What are these classic watches to absolutely get ?

As I said in a previous post, the future, IMHO, is not so good for us, watch nuts.

What would be your selection, your watch dream team ?

For me, with years of collecting, thinking about, doing mistakes, this would be my selection:

Some dressy watches :

PATEK Calatrava:

Military watches:

Rolex or Panerai, or IWC Ocean 2000 Bund :

Chronographs:

Innovative :

High end :

Complications:

Of course each selection is subjective .... What about yours ?

OOOPS , I forgot one of my fav

First of all, nice to see you here...

Impatient to see your selection.

As for the last watch, the UN, this is a Freak, a discontinued watch for the moment... Maybe they will reintroduce it to their catalogue in a few months, but this one is right now a cult watch...

Tourbillon Caroussel, 42mm, white gold case, silicium double escapement, the first of all the concept watches!

Profites bien de ce site, et participes!

A bientot!

Nicolas

Hi Nicolas, thanks for your kind words....

Like many of us here I love so many watches that I could list here, a huge list of watches of which I am sure a few will become 'Classic'. But in answering spontaneously, here a few:

IWC Grande Complication

IWC Grande Complication

Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Concept

AP Royal Oak Concept Watch

Jaeger-LeCoultre Repeater

Jeager-LeCoultre Repeater

Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph

Patek Philippe Nautilus Chronograph

Jaeger-LeCoultre (Antoine LeCoultre) 8 Days Perpetual Calendar

Jaeger-LeCoultre 8 Days Perpetual Calendar

Many others, like JLC Amvox2, IWC Portugaise Caliber 5000, Rolex Anniversary GMT (Black Dial with green writing), Panerai PAM 00208, and on and on I could be going. There are also watches that will become without any doubts 'classic' but simply not for my wrist.

Now, what I am wearing today, an Omega Speedmaster 'Apollo 10' ;-)

A lot of lovely and highly collectible watches...

You're a man of good taste, Dédé!

Taste... is about the only thing that remains unTAXed :-)
