WristScan

As announced on Wednesday the focus of this month’s WS is your favorite complications. Whether chronographs, calendars, deadbeat seconds or whatever else it is that tickles your horological fancy! So let’s see your favorite complicated watches! As always ...  

[GO Karree perpetual calendar] . . . to tolerating a date . . . . . . or chronograph . . . . . . today. The most complicated watch in my collection is the Flightmaster . . . . . . with chronograph plus GMT and inner rotating bezel (not, strictly speaking,...  

Those golden era GO PCs were quite something back in the day. And while I still have quite some complication watches the time only ones get most wrist time these days. Lovely chronographs you show and you know i have a weak spot for this GS 👌🏻🙌🏻 ... 

A superb selection ! Have a great weekend my dear friend!! Cheers!! Abel

Best to you & yours ! 😊

Chronographs… Chrono with top seconds… Top seconds and day / night indicator (and PR)… Top seconds, moonphase and tide indicator… Deadbeat seconds and foudroyante… Alarm… Regulator… Jumping (crazily so) hour… GMT… And fully complicated 😂👍🏻 ...  

… awesome selection of watches!! And several interesting complications reside in your collection beyond the more usual chronos and GMt’s!! Thank you for hosting this weekend and sharing these beauties! Cheers! Abel

I am sure you and the others will break the bar at the first attempt 😁👍🏻 Looking forward to seeing your entries - and spontaneous shots with knives in the background are fully in line 😁👍🏻🤞🏻

I will post shots from my HD as I haven’t brought any complication watch to the Blade Show. Just a Tudor Black Bay. But will take some shots with it for a Time Out post . Hagwe! Abel

Specifically liked your Regulator choice and of course the Chopard Chronograph, not forgetting your various Habring2 choices ! Chapeau and very well done ‼️👌👏🏻 PS: Also realized we share 2of your JLC- pics: the Amvox-2 & the MCM., but also the Zenith Cron... 

We indeed share the odd piece 😊👍🏻 Looking forward to seeing what you posted this weekend 😊🤞🏻👍🏻

… you choose for this edition of WS. I’m sure we will be receiving many contributions from our Community and superb watches shots shared by them. My three favorite complications are: chronographs which I find mesmerizing when viewing them working just for...  

And I mean that in a visceral sense, it’s world timers. Hopefully ne day soon 🤞🏻 What an amazing selection of chronographs, alarm watches and WTs you show! The 5110 really is a watch I would love to own…

I’m sure you will enjoy so much this complication! There are many superb watches to choose from and those produced by PP are the Kings of them all I feel. I’m glad you like my selection. Thank you so much for your kind comments!! Hagwe!! Abel

Some other - non-horological - priorities first but hopefully sooner rather than later 😊👍🏻

I realized, that there is a whole range of fine watches, we again share !.. - Well done my „horological twin „! Lolol ! 😊 Next to those picks ( such as the PP & Omega Worldtimers), I appreciated your fine Rolex Chrono, the JLC NSA, DSA and your Geophysic ... 

… and always think of you when I view one of them in my collection. Thank you for your kind compliments!! Hagwe! Abel

A normal time only watch can be so beautiful but A nice complication can always give something special to a watch imo . A nice Chime every hour A beautiful Tourbillon My wife,s retrograde and jumping hour Double moonface Remontoire Dead Beat second Wish y...  

Thanks for joining in with these great specimen!

.. the 1Hz also is a great pick ! Very well done and enjoy yours in the Best of your health !

Here are a few static and wrist shots: Happy weekend to all! ...  

At least till 2100 in most cases 😉 Truly lovely specimen and fantastic shots you are sharing! Thanks for joining in!

But they all have to make mulitiple trips to the manufacturers before 2100... 😂

And unfortunately the turnaround times are truly abysmal for these 🤷🏻‍♂️

Thank you for your entry!! Hagwe!! Abel

That JLC keeps grabbing my attention every time i see one

of stunning watches. 🙏

😉 Master Geographique (2nd Generation) including Date & RM Reverso Dual Date & Master Calendar Moon Black & White - Maybe the very best of JLC Calendars (Ref 464/A) - from Mid 40ies Breguet RG Ref 7337 with Date & Moonphase and fine Guillo...  

A truly superb range of the whole spectrum of what JLC has to offer, with a Breguet thrown in for good measure 👌🏻👍🏻 I knew you would delight us with amazing watches this weekend 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

PS: I also enjoyed your own picks from your stables 👌‼️

… you are sharing today! Big congrats on your recent addition! That Reverso tribute chronograph is exquisite. You share some superb JLC timepieces which I love so much. The Diometre is a long time dream. May be some day I will be lucky to find one for my ... 

Truly wish you good hunting for a Duomètre, if you‘re indeed looking for one ! It truly is a great watch, especially the „à Chronograph“.. - And the Reverso Tribute Chronograph, quite recently released & picked up was a JLC-choice I simply couldn’t let pa... 

I still have a weak spot for The JLC MCM👌🏻😘

Jumping hours, jumping minutes, one minute remontoire, one second remontoire, deadbeat seconds, dual remontoires, GMTs, chronographs (bicompax, fly back and rattrapante), dual times, perpetual calendars and annual calendars, minute repeater. ...  

What a range and what heavy hitters 👏🏻🙌🏻👍🏻

It consists of extraordinary pieces of craftsmanship and … art. 🙏

I’ve been at this a while now! I’ve always thought that collecting is a marathon rather than a sprint and I’ve built relationships over the years, following people in the industry from role to role - and in many instances manufacture to manufacture. This ... 

And you certainly did many things right there 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

On the “merits” of it, it’s hard not to include a Breguet Minute Repeater QP, given the theme - love this piece: But for pure “fun”, I must say I do love this 90s “Bany Nina” UG: two-tone and blue and sporty: And then there’: the VC 47101 - a Lemania 2310...  

The Breguet is truly a grand complication masterpiece and the two chronometers both gems! Really like the 1990s Nina and the VC is an all time classic 👌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻

. . . before. Curious as to the movement . . .

It wears much bigger than 43mm suggested and not very reliable, but it should has the wrist presence. A fake Patek 5712 but only thing I could afford Good looking back sides ...  

And the two backside shots are superb - and probably one of the key reasons why we like chronographs 😊👍🏻⚙️ Surprised by your reliability comment on the Octo. Something tragic or just small niggles?

Here are my favorites in two categories: 1 - complicated and looking complicated JLC Master Compressor Extreme Lab 2 Tribute to Geophysic UN Astrolabium Galileo Galilei JLC Master Minute Repeater 2- complicated but looking simple Richard Lange pour le Mer...  

And yours is one of the several entries here that seems to do a better job of showcasing what JLC could and should be than their current commercial approach 😉 Huge fan of the complicated but looking simple approach you showcase but sometimes an odd piece ... 

.. your Lange AS / Pour le Merite and the superfine AP sonnerie et repetition are superb and .. quite rare pieces ! - Congrats to your exquisite selection - great pleasure these must be exhibiting ! Well done & Chapeau ‼️👏🏻

of course I have to start with dual time but here I must admit the complication. I love the most is the a.m. p.m. indicator as well as the date being shown on a wheel versus the window: Then there is the chronograph for sure: Finally, of course, the perpe...  

Am still pacing a PC (like a WT) and IWC is a great choice for the complication. Fully agree with you on the Overseas display choices 👌🏻👍🏻

A selection of chronographs and calendar type watches : Lange Datograph JLC Duometre à chronographe Breguet 5247 PP 5170 G Omega Speedmaster Apollo XI Rolex Daytona AP Royal Oak chronograph One that bridges between chronographs and calendar watches : PP 5...  

What a fabulous range to both and some truly all time greats there 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

First of all, many thanks to KMII for hosting this month’s WS. 🙏 What an interesting topic. Complications are one of those subjects where every collector seems to have a different answer. Some are fascinated by chronographs, others by perpetual calendars,...  

What a collection and love your accompanying comments - truly superb! And the watches! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 The triple bridges is one of the rare tourbillon watches that truly appeal to me and yours is certainly a great specimen!
