Default Post your watch pics

Have any favorite pics of current and past time pieces you currently have or have enjoyed in the past? I have pics of all the time pieces that came and went. Some I really regret selling...

Here are some of my favorites.

Lange and Sohne "Richard Lange"

The concept of the RICHARD LANGE dates back to the 19th century. It was an era during which aviation pioneers like Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin conquered the skies with their flying machines and geophysicist Erich von Drygalski embarked on the first German expedition to the South Pole. In those days, precise, easily legible watches were indispensable for navigational purposes and scientific measurements. And A. Lange & Söhne crafted time-keeping instruments explicitly for such applications: the observation watches and scientific pocket chronometers with a fusée-and-chain transmission.

This tradition has come back to life with the RICHARD LANGE and the RICHARD LANGE “Pour le Mérite”, two fine observation watches for the wrist that pay tribute to the researcher and horology pioneer of the same name. His discovery of an improved “Metal Alloy for Watch Springs” comes to the fore in the RICHARD LANGE with the manufactory’s proprietary hairspring. The excellent rate accuracy results attained by the RICHARD LANGE “Pour le Mérite” are attributable to its fusée-and-chain transmission.

I also really enjoyed Patek Philippe "Annual Calendar". I was as happy as the Budda in the picture when I finally got one after waiting what seemed like an eternity... Think it was my first "moon phase" watch too.

I can never part with this Audemars Piguet. My father gave it to me on my 18th birthday. The watch is really much older than I am. Really thin case for a mechanical watch.

Love the Lange. For some reason they didn't appeal to me for a while, then I really investigated the brand and its history. Fascinating company and beautiful watches.

Someday I'll take pictures of mine: GMT-Master II C and TT Daytona w Arabic Racing Dial.

Do you have the Datograph in your Signature Pic?

I love Lange. Real, authentic, old school watch building craftsmanship. Yep, that is a Lange Datograph, one of my favorite time pieces ever.

I love the black IWC. I would add a matching black SS band. Reminds me of my old (1985) Porche Design Chrono.

This watch keeps time like a quartz. Sleek and absolutely beautiful in its simplicity. A true Glashütte watch. While the date function is a bit less purist, I like it for practicality and they've designed it in very tastefully.

Manufactured at Nomos by Mirko Heyne, a brilliant young 29-year-old Nomos watchmaker. The feel of this watch is exquisite quality. If you like the less flashy simplistic look, consider this one.
