Bored on a Saturday...so I thought I would write a very lightweight post including my favorite watch in my collection for each letter of the alphabet based on the brands.
I know...kind of juvenile, but have some fun and post yours...
Here goes...
A is for Audemars Piguet
B is for Blancpain
C is for Czapek
D is for Doxa
E is for Eberhard
F is for Franck Muller
G is for Glashutte Original
H is for Heuer
I is for IWC
J is for JLC
K is for Kaltron
L is for LUC
M is for Montblanc (Minerva)
N is for Nivada Grenchen
O is for Omega
P is for Parmigiani
Q is for...none yet...any "Q" brands our there that aren't Chinese?
R is for Roamer
S is for Squale
T is for Titoni
U is for Universal Geneve
V is for Vacheron Constantin
W is for Wakmann
X is for....none yet...not really a fan of Xeric...any other "X" brands out there?
Y is for Yema
Z is for Zenith
Hope you enjoyed that...now I know my ABCs 😉
This account is verified. WatchCrunch has confirmed that this account is the authentic presence for this person or brand.
Wow what a collection!!! Well played sir!! 🤛🏻
H is for Heuer… and J is for Jealous as Hell. Collection is 🔥as always!
Wow! Just wow!
X for Xemex. No longer made, but some great watches from the mid naughts with ETA based movements.
A + Z = All Seiko 😭
As expected beat me, only 19 letters covered by 42 brands; Missing D, E, I, K, Q, V, and Y
AnOrdain
Baltic
Cartier
Fears
GO
Hamilton
Junghans
Laco
Monta
Nomos
Omega
Paulin
Rolex
Sinn
Tudor
Unimatic
Weiss
Xemex
Zodiac
A + Z = All Seiko 😭
I figured I might get some crap for leaving out Seiko and Grand Seiko...
So here's an honorable mention for both...
So many great ones to choose from...

So many great choices in this list...I will be looking into Xemex for sure. Thanks!
I am missing F, I, J, Q, T, X, and Y. I must be doing this all wrong, no "T", how did I allow that to happen?
Altair
Bulova Benrus, Britix
Croton, Chaika, Columbia
DongFeng
Elgin, Eloga, Ellis, Enicar
Gruen, Gothic
Hamilton, Heliosa
Kulm
LeMarc, Lincoln Anker
Mido, Merkur
Nivada Grenchen
Omega
Pook, Phoibos, Prim, Pulsar
Roamer, Rensie, Raketa
Sallan
UTI
Voumard, Vostok
Wyler, West End, Wittnauer, Welsbro, Westclox, Waltham
Zodiac, Zvezda
I will put up pictures of my Rensie and Enicar. They share the distinction of being brands that are their founders' names spelled backwards.
Wow, as always exceptionally curated! These are not just checked alphabetical boxes, but really interesting and incredible pieces from these brands.

Many thanks for the very kind words ✨🍻

Awesome - would love to see more of the above especially...

Killer collection, wow! Impressive for sure.
Fun post and it goes without saying the obvious, that’s a hell of a lineup you have there.
That Chopard is 🤤 and imagine if they made the new Glassbox Carrera design with your color dial. I’d open my checkbook for my first Tag in 15 years.
Thank you for posting.
I need that B. How where and when can I get it. OMG, I am going to lose some sleep tonight.

That is the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms MIL-SPEC HODINKEE Limited Edition of 250 (2020) collaboration (ref. 5008-11B30-NABA). Case size of 40.3mm.
You should check with @JaeBust ...I think he has a gorgeous version of this reference. He may be interested in selling his. It is an awesome watch.
It would make a "fit" but I really think it would still be a "T" in the catalogue and not a "Q".
I have a number of Timex in the collection and think they are a great brand. All else fails, it could fill the bill.
Thanks!

Is Q all that's missing?

Thanks - saw that brand but it looks like only homage style watches. I was looking for something more distinctive as a brand.
How do you put gifs in chat?
Dang Mel! That is nuts you have a collection that has ever letter in the alphabet! How many watches total do you have in your collection? Did this idea just randomly hit you one day?

Save the gif to your computer or to your phone photos and then upload in your comment.

I have more than I would care to admit 😂
I was bored one evening and thought it would be fun to see how many letters of the alphabet I had already covered by the different watch brands.
I was even appalled at how many were in the collection 😉
But out of that exercise I now have an "X" (Xezo Air Command) and just the "Q" remains...
I figured I might get some crap for leaving out Seiko and Grand Seiko...

What about us Casio Crunchers then?

Oh man, nice selections there. I would definitely be consider putting alange in place of AP. Unless we put Alange under S for Sohn 😜

Yes - just haven't pulled the trigger on an ALS yet.
I have been close a couple of times, but something holds me back.
ALS are definitely top tier quality even if they don't retain their value.
Finally found my "Q"...
The Quasar Starlight...
Now that is incredible
