Freedom, this week end... Let's vote for our favourite scan, watch of the week and wrist shot. Please submit, then vote. That will certainly be very messy, but it will be fun! Some of the watches I will bring with me: Up to you, guys! Best, Nicolas...  

Ok, folks - it's a free-for-all this week! Let's post . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 7th, 2014-12:59

I'm very happy with this watch. Very strong presence on the wrist :)

They alike but also very different

If the 5970 is James Bond then this is Simon Templar. ;) I was worried I'm going to get bother bother by the size and the balance of the dial but it's perfect ! No complaint here Regard Tyler

My apologies, Tyler. It didn't occur . . .

 
 By: Dr No : August 8th, 2014-02:05
. . . that your intent was to start the weekly thread until after I locked your post. Please let one of us - myself, Nicolas, Blomman, Ken, Mike, Baron, or Andrew D - know of your interest in offering a theme and starting a thread, and we'll work with you... 

No apology need, Art.

 
 By: TdotBean : August 8th, 2014-04:09
I wasn't being clear on my post so I think that add up to the confusion. Regard Tyler

that is one of the best Perp Chronos bar none

supercomplication ;) Cheers D

10!

 
 By: matthewking : August 8th, 2014-00:09
haha, yes, super complication! I should clarify - there are 5 wedges to the kaleidoscope, so that's 10 watches in one radial :)

Glad you like :)

 
 By: matthewking : August 8th, 2014-21:31
Happy you like! I was thinking about how I could use mirrors to get multiple angles of my PP with a single shot. Then the kaleidoscope tapped me on the shoulder :)

Superb effect

 
 By: AndrewD : August 9th, 2014-05:02
And crystal clear images. Taken through a traditional kaleidoscope? Or digital post processing? Great idea nicely executed. Andrew

My favourite shot

OK. In that case....

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : August 12th, 2014-23:14
Still two more than me, my friend! Wonderful! :) But in that case I do prefer the silver dial. Strange. Many pieces I prefer black. But on the Amagnetic icons I always prefer silver.... Exception is of course the 2914.... Best Blomman

a little cambre carree this week then

 
 By: crown comfort : August 8th, 2014-02:04
Freedom always means choice and decisions, so how about some something undecided between square and round case, ending up with a delicious cambre carree on a white Guilloche dial. And yes, the date window does not bother me. :) HAGWE, CC ...  

Agree that the date works here!

Loved the photo of your TT 1931 with Casa Fagliano's workmanship, HS. Is that strap the same color Horween shell cordovan that they used for the Chocolate Reverso? Yours seems darker than the Chocolate version, but that might be because of the lighting in... 

Thx for your kind looking !.. As per to the Fagliano strap,..

.. Yes, it is exactly the same Horween shell Cordovan ( "middle brown", number 4 in their scale), which JLC uses for the Choc Reverso ! That brown has this Choc color and actually looks very nice with the TTR, IMO.. Guess, it's the lighting of the shot al... 

How 'bout Mom's favorite little watch...

. . . The Gunfighter the other day, and struck by one of his lines towards the end of the film: "I don't even have a watch." Pocket watches carried great sentimental value in the not-too-distant past. Mom must've been deeply attached to hers. Art
