The Glycine airman intrigues me, I haven't bought one... yet.

IVE BEEN CHASING A 24H CLOCK FOR SO LONG ! is this the only one you've found with this feature ?

also... is that a magnifying glass at 6?

[–] Mokopa@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

This is the only glycine one I've seen with the magnifier, the newer ones don't have them... I don't know of any other 24 hour faces but I'm not an expert in any way.

Really beautiful watch

I'm pretty fan of my Junkers "Régulateur" (despite the spelling mistake on the dial)

A more risky proposition is my The One "Razor Block" binary watch, which I love the object but can't honesty say I'm really wearing

As for unobtainium watches, the Cartier "Masse Mystérieuse" takes it all : an automatic where the entire movement is inside the winding rotor - how crazy is that?

Those look really cool. I like the first one alot but cant get my head around how it works

Main dial: Minutes
Small upper dial: hours
Small lower dial: seconds

The point here being legibility by separation of the hands. There's a history to them, as regulator clocks were used as reference timekeepers in watchmakers workshops. From niche to extreme luxury, many brands embraced the style' exercise.

Definitely crazy mechanism, but I feel like seeing my hairy wrist through the dial would compromize aesthetics.

OP might like mine. Seiko Hamburger

Yeah this is my favorite one posted, looks awesome

I have this novelty decimal watch by Svalbard. I like it a lot.

[–] reallyzen@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 days ago

Woah. Had to look up that one, thanks for reminding me of the French Revolutionary Time!

Very cool looking watch, but I definitely read the brand name as “quim” twice

[–] philanthropicoctopus@thelemmy.club 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i think its just a cheap temu watch. im honestly not sure if its quim or ouim haha

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Looks like oulm, just a bad font

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 days ago

but I definitely read the brand name as “quim” twice

Great, thanks, now I can't unsee it
