You don't need a Moon watch.. This one more than well, does it .. :)
.. also liked a lot the pic backdrop, ground and setting !
May I ask, which period ? 40ies / 50 ies ?
Apologies for my ignorance, as I'm not familiar with that brand..
Best & HAGWE to you & yours !

Chronographs – writing time
The chronograph is arguably the most useful complication we can carry on our wrist. Next week marks the 44th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission where a simple mechanical Omega Speedmaster was used by Jack Swigert to time a critical 14 second course corr...
It only took me 1/100th of a second to decide
since I just took this photo for another post in the Seiko forum . Seiko's "fastest hand in the world" was on sale 22 years ago - half-way in time between now and the Apollo mission ... then for something completely different, Cazalea ...
Not a perfect shot
But this is what I call a perfect time Nov 11 2011 11:11:11 It was shot at that moment, not faked. Therefore, I had only one chance! A perfect chronograph for me! Best, Joe ...
Thank you, Nicolas!
I am a chronograph fan. I easily chose the Chronograph monopoussoir out of the following: ...
Sure!
You have a...devilish memory. It is on its way to being serviced. I will post pictures when I will get it back. R
Thanks!
I will soon post new pictures of it. I am waiting for it to be back from revision end of this month.
Love this early RD Hommage Mono pusher...
Elegant, stylish and a fab caliber. Those early Dubuis dials with the guilloche are magical! Cheers, Tim
I still didn't make my mind between...
The White... Or the Black... I guess I have a few hours to decide... Best, Nicolas ...
I would go with the purity of white.
to me, possibly the best looking Longines ever produced.
There are some 13 ZN which are, actually, even better looking than this 30 CH.
But I won't spoil my pleasure to read your words, my friend. ;) Best, Nicolas
Between . . .
. . . Deborah . . . . . . and Sophia . . . . . . how could any man choose? ...
Aha! I knew it all along . . .
. . . you're really . . . . . . Cary Grant ;-) . . . ...
Excuse me, but....
I feel the urge to post at least one Swedish femal actor here...! And to even have this kind of comparison without.... ...is for me unthinkable! But, then again - the answer would remain the same... BOTH! ;) HAGWE, dear Art Blomman ...
I knew.. I know now.. Greedy Norseman almost always goes for the Double..
.. very understandable, my friend, with these splendid choices.. So no choice is also.. choosing !! Great pics from these film celebrities, lovely ladies .. Best & HAGWE , dear Blomman ! :)
I can well understand dear Nicolas! Not an easy task to decide...
... Among these two beauties! Love the combination of black dial and black straps with the red touch! Ok a few hours will be enough to know which one! Un abrazo mi amigo! And a great week end for you and all our friends!
Yes, Black or white is always the question fo you ;-)
The black as longer nicer hands. HAGWE Nicolas! Best, -- Richard.
WOW! .. 2 marvels here.. Both awesome.. Specifically that Jardur is superb !.. :)
.. I remember vividly that black/red magic spell !! And that Finesse-sample of Longines, also a candy ! Both great ones ! :) :) - on a very personal level, my fav is the Jardur, I guess ! My best for The WE ! hs
Thank you my friend. Both very different, but each having a lot of charm.
Maybe caould we say that the Longines is more sophisticated? Best, my dear friend. Nicolas
Very well put, as always ., elegant sophistication indeed, for the Longines marvel..
.. such a noble dial, right yo are And the Jardur w black/red and all the signe marks, lines & circles is a smart tool, I find. Thank you , best, dear friend hs
Not a certain watch with a Salmon dial?! Maybe you
are getting tired of her? I will be happy to give her a nice wrist and leather bed to rest upon in California, throw in a little silk and velvet! Nice choices Sir. Best, Tim
Let's hear it for Chronographs!
This will be a good thread. Here is another Speedmaster. 50th Anniveray Patch. ...
Steve's wearing a Hanhart in that famous photo . . .
. . . but it is a chronograph ;-) . . .
Tudor 7159 Monte Carlo
A lot of color and a lot of Charm. Not the best for water sports. Bill ...
This one keep being on my list...
.. so tempting for a while.... Duh! Very nice, Bill!
That one is a colorful and exuberant piece.. Looking great, and obviously ..
.. also good readability of the dial, I guess , which I admired.. Best and HAGWE ! hs
Very colorful indeed
I hope you are having a pleasant and warm weekend. The sun is shinning. Best Bill
Drawn to chronographs like a moth . . .
. . . to a flame, Andrew. They've got a coolness factor, like American muscle cars and Harleys. I've owned about half a dozen over the past dozen years simply because they appeal on a subliminal level. Problem is, I never have an actual need to time any e...
Not only was the movement beautiful, Geo . . .
. . . but for the most part, Longines chronographs were successful aesthetically as watches per se . With practically every other manufacturer from the golden age, including my favorite, Omega, chronos come across as timekeepers with a special purpose. Un...
This Longines Chrono indeed is a sublime stunner.. Captivating elegance, as well..
Art, this is really a pleasure to look at ! - your point of a " non-necessity" for a Chrono, is - as I would guess - probably applicable to many here; even more for eg: Flybacks.. Therefore, I truly believe, it must be another part of of brain (& heart) f...
Yes, Speedmasters rock!
and dressed up very differently during the crazy 70's period ! Have a great WE everyone. Cheers, Mark ...
Those crazy 70's seem to be ...
... sneaking back into watch design. Soon we will be in flairs and platform heels again. Cool watch. Andrew
That' rigtht!...
.. hope all types of Speedys get together here in pics :-) Very nice type you have there, Mark! Ken
Thanks a lot Ken
I don't know if it's because I know this watch since my childhood but I love it too! A strong character. Cheers, Mark
if i remember correctly Nico,...
if i remember correctly Nico, we did a speedy roll call about 4 years ago and got over 100 entrants. i know that wasnt all of the speedys owned by the forum at the time. we now have far more members so could we get to 200 in another roll call? i have 4 wh...
Frome me, THE chronograph.....
.... in my dictionary, which unfortunately does NOT belong to me :-) Hagwe, everyone! Ken ...
What a mesmerizing piece of art and horology.. May I humbly..
.. ask, which Lange Chronograph that is ? - Apologies for my ignorance ! ;) Your shot is also a pleasure ! Best, hs
It's called "Tourbograph"....
.. and in PT, which is, IMHO, far, far better than the more recent HG one.... LE of only 51, and this one has the very special number for a very special Lange customer.... can't say more..... And the "whipping" of the chrono hands when they come back to Z...
Thank you so much, Ken.. For this kind insight of a horological jewel..
.. and your kind infos, as well ! My best again and HAGWE ! Best, hs
