The age-old watch enthusiast question - What's your grail?
- Thread starter iliketowatch
- Start date
Its a trick question in that you might find another grail tomorrow.

This Breguet Tourbillon debuted at SIHH this year - must be on a number of grail lists! Also available in Platinum, but I think the RG version is a little more visually striking.
This Richard Mille "Dizzy Hands" is an amazing piece of engineering. On anyone's grail list? Kind of a bizarre complication, but certainly unique!
"With the first quick glance, nothing gives away the unusual horological creation inside this timepiece, except perhaps the visual layout of the hours. In every detail, part and mechanical solution one can see that this is pure Richard Mille in every sense. However, when the pusher in the center of the crown is depressed once, a slow motion ballet begins: the sapphire glass dial begins to slowly rotate counterclockwise, as the hour hand moves clockwise, both at different speeds.

My grail was Panerai 5218/202a which I have. So my new grail is now Patek Nautilus 5990.
These are all great choices! Ifovco, thanks for sharing a few pics for us all to drool over!
Wat, if you want to drool over some hardcore Lange porn, write to them and ask for a catalog - its a stunning hardcover which goes into great detail about the manufacture, its history, and their unique movements.
Wat is finding out what prompted this thread for me - there so many amazing timepieces out there! I am loving getting all of your perspectives! Keep em coming!

Does this Christophe Claret do it for any of you guys?
What about this incredible Jacob & Co Astrononmia?

The JLC Gyrotourby is a stunning piece of engineering! In the newest JLC book, they go into incredible detail on the movement in the "Hybris Mechanica' section. Truly incredible pieces! Thanks for sharing!
What do you guys think of Timezone's Watch of the Year from 2013? The Girard Perregaux Constant Escapement L.M.
Wow. Some fancy watches. Wouldn't be able to take my eyes off any of those if they were on my wrist. Probably wouldn't be able to tell you the time on most of em either.
I just want a simple watch that's easy to read and one of a kind. I want the watch JFK was buried in. No, not same model, I want the actual watch from Jack's wrist.
You guys are dreaming too low.

The high end JLC pieces are truly incredible.
Here is a grail that on the other hand is within an accessible price range.

a brand new 2014 (15?) no-date S/S ceramic submariner straight from the AD here in Toronto thank you very much.
although i do love tourbillons and complications, that sub would just be so nice to have.
