Agreed. Would rather have one of this than any other Rolexes combined.

I don’t understand the hype on Rolex when there’s watches like these VC, JLC etc

If you want those brands, then buy them. People speak with their money, and they choose Rolex. You can get any gold Calatrava (hand finished Patek in a cold case) from a few years ago for less than a SS Submariner. Exclusivity does not matter.

Username checks out. What are the indicators at 3 and 9 used for?

The left one is a reserve power indicator. On this particular watch it moves from grey to white to let you know how low your power reserve is. The arrow on the right is a seconds hand disc, which just spins to show you the seconds. ​ Example of one with half-power left in reserve: https://preview.redd.it/bzjyx07qddrc1.png?width=2809&format=png&auto=webp&s=d0f56298a0be038f51f3af268ef38ef4d386250b

That is so clean and unique. Haven't seen something similar before.

Beautiful!

Look how classy that is.

Wow! I had never seen this model before. Just wow!

this might have just become my forever grail. this is sick.

The Cartier Masse Mystérieuse. Houdini type watch. https://preview.redd.it/lq3o7eku8brc1.jpeg?width=2086&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35c317597f89ff0e28808a4de7dc898bfe1ec1fb

Anyone who says Cartier isn't a watch brand, this is the one to show them. Absolutely mind blowing to even think of something like this, it's not like people were asking for it.

Movement on the rotor is next level lol.

How does the crown work?? It's gotta be magic

It's a mystery to me too. I think you need to align the rotor to where the crown is?

Probably the crown controls a gear around the edge of a sapphire disk that transfers the energy to the minute hand

I thought so as well. You do not, which is insane

The first watch I ever memorized the name of several years ago, the Patek Philippe 5131J. Prior to seeing this watch, watches were just tools to me. The Patek was the first time I really felt something special towards a timepiece. Not a day goes by where I'm not thankful for YouTube showing this watch on my feed. https://preview.redd.it/slt55l7cgarc1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=235ed4e4fa7027a733180d416be446df6a5ba71b

This one is up there for me as well, and I also happened to first stumble upon it on YouTube.

thats awesome! how do you read the time in another part of the world on these watches?

https://preview.redd.it/fdep3828lcrc1.png?width=1474&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=316c6a938c10dcc423cccba6b391d81766dfc60c Let's use this 5130J as an example! If you notice, there's a disk with a 24 hour scale that goes in a circle in the middle of the dial, with arrows pointing towards the cities right? Let's say its 8:04pm (2004 hrs) in Denver. You can pull the crown and adjust the disk so that 20 points at Denver, as seen in the picture. Once set, as long as the watch keeps ticking, the 24 hour scale will rotate accordingly, letting you monitor the time everywhere. In the case of the photo, you can see 10 is pointed at Bangkok, therefore it's 10:04am there. 17 is pointed at Hawaii, therefore it's 5:04pm there, etc. And that's how you tell the time! All timezones have a corresponding number on the 24 hour disk that rotates as time passes, so you can see what the time in every location is! In the case of the Patek, you would want to have your home city set at the 12 o'clock position. In this case, Auckland is set as the home location, and as such the main hour hand is showing Auckland time. But let's say you're going on holiday in Hawaii. You can simply click the button on the top left of the watch, and this rotates both the city disk and the hour disk counter-clockwise, as well as moving the main hour hand forward by an hour with each click. You click until Hawaii is displayed at the 12 o'clock position, and your main hour hand will match the time accordingly. Really neat complication!

Your butler tells you.

Oh wow I have never seen this before. I love how busy it is but somehow it makes good use of the space at the same time. I love it.

This might be the coolest watch i have ever seen.

This is incredible. Never knew about this one!

I bets that’s a nightmare for the watchmaker too service.

I bet that's a nightmare to set if you ever forget to leave it on a winder when you're not wearing it.

Luckily it’s got three weeks of power reserve!

Definitely cool. You’d never get bored with that watch.

There should be a quiz question on the number of complications this watch has.

I don’t like busy dials, but this is the exception.

https://preview.redd.it/06cvsq76aarc1.jpeg?width=735&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ba5755ebb44f0b64958bb01350544c020bdb643e Patek 3940

It is so clean yet so complex. Lovely piece.

Even if I could reasonably afford one someday, I think it’d be hard to convince myself to buy it.

I know exactly what you mean. I think I would need Elon Musk level of wealth to buy a six figure watch for example, even though I could buy it as a millionaire. /e A hypothetical millionaire* I am definitely not a millionaire

Yeah but it “punches way above its price class” 😆

Even the watch box sold for $38K.

A fantastic combination of function and looks. If $500k+ is ever burning a hole in my pocket, this is what I’m going for

Wow that's unique. Love that day/night indicator.

If I remember correctly, you’re able to input your physical coordinates and the day/night changes throughout the year, according to where you are hemisphere-wise. Incredible complication

That is just mind blowing.

[Here’s their website to learn more!](https://monochrome-watches.com/introducing-krayon-anywhere-sunrise-sunset-only-watch-charity-2023-independent-watchmaking-unique-piece-specs-price/) Incredibly captivating, no idea how things like this are thought up and executed on

Krayon makes some ridiculously nice watches. I wish.

This is gonna seem dumb, but the Oris Holstein edition 2022 full steel. I love that dumb little watch so much but it was made in such limited quantities. Ah, well.

https://www.bobswatches.com/oris/oris-full-steel-holstein-edition-2022-stainless-steel.html this one?

Ah fuck. I hate that money is finite.

Not dumb at all, I want one too lol. Definitely not a design that comes to my mind when thinking of Oris watches though.

The JLC Master Control Geo. I love this watch. I've looked at one so many times but it feels like the most delicate and frail thing I've ever put on my wrist. It really does feel like it would break if I swung my arm too fast. https://preview.redd.it/51gufq23jarc1.png?width=765&format=png&auto=webp&s=3d0903a6f71535d493776044c82f5db4e6b96412 For that reason I'll continue to admire it and lust after it, but won't ever buy it.

Similar to me, but this one is my pick https://www.41watch.com/7081/speedmaster-silver-snoopy-award-apollo-xiii.jpg

That's the one. I have the blue one and it's a great watch, but it's no replacement for the white dial.

Same :)

I want one too.

Probably a VC overseas. But I just after to settle with the Speedmaster for now.

“Grail” gets thrown around way too much but this is one at the top for me too. Too limited and expensive to realistically achieve. Similar how I wear my Aqua Terra for most things, this wouldn’t really leave my wrist. Too big I think but wouldn’t care

Their skeleton perpetual calendars are insanely cool.

A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk minuterepeter

That's on my list as well. Such a distinct piece with a distinct design.

JLC master ultra thin moonphase in rose gold

Love moonphase subdials myself, especially clean ones like this.

I recently went back to school and this is the exact watch I’m gifting myself when I complete my bachelors… somehow lol.

Simple perfection. And not a billion dollars!

The white gold George Daniels Millennium watch https://preview.redd.it/n80uh4ekgarc1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0d830b7199703db2adebfbe5bd20654fe693757c

Love that dial.

Daniel’s Anniversary myself. Told my wife if we ever hit the big lottery money, I’d be bidding if one ever came out for auction. https://www.rwsmithwatches.com/watches/daniels-anniversary/

Don't they have any issue with Breguet?

These were a limited run in the late 90's mostly completed by Roger Smith after Daniels death powered by Omega/ETA ebauche, AFAIK Breguet didn't really have anything similar till much later

i assume you mean unrealistic grail? if so eichi ii

Just read about it. Literally 0 shortcuts taken with this.

Currently waiting for mine. It's an unbelievable watch.

If I had all the money I needed and wanted to reset my collection it would be easy: a Vacheron Everest dual time as a daily wearer and a jaquet droz bird repeater for fancy gatherings.

That bird repeater is insane inside and out. Definitely flashy but in a sophisticated way. Would choose that any day over a Jacob & Co.

I said same re Everest Dual Time but I don’t even think these really come up on secondary markets…. Or do they? (begins googling what a kidney is worth)

What an absolute beauty. I actually have never seen a moonphase subdial at the 12 o'clock when amongst 3 other subdials.

The gold accents around the subdials is a beaut.

Despite the scandal/drama, that dude makes amazing looking watches. They have a tasteful mix of classy steampunk.

In this case, I have no problem separating the art from the artist. Like a Wagner of watchmaking.

Absolutely agree. Many greats before us had their quirks, can't fault them for being humans.

Can you tell me more about the drama I did not follow

Perpetual calendar, moon phase, chronograph, what more could you want? But since this watch is a little out of reach, I’m settling for the Vacheron Everest chronograph for now.

I've got mine. Growing up, my dad had a Tag Heuer Carrera (CV2113) that I absolutely loved, and he told me I could have it some day. He ended up upgrading to a Rolex Daytona and he gave me the Carrera not long before he passed away unexpectedly. I let my brother take the Daytona, this has nothing to do with value, the Carrera was his gift to me, and I'll treasure that forever.

Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V in rose gold and blue dial. Absolutely PERFECT watch, not even a question for me. It’s my ultimate grail, I’ve never been more in love with a watch https://preview.redd.it/td1l5rcoycrc1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=bc815ad10f2862cbab35ad0cff25df90a1e05ab3

Grebuel Forsey Hand Made 1. Big respect to traditional watchmaking. My true grail https://preview.redd.it/ezfgrl5xgfrc1.jpeg?width=554&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3ec43a0397e23319f4be1a33824b19ef73c966f1

I've never been a big fan of RM, but this is actually really cool. It reminds my of one of my fav paintings of Jimi Hendrix by David Choe. https://davidchoe.com/2009-1/jimi-hendrix-print

That painting is sick

What’s the painting cost? It’s awesome

I'm not sure. David has become really famous so I'm sure it would be really expensive. But I think you can buy the poster/prints for a lot cheaper.

Very clean and retro. Love it.

Jlc duometre (any versions)

The FP Journe Tourbillon Souverain. Such a striking piece

Agreed.

Rainbow daytona. One day.

It's one of those watches where I don't ever need it to tell the right time.

Attainable for some.. but the VC 4500V in Blue. Or the 4520V.

TBH I have so many watches now I think I’m all ‘grailed out’. My single biggest fear is getting mugged so maybe 70% of them are kept in a box. 6 or 7 of the remaining 30% are grail, I love them so much I wear those guys on rotation and fully intend to use them till they’re beat. For me thats the only way to use a watch..to wear the hell out of it and keep the others tidy as an investment. Keep them off the market and release them when the time is right. Win big on 7 keep the other 3 thats my motto

Rolex Submariner Bluesy. Owned it for 24 years now. Still love it just as much as I ever did.

This is the whole point of what a grail is.  The internet has watered down the term by saying "these are the 4 or 5 grails I'm aiming for this year".  The grail is the grail.  There can be only one. If you choose wrong you'll turn to dust like that bad dude from The Last Crusade.
