In two days we again have one of those calendar anomalies that send all the lovers of complicated watches scrambling, February 29th.

For all of us that can't make one of the "Perpetually PuristS" gatherings on Friday, be it because of the long distance to the next gathering, lack of a perpetual calendar watch in the collection or for whatever other reason, lets make a "Virtual Perpetually PuristS" gathering here.

I'll start out with my favorite perpetual calendar, Vianney's Antiqua, in an absolutely drop-dead picture I have borrowed from one of Suitbert's posts last year.

Show us yours !

Don

 

Well it is ACHI



Ok, so it isn't a Perpetual, But thought I would throw it into the mix.

Best.

Not to slight the others, but that Omega is really nice.
Do you know the vintage?
Don

I am waiting for the vintage Omega store to open in london, and then I might be able to get more information. Although I did acquire it from the same people in their present store, so not sure if they will have someone who knows more when they have a store that only has vintage Omegas. Funny Don from all your numerous posts, lol, I would have thought that the coaxial escapement would have caught your eye first.

Hi jasny !
You are right, the coaxial is fascinating, but that English styling is not really my cup of tea, niether on the movement nor the dial.  I can appreciate the achievement of great craftsmanship, but it doesn't talk to me.  I prefer the Swiss style.  I have actually been playing with the idea of picking up a vintage Omega with one of their nice 30mm movements, big balance wheel turning slowly, without haste.  A counterpoint to todays world.

Congrats on a great collection, BTW,

Don
