Collector Description
Last December I bought my first watch, a Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope. I have rather small wrists and over the course of the year have learned that my taste is in German watches with manually wound movements. My next purchase will hopefully be a Lange 1, but I likely will have to save for several years before I can justify such a big purchase.
Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope - This is the watch that got me interested in collecting. It is very unique and beautiful with a domed crystal. I no longer wear it as much because it is rather thick (14.4 mm) for my wrists and it draws far more attention compared to my other two watches which is a problem in the city. I am also not too happy with the build quality and have had one of the chronograph hands fall off despite minimal use (still needs to be repaired in the photo).
Nomos Metro Data Power Reserve - I absolutely love this watch and it was my second purchase. It has a subtle but playful dial with an interesting power reserve indicator that turns red when it needs to be wound and a large 6 o'clock date window. The Nomos is what got me interested in thinner watches with manually wound movements and I now prefer them to automatics. I feel that Nomos is excellent value for the money and my only complaint is that there is no quick date set so it can be very time consuming if it runs out of power.
Lange Saxonia Thin - My most worn watch in rotation; sub-6 mm manually wound in pink gold. It is very subtle and I have never had anyone notice it on my wrist. It is a watch that truly is meant to be appreciated by the wearer and nobody else. I think it is one of the best executed dress watches out there, but at the same time is very versatile and works just as well with a t-shirt. No real negatives other than the price. Lange tax included.
