I reminded me of a great big Super Bowl winners ring....of a team that has won three Super Bowls...three diamonds surrounded by a material that matches the winning teams jersey such as onyx or jade etc. Looking at the rings I suppose the very vaguely nearest real one would be the Steelers 4th ring from 1979Originally Posted by stolid
Super. I love it. Perhaps cos it reminds me of a television.Huge & square & '70s and maybe a bit of an acquired taste.

sold this one a while back, almost as good a time keeper.
Couldn't agree more with you Kirk on the Reverso GMT:) I tried it on while waiting for my flight in Paris last week and couldn't stop thinking about it.... :? Pure class and perfect size for a dress watch. The price is a bit steep in this economy however :( I will trade my Bremont with you though :D Cheers!
I have several but these 2 are my favourites. (possible affordable ones.)
Reverso
GP Chronograph XXL Off-Centered
i like the look of the cartier tank..
is there a rectangular automatic with 100m wr? tank is 30m, as most of the ones i saw in this thread (great pics by the way)
any rectangular "classic" that could be homaged? i suddenly realized that eddie hasn't one (hint hint), and i wonder why the past military watches were all round
Trust me ... time is round
Can I offer a counter-argument:
Dave
Either this:
...or this.
Probably the latter.
Cannot live with square/oblong watches :(
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
That's the God of all square watches....! Thanks Dave.

One of my fav's Zenith Port royal
It would have to be a Caritier Tank or a black Rado Ceramica.
This is the only one I have that is close to square:
Did seriously consider a BR01-92 Blue, but went for an IWC Aquatimer 2000 instead.
Not been able to afford any more high end watches since then due to going through a divorce!
The end is in sight and maybe I will be able to add to my collection?
Regards,
Charlie.
I have two square watches:
Black Tag Monaco and a Bell & Ross 01-94
(have to work out how to upload pics later!)
Movado/Zenith TV dial.
Going to have to go with my Longines Evidenza chrono. I was gutted earlier in the year when I tried a Tag Monaco only to find it was too small on my wrist
Probably a Monaco chrono for me
My ML that I moved on a few weeks ago ...
It was a tough call ... but needed to sell to fund new purchases...
Long time fan, and now owner of a JLC Reverso...a design classic. Cartier Tank a close run second, but needs a leather strap IMHO, the metal bracelet Tank Francaise doesn't do it for me. Chronoflex, tan strap....nice. If you're on a budget, the Longines Dolce Vita chrono is a decent substitute.
I should say TETRA:
But it is the classic Reverso:
My Monaco....
That looks shweet.
A Franck Muller Conquistador Cortez King Chrono. I would love to be able to post a picture of one on my wrist.....I really would
Below a pic of the favourite (easy as it is the only one so far :mrgreen: ) square watch in my collection. Hopefully it will get the company of a JLC Reverso at some point.
The Reverso is a true grail for me...

My personal favourite is heuer monaco, or the gulf edition.
One day.....one day.... I hope!
I really enjoy my Eterna 1935, Grande Automatic:
Is that a Sudoku watch? Odd. :)Below a pic of the favourite (easy as it is the only one so far :mrgreen: ) square watch in my collection. Hopefully it will get the company of a JLC Reverso at some point.

A celebration of a famous 18th century Swiss mathematician :roll: :D
'Against stupidity, the gods themselves struggle in vain' - Schiller.
Finally....someone posted the watch that I've been eyeing....just can't seem to get it to sit right on my girlie 6" wrist :| For some reason, I believe that the previous generation of these chronos are a bit smalle right? Can someone confirm make my day? :)
One of my fav's Zenith Port royal

Yes, it is a Sudoku inspired watch, apparantely Leonhard Euler (mathematician from 17th century is supposedly an inspiration to the Sudoku game) Anyway I just really liked the dial (hard to capture in photos). ...Or you could call it a Frank M wannabe if it makes you happy :wink:Or Frank Muller wanna be :-PIs that a Sudoku watch?

Got to agree. That is just pure class...want one!Zenith Class El Primero - IMO one of the most beautiful watches ever made. One day I'll take a decent pic to do it justice.
Here are a few of mine....
And I don't know if this one counts....
but I like it. :)
Best Regards - Peter
I'd hate to be with you when you're on your own.
Does the Radiomir count as square/rectangular? If not then the Tag Monaco would be it for me. The only Tag with good resale value IMHO
My Monaco....
I've got also got a monaco (black), but it just looks dull next to yours!
Have not seen one like that before - great looking watch!
Quite liking the Vostok red square, Even thinking of makeing a purcahse anyone
got experance of these?
Got to be a monaco for me :) 8)
JLC Grande Date for me.
Wow...yes it is a beauty indeed. Could you share more detail about this model? Name...size...year made....price.... Thx.

That is one gorgeous watch!

Square, you say?
:D :D
Love this watch - and its cordovan strap (made from horses' bums, apparently) by real Spaniards. Fancy.
Regards
David
Could not agree with you more.
This is one of the most unusual and beautiful watch dials ever, but but just can't quite bring myself to trust the movement...
I think that I need to really start looking for a square watch, 'cause this thread has inspired the more post from me than any thread in a long while.
Thanks to everyone for the awesome pics.
Cheers,
seb.
I like thisand I often thought of getting it but I couldn't live with the DD module. I have the same feelings about the Tag Monaco which is higher up the list that the Schaumburg Squarematic.
john
Genius!
Ridiculous, but magnificent all the same.
Except it reminds me of a sodoku... would keep trying to solve it!

Seb

I've got a blue Monaco which would be my choice, but that really is very nice. If I could have one as well as my blue Monaco I'd be there in a flash!My Monaco....
Nice. Always liked these. Tried to get one years ago, but never happened.Huge & square & '70s and maybe a bit of an acquired taste.

Very nice! I'm really impressed by the design of this one.Tao 'Auto Accuracy'.

I do like the Perrelet cushion range as look lovely in Jura's window - only trouble is it's like committing financial suicide if you ever want to chop it back in
Oh yes considering the number of discount sales for Perrelet actually, the resell price will be ultra low. But I would except some models like the "double rotor", they should resist better.
