Young and very propulsive designer
had made changes to my watch, believe it or nor, just 2 days ago
To tell you the truth I'm not yet certain do I like it or not
Yes the design is bold yes it is aggressive but not sure about
overall result
His name is Damjan and here's the result
HAGWE all

WristScan 3/17 starts now. Theme: Watches and their Designers
My choice for this week's theme is a relatively new addition. A Rado R5.5 automatic! I've always admired Rado's use of ceramics but since most of the watches contained quartz movements, I never added one to the collection until now. This R5.5 was designed...
I have no clue about who designed those but ...
I just love how they did. 1) Omega De Ville Hour Vision Orbis The middle case is made of sapphire allowing us to see the internals of the 8500 case. 2) Omega Planet Ocean Chronograph. The challenge was how to house a 9300 chronograph movement maintaining ...
at least for the Longines besides giving the design credit to Lindbergh
you have to also give credit to Weems! Thanks Nilo for your contributions this week ...
Lindbergh ...
How proper, considering that I did the post from St. Louis, MO!! Cheers, Nilo
That's gotta be a candidate for . . .
. . . the best wrist shot ever, Mike! Dead even with . . . [photo credit: chronomaddox] . . . Buzz, in my book ;-) . . . ...
Omega's consistently superb design, simple yet elegant...
.. I wonder who designed those, too....
Designed in the 80ies, by an unknown genius
A new toy, the Girard-Perregaux Chronograph 7000. Will have to put up a detailed report on this one, once all the Basel hype is over. So here's a sneak peak for this week's wristscan: No idea about the designer, but it was rather successful as it stayed i...
Congrats, CC!
That is another great find! Looking forward to the report! Best Blomman
In preparation, my friend
let's keep some focus on the Novelties, then we return to history
That's real nice...Eventhough the dial layout is common and dictated by the movement, some one had to select the size of the counters, the hand styles, numerals, colors..
Everlasting winning design! Thanks CC Best, Mike
Wow, my friend !.. What a cool piece !.. The asymmetrical subcounters give it an usual appeal.. Great on your wrist, also !..
.. Little Q: does it have a very flat bezel ? Looks very attractive ! Looking forward to more, if you will be at Baselworld.. Best, hs
Thanks, HS
yes, the bezel is flat and the same level as the crystal. Detailed report coming up over at the GP forum. I will hold back a bit until we have digested the 2016 Novelties. Nope, not going to Basel. CC
Wow, wow, wow... sooo beautiful. Very nice.
No wonder it was on catalog for more than 10 years.
I nominate Rolf Sachs
I bought this from G99. At the time I was managing editor of a publisher of mathematics textbooks. It seemed fitting! I don't wear it often but it's fun to watch people trying to work out what's going on. Here are some pictures of Rolf and his work, with ...
I've always found that Fortis interesting...
Very provocative dial design...love it or hate it, there is no middle ground! Thanks for sharing. Mike
Gee, that Fortis.... Left me big impression back then.
.. so, he is THE designer... Thanks, Mike!
another Jasper Morrison "timepiece"
the brand-new, low-tech Punkt mobile phone Cazalea ...
I remember when you posted this phone. I can see the common design elements now!
What are your thoughts regarding the phone? (nt)
I bought it for my wife; she found it incomprehensible
Alas, She\'s one of the Luddites: "\'phone? Why not talk in person?" She hated it, couldn\'t deal with multi-press alphabet spelling on texts, etc. so we sent it back. They seem to be a happy and cooperative company. Cheers, Cazalea
you might appreciate the 200 hr battery life too
more than a week! Twice the life of my BlancpaiN!
Laureato was ....
NOT designed by Mr. Genta. The original Laureato were a in-house creation of GP! With a magical dial! HAGWE Blomman ...
Amazing piece
very glad you enjoy yours as much as I do mine. Now, I'm still hunting for a 1975 white/silver dial...
What's not to like here?
The dial is magic! Only problem is that now I need a waffle dial as well.... Best Blomman
That same brushed blue dial from days of yore, perhaps..
But oh! That bracelet! The new blue alligator works but that Laureato is lovely. --Rick ...
Very nice...
easy to see how people thought it was designed by Genta Love the difference of the dial depending on the light. Best, Mike
The dial shifts from light blue to black depending on light....
Hard not to be charmed! Best Blomman
Hej, my friend !.. Really like the Vintage Laureato blue dial !.. A lot, to be honest !.. Meanwhile..
.. I\'ve got second thoughts about the new 2016 re-edition ! That wafer dial, with all those shades of blue.. Hmmhh.. Have to think about it ! Best & HAGWE, hs
Once you see the Laureato 2016 in real.....
You will be under its spell! Best Blomman
Dr. GP, that, I didn't know.
... I had thought it was Genta, but now I know that I would like to find one even more! Ken
Xavier Perrenoud has watches of many brands in his portfolio, and also..
the Ebel Sportwave Aquatica, 1911 BTR Chronograph, and several others in the Ebel line (Tarawa, Beluga Grande with diamonds for the ladies, and more) from a decade or so ago. The Sportwave Aquatica was a limited edition with helium valve and 500-meters wa...
Never knew of this designer although I've been close to pulling the trigger on a similar Sportwave in the past.
Great info...Now when you go to his website you can see some of his more recent watch designs. Pretty cool! Thanks Rick. Best, Mike
Two great designers...
Hannes Wettstein, the designer of many Ventura watches, like my V-matic, and this Lamy Studio pen Marc Newsom, the designer and co-founder of Ikepod and the designer of this Ikepod Manatee and Pentax K-01 (but not this pen)... also the designer of these N...
Industrial designers are so...
... ignored (in terms of name recognition), but do one of the most important jobs for the history of the world..... Great ones.

Wow! He's got talent!
I find this work menacing/playful because of the way the mechanical mark-making of the spatial relationships notates the eloquence of these pieces Best,Mike
With a little polywatch, it will be as good as new, Damjan….
LOL! All the best to you, my friend! Alex
Very impressive design.
Bullet proof? ) Looks so robust and durable. Take it to the hospital, Damjan!!!
Hmmhh.. Let me see, what to chip in here !..
Well, I chose an interesting JLC watch,produced a rather short period, between 2005-2008. At it\'s time this timepiece represented a new sportsline by LGM. The design was fresh, avantgarde, even audacious, a compressor case and also included JLCs signatur...
Aaah, yes! Magali!
I was lucky to meet and know her. She's very talented, blowing a wind of fresh ideas on the manufacture. This MC Memovox is one of her creations. Best, my friend. Nicolas
Glashütte Original's designer is . . .
. . . Katharina Stegmann . . . . . . and, while I'm not entirely sure if she had a hand in designing the first generation of Karrees*, she would've been responsible . . . . . . for the second, exemplified by my Karree PanoDate. Art * The three Karree perp...
She's named on the patent granted . . .
. . . this year by our Patent Office for the design of the Seventies Chronograph dial, so it's a fair bet she's still the head of G O's design team. I'll check with Our Man in Glashütte, though, to be sure. Art ...
If only I'd latched onto . . .
. . . one of these . . . . . . when they were available. The wherewithal was there, but the choice made was for a Senator perpetual instead. Of course, the Senator perpetual has gone to another home, but my longing for the Karree has never ceased. Wistful...
Following G O as closely as I have over the years . . .
. . . my admiration for Mrs Stegmann's talent is now unlimited. I'm still looking to add one more G O to my collection before calling it quits. The revised PanoReserve . . . . . . which bears her imprimatur is on the shortlist. Art ...
A Famous Designer Did These Watches
two three Hysek Kilada watches (don't you hate the spell-checker when entering watch names and models? !*&%#$*^). His name (for the 4th time) is JORG HYSEK. Here he is: For MORE DETAILS CLICK HERE NOW LET'S CHANGE DESIGNERS TO ... Another famous guy d...
Sinn....
A German brand with traditions! I am not sure who designed my 657, but there is much praise for the whole team at Sinn from me. This watch is made of bead blasted steel. It is water resistant to 200 meters, has excellent magnetic field protection and I lo...
Thank you KIH for your kind words. I think this design is universal, it has....
similarities to other watches, but it is one of a kind at the some time Cheers Edward
Interesting to think how design can ...
... Be timeless! Have a great week end friends!! Cheers! Abel ...
Design is the first thing the prospective buyers pay attention, or don't.....
It's really important. These days, more important than what is inside.... fortunately or unfortunately....
Well we know at least one of the designers in your collection :-) The others are absolute classics.
I wish we knew who was responsible for these timeless designs. HAGWE Mike
Thank you so much for your kind comment Mike!...
... Yes we know about Genta and his classic AP Royal Oak. I guess we will never know the name of Rolex designers but these models are timeless classics anyway! Hagwe Mike!
Citizen...
Most brands don't tell us who designed the watch. Citizen is the exception in Japan. Not all, but some, they hold internal competition and winners design actually becomes the watch. HAGWE! Ken ...
