka in Cannes so p...
We have royal crowns in America, too, Matt . . .
. . . but they're for drinking, not wearing ;-) . . ....
Hey you got good weather
blue skies while you were here Matt. However I doubt Sarkozy was enjoying anything Greek at the time.
you know about British indian summer!...
Now our leaders are all practicing to dance sirtaki!
I enjoy contemplating ...
... wrist watches in the car, and they make the time stuck in traffic pass more quickly. Hands on the wheel are a perfect position to view the watch, and diffuse light through a sunroof provides nice illumination. Great shot and watch, Jeff. Andrew
Does the head of another State count?
If so, I was wearing this at an unscheduled handshake with the head of a foreign state on Monday afternoon. There's a clue to the identity of the HoS in the shot....
Well, considering the current crop of Heads of State ...
I was tempted to shoot a pic of my bare wrist but ... Since I'm an optimist, let's imagine a meeting with a real Head of State... I could wear this Zenith. It carries enough class for anyone. Or this E871. I was wearing it during a wonderful meeting with ...
LOL, Nilo. Love your sense of humour.
Was good to finally meet you in the flesh! Best, and have a safe travel back home. Nicolas.
Thank you ...
We are back home. It was a great trip. Cheers and stay tuned for a post on the TimeOut. BTW: The espresso stains washed out. No problem.
Meeting our ""Dronning Margrethe II"...
I would probably wear a casual or maybe this.. Best and hagwe Hans...
Wonderful Memo pic, Nilo!
Guess you had a great stay in Paris! Hope you brought a lot of pics home with you! HAGWE Blomman
bearing in mind my head of state is Her majesty Queen Elizabeth II, i'd wear this
a 1964 Smith's Everest in 9ct Gold. a quality timepiece made in England, named after the successful climbing of Everest the year that the Queen came to the throne. i also wore it when Kate and Wills got married. how much more Royalist could i get HAGWE Gr...
on the other hand i could wear this, just for the hell of it
the very small rotating earth would be a good reminder that 100 years ago we English ruled the world and now we dont even rule ourselves....
You always come up with something ...
Graham, Another unusual watch. How it works? Don't complain about UK before seeing with an outsider eye. UK may not rule the world but it's a very nice place to be. Quoting my wife, after a week there, "I could live in this city", that I replied "Sure dea...
we always think the worst...
we always think the worst of our own countries. we should listen to visitors. as for the watch its a 19 jewel hand wind in the traditional english style. a pic of the movement for you. G...
I would have worn a Smiths
but I don't own one. They may have not shouted the loudest about the fact, but they were at the summit as well.
Love the red diamond on the second hand ...
... and the robust movement. The whole watch does feel very English and a great choice for a special occasion. Andrew
