Independents: Urwerk 202--thoughts?

When last I posted about unusual displays, I said I wished I could afford an Urwerk 202. I have, in the interim, acquired (as Graham suggested) an einzeigeruhr--the Meistersinger Perigraph, with which I am delighted. But I have seen, and handled, in the metal, the Urwerk 202 in the aluminum titanium

Horological Meandering: Yah, that's pretty much what I'm hoping for!

And the 38 mm should be a little less lost in the case. Thanks for the great picture!

Horological Meandering: Thank you all for your comments

I have decided to pull the trigger on this watch. The bracelet currently exists only in the 38mm size, so I will go with that--silver/white dial, Perigraph date model. Below is my photoshopped idea of what it will look like. Wish me luck. Thanks.

Horological Meandering: Meistersinger single-handers

What do people think of the Meistersinger single-handers? I like the Perigraph, which has a date wheel and comes in 38mm and 43mm versions; I am particularly happy (given my strong preference) that it is available on a stainless steel bracelet. It uses a Sellita SW200 movement, which seems to be a v

Horological Meandering: My collection

Is not really themed. In addition to the Burger (on PVD mesh), the CF and the Azimuth (on blue leather--my only non-bracelet watch), I have a UN GMT+/- Perpetual in the LE rose gold (on a rose gold bracelet) with silver dial, an IWC Portofino Perpetual (old) in yellow gold on bracelet, a Blancpain R

Horological Meandering: Kind of a tribute to Graham

So it seems I have very similar taste in watches--at least in displays--to our esteemed gmhutton. Soon after he got his Seiko Burger, I got one. Soon after he got his Azimuth Spaceship watch, I got one. And when I read recently of his acquisition of the Carlo Ferrara Dancing Regulator, I knew I had

Ulysse Nardin: To paraphrase Lerner & Lowe

Oh, no, not in springtime, summer, winter or fall, No, never would I wear a strap--at all! For me, it's all bracelet, all the time--gold, platinum, stainless, titanium; I much prefer the metal on my wrist skin to leather, rubber or cloth of any kind. I had a thread about this several years ago, and

Horological Meandering: Thank you.

Thanks for the comments, I am excited about this watch. I define a stay-at-home watch as one where the main display remains on home time and the secondary display is the second timezone, while on travelling watches the reverse is true. This is most clearly a stay-at-home watch because the day/night

Horological Meandering: Stay-at-home two timezone watch

So I have a number of travelling two timezone watches, such as the Blancpain Leman Reveil and the Ulysse Nardin GMT Perpetual, and I am very happy with them, but I do not have any of the stay-at-home type of two timezone watch. I have been looking at the Maurice Lacroix Pontos Decentrique GMT, and t
