Handset Styles

I’m in love with “fat” hands mainly the hours one, I like the one from Wise in the adamascus or sumo hands from seiko

The razor sharp dauphine hands of Grand Seiko are my favorite.

Broad Arrow

My number one is the Syringe style and my number two is the Arrow style hands.

Rocket ship hands ?

My favourite for legibility is syringe hands.

There is also the 1/2 Lance, designed by Don Loke. So when the hand intersects the hours it completes the arrow

I am fond of Cathedral hands.

GS makes some of the best hand Luv their GMT SMGM221

Cathedral, blunt stick, pointed stick, round stick, one arrow (never two), sometimes sword, sometimes dauphine.

Stick hands must be equal width.

For “crazy hands” I nominate the Doxa Army, but for something more standard I love the Seiko Marinemaster SBDX001 hands.

Lance or Leaf are my favorites, Dauphine and arrow the wrost.

Kurono has the best hands !

For at a glance legibility I like sword hands…

But I feel syringe hands offer the most precision…

But I’m also a sucker for the sharpness of dauphine hands…

I also love snowflake hands…

And thermally blued hands against a pure white dial are stunning…

Honestly there’s not too many hand sets I dislike.

Honestly I don't mind but the hands must be pointy. So no square or snowflake for me.

The watch is good but beware the Damasko customer service prooved to be horrible. Unfortunately, I will never want anything to do with them anymore.

I have a post on my impression about the DK32, in case you want to know more about it.

Jazz hands . . . 😁

Thanks for the chart. I think I can figure most of them out but what kind of hands are on the Seiko, my SBP 187 have the same set.

If Google is correct I'd classify as dauphineXsword

Leaf and sword are my faves.

I don't have a favorite, per say. but I know what I don't like.

Snowflake hour hand 🤢

hands that are too thin, like delphine, depending on the dial size.

I'd probably pick sword hand or pencil style hands as my favorite, if I had to choose

Simple batons matching indices.

Dophine and Baton here!

It’s hard to pick 1 favorite but I think it’s the Dauphine

Leaf or sword for me..especially like the iwc mark xviii hands

For me it’s Breguet hands:

Love the Dauphine Arrow Hands on the #omega #aquaterra. But legibility in darkness is limited 😋
