Rectangular watches
By: Cozmopak : January 21st, 2021-20:32
I’d like to canvass the purists to see if there are any favorites among the crowd. I happen to love shaped cases, although I might be in the minority. One of my favorites has to be the Lang and Heyne Georg, a watch well known to most of you. Any other fav...
Count me in as a fan of rectangular manual winds . . .

. . . with shaped movements. L & H is at the top of the list. [watch credit: Mitch K / photo credit: Dr No] Another that's held an attraction ever since my first viewing: GO Karree 1845 limited editions, ca '03. One of few regrets in collecting over the d...

Fair enough!

I disagree, but that’s purely aesthetic preference
Nothing will match that L&H.

They can look beautiful if done right

Like the PP 5124, I love how it curves around your wrist. A bit of cheating but I also love the Moser Swiss Alps, even when I hate the Apple Watch lol.
Ay Ay Ay... Caramba, what a beauty!

Here are some... The natural choice, the Reverso, for sure: But there are some delicious contenders. The Lange Cabaret: Credit picture: GaryG, I think. A superb Tank, belonging to our dear Geo. KV and its Peseux 260: And the Patek 5100, of course! ...
What a Salvo

Totally completely in agreement with your selection of rectangle. Please ada L&H George then I am free.
If I can only live with 2

It will be KV Peseux 260 and PP 5100. Sorry Reverso, you are my best war chest of all but the above two are the utmost death blowing weapon.
And rare!

This is a gorgeous watch

Part of what attracts me to rectangular watches is their Art Deco look, and this one screams Deco

I completely agree, I also really love unusual case designs!
By: Spencer Karrington : January 22nd, 2021-05:48
Here are a few of my fav! While I much prefer a case shaped movement that is in house (like the christopher claret, hautelence, etc...) , there are some really nice watches that either don't have an in house movement that is round but still in a nice case...
Your L&H looks fantastic!!

I am thinking about acquiring the RG version with black dial. Here is my rectangular Moser Henry Double Hairspring: Best Thomas ...
Thank you!

But not mine. I am considering
The Swiss Alp as well
By: chintu : January 22nd, 2021-22:16
Would make a lovely addition with its soft curves. The only downgrade that the Swiss Alp has suffered is in the removal of the double hairspring due to cost reasons though the straumann escapement has been retained. A real pity. If they had retained the d...
Straumann Double Hairspring...
By: MTR : January 23rd, 2021-00:36
AFAIK the idea is to exclude gravitational influences. Two self-compensating and antimagnetic helical springs oscillate against one another. Moser introduced the double hairspring in 2009 in the model Henry. But constructing and regulating the spring turn...
A fantastic watch... but
By: chintu : January 22nd, 2021-22:13
The departure of Marco Lang from the company has diminished my enthusiasm for the company, though the watch itself, with its shaped caliber and those lovely bridges, is a brilliant horological creation.
That was also the reason that let me
By: MTR : January 23rd, 2021-00:30
hesitate last year - the leaving of Marco Lang. But: the construction of the Georg and others and especially the movement remains the same. So what are the disadvantageous points from your point of view? Best Thomas
I struggled with this as well
By: Cozmopak : January 23rd, 2021-07:22
But after learning more about the company and people behind it (especially Jens Schneider, who is a remarkably brilliant watchmaker), my hesitation abated. Also, I have heard through the collector grapevine that their quality control has improved recently...
Ok. 😊
By: MTR : January 23rd, 2021-07:32
So: will you pull the trigger? Best Thomas
A couple of points
By: chintu : January 23rd, 2021-20:32
1. The Georg pieces from the initial release had some lubricants leaking into the movement and therefore the resultant problems. Several pieces had to go back for fixing this. 2. The departure of Marco Lang was a significant event; and IMHO there would al...
I also heard about the lubricant problem.
By: Cozmopak : January 23rd, 2021-20:56
I also heard that their quality control has markedly improved recently. The departure of Marco Lang is definitely significant, but the fact is that they are still making wonderful watches. Whether Marco’s departure will have an impact on the longevity of ...
The diamond end stone..
By: chintu : January 23rd, 2021-21:12
On the huge escapement wheel, is a classic touch. Gleaming steel bridges in a row ; and the frosted plate... The crown guards hugging the bulbous crown and the triple lugs are Marco Lang design originals. A treat for the eye. Not to forget those heat blue...
