    What's your favourite time only watch?

    Enough with the complications, today's world is complicated enough. What is your favourite time only watch, be it that you own it or not?

    Here's the one for me (pic shamelessly stolen):



    Cheers,

    Funnily enough, a Hentschel for me too



    One day, one day

    As for what I've got already, all nine of my mechanicals are time only. Perhaps this one is favourite? At the moment?

    The others have a date complication ( or GMT or chronograph too )

    Lovely choice that Hentschel, and one I'd not seen before. The black dial on their site is a beauty too, and best of all, it's 38.5mm!

    My choice has to be the 1018 turned 1016:



    Though this one is a strong runner up:

    Here are three of my favourite time-only pieces that have recently come back from a service with Brendan. Brendan gets the credit for the photos and a great job!



    4625 from 1956



    4786 - Disco Volante (1953) and 6441 (1962)

    All my watches tell time only,even if some additionally tell other elements of time rather than just being a sundial.
    None of them do laundry,wash dishes or drive my car!

    It's a toss up between these two, but eventually I'll be down to three from the present eight and then the answer would be Dornblüth.

    Similar to the Dufour, I'd say a poor mans version, for how much you can say a few k on a watch is a poor version

    Edit: Oops, date complication

    Currently owned by me, almost certainly my Smiths Everest.

    Lusted after: my sensible choice would likely be a Rolex Explorer but if I was feeling a little adventurous a Panerai Radiomir of some flavour.
