Travels, escapes from our everydaylife, as a glimpse on our wrists. Show us your " travel watches "! For me, today, and for the week end, a Watch I didn't wear for a long time, and which deserves more, much more wrist time, the Amvox I Titanium. An Alarm,...

Very convenient and practical watch. I love it, too! Ken

... work took me an hour this morning. But I had the perfect watch to time it with - the Girard-Perregaux 1999 Chronograph. And a nice watch makes every day a holiday. At least that's the way for me to stay 'in theme' and share what I am wearing today. Im...  

.. and love the GP, too! Nice one, Andrew! Ken

And a very nice GP Chrono, too. Well played, Andrew. Nicolas

Happy to see this GP on your wrist! :) Best Blomman

HAGWE! Ken ...  

What a combo Elegancy first of all isn't it my friend Best Damjan

Here´s to a successful trip! All the best, Alex

But no CA noticed.... Nah, kidding LOL! Ken

This used to be my steadfast travel companion: And I must admit I miss the EWC often. But now this one seems to be serving as a fine travel buddy: The VC lacks the world time function, but it is a bit more versatile and lower profile while traveling, whic...  

... ...having the element of fun and versatile functionality.... Nice! Ken

.. For humble me , I'm mostly not sure, if the WT feature is really that much important - my most important feature is a second time zone / GMT feature.. My best & HAGWE ! hs

...a more useful function than the world time, IMO. But the world time function is more romantic, shall we say. Thanks for the compliment on the VC Overseas. Best, respo

Subdued but strong in its own way.

Both are big strog watches! Must say I am leaning towards your current budy due to the more sofisticated and elegant look.... But I understand that you miss the EWC..... Who wouldn't?! Best, my friend Blomman

You love it even more, since you travel with it? Best, my friend. Nicolas

Staged at 10 to 2 and you have a new ad campaign. Thanks for sharing. Bill

Which is a shame. That's a really nice looking Hautlence, and the color combinations and contrasts really stand out.

Always great to post or create something for this topic. GEO

Concorde travel. That was first class. Bill

You can take a picture of the Concorde any time, this one is on display full time on one of the ring roads of Gharles de Gaulle airport so I see it pretty much every week! Matt

Very well thought out Bravo! Best Damjan

.. One Q be allowed: what type of plane is that double-decker ? Best for your Sunday ! hs

That this was an Avro 504K Biplane D7560 from the Royal Flying Corps in WWI. The picture was taken in the Science Museum in London a few months ago. Cheers, Dean

... since the quest for the "perfect travel watch" is what keeps me busy and dedicated since more than a decade. Consequently, I never had the same watch on two vacations so far. Here is just a small collection: As said before, just a small...  

Dr. Hanke and obvioulsy there is a winner of this week WS Sincerely Damjan

.. Sorry for my naivité - what type/ brand is that Dreadnaught ? ( What a beast !) Best & HAGWE, hs

it looks pretty bomb proof, affordable so wouldnt matter too much if damaged. very similar to my Zenton bronze, Airnautic Early bird homage and a couple of others i own. best G

glad that name stuck :) You should just spin the Globe on your first picture to the right and then you'll be on right lace with your watch ;) HAGWE Yours D

A lot of pleasure with it! Best, my friend. Nicolas

Your posts on yours left me sleepless a couple of years back :)

Those watches have been places. Nice. Bill

You're quite a traveller yourself, no? Thanks for the kind words! Nikolaj

World heritage in fact. The third is much more off the beaten track: The Russian island of Sakhalin. The ship in the background is an LNG tanker headed for Japan. Thanks for your nice comment, my friend. Nikolaj

... the "Monumental Landmarks" thread on HoMe last week, Nikolaj. [ click here ]. Really evocative pictures of the Taj Mahal and the Giza pyramids. Perhaps we need a Seven Wonders of the World thread?! Regards Andrew

visit the monumental landmark that HoMe is more often :) Thanks for your kind comment Andrew

A gift from my wife And a robust travel companion I like your Amvox, Nicolas... I used to like having my memovox for my travel companion Best, Sam ...  

natural choice Best D

GMT is perfect for travel... However, actually I liked my DSA a little bit more as it was lighter, more comfortable and a definitely more stealthy Best, Sam

.. I am saying this, as one of my latest acq's is its cousin, the GMT 116710 BLNR ( black/ blue) , I guess soon will be also one of the first choices... I am sure, you are enjoying yours a lot !! Best, hs

Super nice... It looked much nicer than I thought it would be Hopefully.. One day... Have a wonderful weekend Sam ...

but every time I open your post I start swearing :) :) Best D

Thanks my friend. :) Best fernando

Looking for somewhere new to go... All packed... Satphone ready... Packing for diving... Maybe a little skiing... Or laying by the pool... Where the Negroni? or half way up a mountain... By the beach is always good... Especially when they have cold beer.....  

You are on a role dear Andrew That first one is awesome Best D

You are too kind... Cheers Andrew

My travel watches are varied and its so easy now with a cameraphone! I cut down to only these pics from my phone ;). Favourite one... Hmmm

I have (and love) the Baron Rouge, but yours looks even more stunning!

That Zenith is to die for ! A "Piece Unique", and slightly different to mine ... Can you spot the differences ? I am extremely jealous. Dean

HAGWE Best Patrice ...  

Ehh Patrice? ;) HAGWE D

Rolex 1655, rail dial mk3, Albino ? not yet ;) Best Patrice

Second pic was a lucky shot in the morning sun... :) Best Blomman

.. Offering the best of both worlds: Modern vs Vintage - your so nicely patinated GMT , (116750 as a transitional model) is the perfect example ! Wishing you continued joy with yours, Best + HAGWE !

Amazing dear Abel your signature picture all around Best Damjan

Like you said a wonderful blend new and old but still a strong player in the Rolex vintage world. HAGWE Bill

You can see it on my wrist in this shot, while I work the "Coffee Grinder" during a sailing race off Catalina Steering.... Here in South Africa, with my nephews in the background, at the end of the morning Game drive, time for tea or coffee in the bush......

It is off the Pacific coast, close to Tillamook, Oregon in the US. Un abrazo, Alex

I didn't see one. Do you still have it, Juan? Ciao, my friend. Nicolas

I have two dead-seconds: Habring and PAM. I love the complication. :)

As it is question that I go on your playground, this year... ;) Best, Nicolas

Actually, I will commute in Paris on Monday at 5am on my way to Madrid. I wish I could stay for the day and finally enjoy a dinner with the French PuristS Team! :(

But I will let you know... It will be in June, or in November. Best, Nicolas

. . . to my favorite seaside dive bar for a Margarita and few games of pool ;-) . . .

This is my companion....for MOST travels But this one is on ALL travels. Just due to the ease of setting time without worry of timezones and t that it blends in quietly. ...  

.. where and how is the 2nd time zone on the UN set and displayed ? - has it something to do with the indication @ 9 (?) .. I really liked both of your pieces: set for all encounters and endeavours .. Best, hs

Thanks for the kind words. They're two beautiful pieces of work and art. The window on the UN at 9 o'clock displays the home time in numerical fashion and the two pushers at 8 and 10 o'clock respectively moves the main time backward and forward in one hou...

Which is the marker for the date of the month? The red arrow?

yep the red arrow is the date, press one of the buttons and the dual time zone turns into month and year. nice tone to the repeater as well. all in all a well made watch. best G

just a practical decision hs. best G

. . . seriously, I'd be really upset to lose any of my valuable watches while traveling, particularly the Sixties as it's on loan from Glashütte! Art

i wont knock it. winning these days is so hard that i'll take any prize i can get :) best G

If it is for business I take the Memovox. Useful, elegant and quiet (well, at least as long as it does not ring). While on leisure trips I normally have the Fortis GMT on my wrist. Virtually indestructible, with a second timezone and sweat/waterproof. Fun...
