I concur 100%!!
Wow!
There is lots of beautiful watches...but I have always had a fancy for a GS snowflake
Thanks to the original photographer...nice pic
As this has been resurrected, I think I'd have to vote for a Credor - help me!
It's just a matter of time...
For me, a striking tenth. On leather.
Oh yes! We all love a flake.
I hear ya....lolAs this has been resurrected, I think I'd have to vote for a Credor - help me!
I was going to post this one...
....but I've changed my mind, so instead I'll post this one....
But then how do you leave this one out......?
Or my favourite Node version (for now)....?
Sorry for the two fairly large images, couldn't be bothered to upload them to my photo hosting site and resizing them, but will do if required.
That really is beautiful. I also really like the blue AT.
I like this one for it's stark beauty, the 38mm Max Bill no date with clear dial.
This just about takes the biscuit in my mind.
....like this. Pardon the shamelessly nicked pic.
Didn't know 'Credor' but they are gorgeous.
Sorry, H4 too small. I reckon H1.........................on one of Eddie's Zulus.

Doesn't get much better than this... The moonphase just tops it off!

For me, the most beautiful watch is the GP 1966. Simple and stunning.
In white gold:
or pink gold:
The Max Bill is gorgeous as well and at a very reasonable price -- I love mine and wear it several times per week.
Cheers,

Agreed.
As the Patek 5070 has been included, I'd put this Jules Audemars in. Not perfect but getting there

For me beauty is deeper than a face, well with watches it is!! If I could afford to buy one I would like a open face Tourbillon, so nice to see the heartbeat and all that engineering working together..
My personal opinion seems to vary monthly if not weekly. Always liked the Seiko Credor Sonnerie skellie posted above, eventhough skeletons are usually not my cup of tea. Then ofc Datejust, Milgauss, Aqua Terra mid-size and similar style Grand Seikos always look good.
Love this... the price tag not so much!
Ah....well.....you see.....if you're going to play the Sonnerie card, then I'll see it and raise you these.....This is the one I'd like to add:
GBBE985 - yours currently for only ¥1,650,000 (£10,770)
GBBD987 - a snip at only ¥698,00 (£4560)

In my collection, and some way beyond IMO, still this from 1962:

everybody gets its own grail. well done.
i got some of these.
Most beautiful face for me its the old omegas like Constellation. Clear, fine.
Most beautiful watch all in all at this time for me is my daily rocker:
Coming up with just one example would be way to difficult for me, but brand-wise I think A. Lange & Sohne, F.P. Journe, and--to an extent--Arnold & Son consistently keep the aesthetics bar very high.

Tough isn't it.
On the one hand I look at the simple watches and think "sophisticated, yes, but actually 'beautiful' no..."
Then I look at the more ornate watches and think they're too much.
Looking at the watches posted so far, those avant garde gold ones on the first page strike me as truly beautiful (if not very practical), as does the Fifty Fathoms and, I'm rather surprised to find, the Nautilus, which doesn't interest me in any other way.
I'd be hard pressed to say which is the most 'beautiful' watch I own, though, even though I have firm favourites.

Breitling Cosmonaute 809 - What's not to like?
Oh so very subjective. This isn't perfect, but very close in my eyes.
The beauty, a timeless classic, functional in it's Elegant casing Engaging the wearer in it's history, and Foxy.
Timeless
Ok I really really like the Credor skeletal watch never knew of the name till I saw that picture how do I buy one?
^ Apparently some people find Dawn French beautiful too.
There are a lot of functional watches on this thread, which doesn't mean they are beautiful. There are lot's of starkly minimalist watches as well, but for me they need perfect proportions to be beautiful, and some don't make the grade for me. They look like a supermodel without the make up, the morning after the party.
If it's beauty we are after then it probably isn't a WIS brand that is going to come top, and it probably isn't a man's watch either. Something more along these lines is probably more 'beautiful' I think:
tony's jlc is the most beautiful watch ive ever examined at length
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.

Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Any Dornbluth flies into the beautiful category for me, front or back...
My other, possibly controversial choice would be the Marine Chronometer, functional beauty IMHO...

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder...not for me though and it is quite typical of modern Breitling's being very shiny and blingy..This: limited to 1000
Am sure there are a ton of contenders but one that comes to the mind at this moment is
Yes, but she isn't skeletal - big boned maybe, but definitely not the epitome of a skeleton.
For dress watch, my vote is the JLC Master Ultra Thin.
I was pointing to the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms in my reference to Dawn French, the skeleton watch post jumped in just before my post.
But as for skeleton watches, I'd rather look at beautiful women than their X-rays; I'd rather look at a Supermarine Spitfire in flight than at one of those cutaway pictures in The Eagle.

Agreed; I don't find watches with cutouts or skeletonized work to be appealing either in photos or in person. It's not something that improves any dial that I've seen, even when it's done to an extremely high standard in something like a Greubel Forsey. For me, a dial like the one on FP Journe's Centrigraphe is more appealing and coherent if one is aiming for the busy-horlogerie look.

I find it's a bit too complicated to be beautiful in the classic sense, but it still looks good and I vastly prefer it to dials with holes. Visibile movement components on the front say "I am a massive watch nerd" more than "beauty" to me.
