"Best Looking Chrono Ever?" Six on My List, at Least Today.
In Response To: Re: Great looking! ()

Stewart:

You ask a very difficult question, "which is the best looking chronograph, ever?"

No doubt, my answer (or answers) to this question shift as often as the wind, but let me post a few that come to mind, on July 19, 2009:


  • reference 2444 . . . I love dauphine hands, and when I wear this one, I can't stop looking at it . . . all day long.

  • must include a Carrera . . . and I think they got it right the very first time . . . simplest of all, white-on-white

  • Seafarers are beautiful . . . I have owned several, but this one in the Carrera case has been my "keeper" . . . no regrets

  • three-register Siffert . . . yes, we must include a panda Heuer / Siffert, and for some reason, I like the three-register version of this one.

  • on the Monacos . . . I keep switching back and forth as to which is the favorite, between the transitional 1133B and the standard 1133B . . . today, I prefer the transitional version . . . tomorrow may be different.

  • the Sinn EZM-1 . . . a different kind of "good looking" . . . minimalist design, nice color, and a beautiful high-dome crystal . . . this one gets more wrist-time than any other chrono in my collection . . . so it must be good looking.


So those are the six best looking, at least today. Tomorrow, I may have a different answer.

Jeff
