It's warm & sticky overhere, definitely need a metal bracelet.

It's a " Swiss " Dial but looks as patined as a T Swiss Dial ...

Beautiful!

best.

still looking good.

I wanted one when it came out, but in these days it was far out of my budget :-(

Lemy Tg195

Sorry, I couldn't help myself ;-) . . . cordially, Art

Wish I could say the man was as handsome as the watch!!!

David

. . . mutually favorite L A hangout, but have never met him. According to one of my friends who has had the pleasure, Lemmy is an erudite gentleman with interests in art and history . . . regards, Art

different to the other versions in that it has an assymetric case to protect the crown. much harder to find that the other Lemania 1 buttons of the time. i had 2 of the others but never managed to get a TG195.

nice watch Joe.

Graham

Right...Graham, this Lemy Tg195 was issued to Swedish Military, equipped with Cal.2225. You may find another Lemy having the same asymmetric case issued to British RAF (Cal.2220). The Cal.2220 is a completely one-push chronograph movement but the Cal.2225 is the Cal.2220 modified with removal of all the chronograph function (e.g., no column wheel). The push piece of Tg195 is for hacking the balance wheel and then zero setting (the second hand) and pushing the crown out for setting time (all these three at once).

Regards,

Joe

P.S. Please do not ask me what Tg195 stands for??? It's been a riddle for a very long time already! I welcome all the possible input in this regard if anyone knows.

really love this well balanced dial.

A combination of this well-balanced dial and this asymmetric case is somewhat outstanding on wrist!

Joe

As the song of The Clash: " Should I stay or shoudl I go "....LOL

I'm now re considering adding it in my collection.

I'm kind of attracted by this speical look, a bit like the Milgauss Green Glass...

A weird watch, but appealing, at the same time...

Thanks for this pic!

Best.

Nicolas

Just wonder and very supportive to see you pull the trigger.

Cheers.

The only thing is that the trade I'm considering has to work well...

We'll see!

Best.
Nicolas

So, the more appropriate watch is certainly this one..On my wrist for 3 days, now...



HAGWE!!

Fifty Fatham.  One of those "evergreen" watch of modern times.  Great looking and fits the weather in Paris now.  By the way how hot is it?

But in Paris it always looks warmer, due to the lack of air...

This FF is really a timeless piece, my friend.

Something extraordinary, a keeper!

Thanks for the nice words!

I certainly know how it feels like at 35 degrees.  Where I am (Hong Kong) - the temperature is also hovering around 32 to 34 degrees and not only that it is very humid as well.  Luckily my wrist does not sweat so much, or else I have look for bracelet watch to wear.  Have a good weekend and enjoy the sunshine.

your BP FF is stunning  - a real summer watch and it sits very well on you. I love the way they made the bezel and the deep black dial also ( you know Im a sucker for that!!!)

 HAGWE Nicolas
