Non round dialled watches- whatcha got??

[johnbaz]

Hi all

just wondering what peeps have in square, tank oval in fact anything other than round cases and does anyone like fancy shaped watches????

A few of mine...

1958 (my birth year!) Bulova with fancy lugs (dunno if there's a name for this shape )


'Fraid i wouldn't know what shape to call this Valjoux based Carronade chronograph


Milos, this watch has a 'decorated' movement (faux cotes de Geneve!!)


Omega Geneve..


TV screen Seiko5..


Another TV shaped dial but this time a Timex


Talis..



I have a load more but it appears i've not taken any pics of them..

Any pics anyone??

Bullhead case design, I think is the name.

I'll sling in a JLC Reverso because they're all the same sort of design… different complications and metal choices depending on your budget




And yes, an entire new movement was designed by JLC to fit a retrograde chrono into the Reverso case. The movement designer, Philippe Vandel, took 3 years over the construction and claims that it was harder to design than the fascinating gyrotourbillon in the Reverso case… that's some achievement...

That's got a lovely face, faces, dial, dials...hell, you know what I mean Cyberface. This comment was meant to be so simple!

I'm a round dial watch fan, so only have this which was left to me.

Impressive... but what is more impressive is that that must be your shortest post ever.
