WristScan 22 of Feb 2019: "Most Elegant" starts now!
By: blomman Mr Blue : February 21st, 2019-09:01
As announced, this week's WristScan Theme is "Most Elegant"! I will play my Girard-Perregaux 1966 Enamel dial with sub seconds. To me, one of the most elegant watches I have in the collection! Now it's up to you, what you consider most elegant... Let's pl...

To start conquering the world ;-) looking at my Universal Geneve Shadow. Super slender, less than 2 one Euro coins with an UG 66-2 beating inside and flat blue alligator. No seconds hand, beautiful "bat" shaped case. That micro rotor was the thinnest auto...
Super elegant modern GP

really love that and wish I could justify another 1966 for myself...
Hahaha.

Looks very elegant!
By: blomman Mr Blue : February 21st, 2019-09:23
Looking forward to see live shots once you have the strap! Best Blomman
What an unusual beauty.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 21st, 2019-09:32
The enamel dials are early leaders in this category.
Thank you! It came as a set!
By: sham1 : February 21st, 2019-09:37
The pocket watch was made by Moritz Grossmann himself as a piece unique in 1872!! The wrist watch was made to celebrate this pocket watch. And quite amazingly the size of both watches are almost identical!! The engraving on the case is quite something The...
Thanks Stefan!
By: sham1 : February 24th, 2019-04:26
One of the rare things about this pocket watch is that it only measures 36.7mm and has no personal engravings which I prefer. It was common to have one's coat of arms or initials engraved to a pocket watch in the 19th and 20th centuries. ...
Thank you!
By: sham1 : February 21st, 2019-09:41
And the movement is not too bad either! ...
Thanks a lot!
By: sham1 : February 21st, 2019-18:29
I am very fortunate to own this set.
The pocket watch
By: sham1 : February 21st, 2019-18:28
is smaller than some chocolates!!
Thank you Captain!
By: sham1 : February 21st, 2019-18:27
The dial is the perfect example of less is more I think.
Thank you!!
By: sham1 : February 21st, 2019-22:42
I had not realised there were more photos of my set.
So happy to see you loving this piece, Sham.
By: TheMadDruid : February 22nd, 2019-05:57
MG make some gorgeous pieces-the best with the enamel dials. Yours is perfect for your taste. Better watch out pun intended you may start to fall for the Germans!
Funny you say that
By: sham1 : February 22nd, 2019-06:40
because after securing this watch set, I have to confess that my interest in watches is waning as if I have secured the ultimate (for me at least). I have a Cartier Crash arriving at the year end, a RW Smith in two years time and my Patek skeleton in 2028...
I hear you.
By: TheMadDruid : February 22nd, 2019-12:05
How many do we really want? (Need is not part of the equation!)
I think for many of us
By: sham1 : February 22nd, 2019-17:49
the answer might be lots!! But for me, as I wind my manual winding watches daily and have a minimal amount of space, I think 5 or 6 manual winding watches would be enough!
Top top class my friend πππ
By: Mike H : February 24th, 2019-02:56
I very much look forward to seeing it in the metal when you come... Wear it in the best of health and with special care, this one is very special but you know it better than me. Congrats again
Thanks Mike!
By: sham1 : February 24th, 2019-04:29
And congratulations on being appointed as a moderator. I only just noticed it!!
Some vintage elegance
By: crown comfort : February 21st, 2019-09:23
Elegant watches...could be very much a subjective view. I think simplicity is one, but for real elegance, I adore thin straight lugs on a (not too large) round case. Like with this couple of elegant vintage GPs. And yup, very elegant on the wrist Best, CC...
LOLLL! [nt]
By: blomman Mr Blue : February 24th, 2019-05:25
Many thanks, Abel.
By: crown comfort : February 24th, 2019-03:18
Have good weekend, my friend
Aaahhh, the CvdK, been a while.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 21st, 2019-09:34
A lovely, amazing watch. Unfortunately, for my tiny wrists, it wouldnβt look elegant.
Itβs 40 mm?
By: Arie - Mr Orange : February 21st, 2019-13:50
(ok maybe a bit too thick??)
True

Elegance can mean different things to different people.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 21st, 2019-09:30
For me, it is something to wear for all but the most formal events. Small, simple and unobtrusive. I would throw in, something not likely to be recognized by those who donβt know. Like you, Mr. Blue, I will play with enamel dial. The purity of the dial is...
Thanks, cc.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 24th, 2019-05:34
Itβs not a GP, but it will have to do, hehehe.
Thanks Mr. Blue..
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 24th, 2019-05:34
The enamel carries the day.
Thanks, KMII.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 24th, 2019-05:31
I figured youβd appreciate it.
Thanks, my dear Mike.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 24th, 2019-05:33
Pales next to your 3448, but it is very nice.
Just gorgeous.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 21st, 2019-11:03
Haven't tried the platinum one but did have a chance to spend time with a fellow watch lover who used to frequent here and his gold Emil.. What a beauty.
How about this pair?
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 21st, 2019-20:24
Now this is a tasty lunch. Oozing elegance. ...
Really superb!
By: KMII : February 23rd, 2019-05:09
Either I am away too much or youβre adding watches at an enormous rate ππ»
You are killing me Nico
By: Mike H : February 24th, 2019-03:07
Every time I see it, BAM !!! It makes the same effect on me. One more train that I missed... luckily I have yours when I want to see one in the metal from time to time

By: Baron - Mr Red : February 21st, 2019-11:11
I think i have a few that could fit this category, but I am going to rest with the most obvious....Patek 570G. About as classic as it gets for PP. ...
Well played! :)
By: blomman Mr Blue : February 21st, 2019-11:28
Another "elegance without effort" looking watch! Love it! Best Blomman
Another classic beauty.
By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 22nd, 2019-00:32
I figured it would be a Calatrava, but didnβt know which.
I have seen many 570s
By: Baron - Mr Red : February 24th, 2019-05:56
I like to the think mine is amongst the best condition. I do love it.
Spot on! :)
By: blomman Mr Blue : February 21st, 2019-11:30
Even in a "rough" setting this one reeks of elegance! Best Blomman
I had a colleague many years ago who was quite a negative chap
By: NickO : February 21st, 2019-12:15
He thought everyone was stupid. He was always saying "this guy is stupid" or "that guy is stupid". Everybody was stupid. Now the problem with this strategy is that if everyone is stupid... then nobody is stupid!! When we define something we also define it...

Wow what a selection
By: andyhud : February 21st, 2019-18:33
Personally I am smitten by the Laurent Ferrier pieces, especially the Square. Such elegance and such class. Plus the movement is beautiful and I love that very few others have that same watch. Amazing selection!
Ahhhhhhh! The Mike is back! :)
By: blomman Mr Blue : February 21st, 2019-22:03
Absolutely fantastic array of stunnings shots of elegant watches ! Thank you for joining, my friend! Best Blomman

By: zabreg1 Mr White : February 22nd, 2019-09:32
But I would always gravitate to the Reverso.
Oh yes!
