Favorite Complication
Okay, I’m sure this has been asked before but I’m curious and too lazy to search. What is your favorite complication on a watch you own? And why is it your favorite complication?
I personally waiver on my favorite complication all the time. Sometimes it’s a date complication because of the practical use. Right now, it’s a moon phase just because of the simple beauty.

Probably the GMT complication. I like the 4th hand.
My wife?
GMT and my wife also lol
Cheers!
My wife?
You own your wife? I said your favorite complication, not your most expensive. 😂🤣😂
Moon phase for me and world time with a map thingy 🤷🏻
The date, I use mine regularly.

I certainly don't own her, but she can be both a complication and expensive.
Difficult to choose. In the picture below I have 2 chronographs, 2 GMTs, one world timer, one moon phase, one annual calendar and all of them have date complication..
It's complicated.
Sometime I don't want any complications and go for a simple 3 hands watch, which is why I have quite a few 369 watches in the collections. Sometime I want to time meetings, which is where a chrono is handy, and sometime I just feel like I want something that has everything and I pull out the SNA411 with its sliding rule/log dial and bezel (but hey, it has an alarm/dual time zone subdial so it's also practical).
My favourite complication is a ticking second hand ! No day ! No date !!!! . If i want complications i will strap on my GShock !!!! Yeah !!!! I love the elegant plain watch without the Library of Alexandria printed on the dial !!!! Just as a fellow Cruncher stated “ my two satoshi’s worth “
Probably a minute repeater. Although a well done moon phase is pretty cool as well.
If we are only counting watches I own, then definitely the date. It's on every one of them.
Personally, I really like dial craftsmanship! Materials used, engraving, etc. Not sure if that counts though. If I had to choose a mechanical complication, it would probably have to be retrograde hands!
From the watches I own the jumping hour. Uncommon but very-VERY quick way to read the time at a glance and a little regulator vibe.
I also love the Moonphase complication. Very poetic and (sometimes) so beautifully made. But not in my price range and I assume it's a pain in the a** to set it up everytime the watch stops running.
Me.
Date for me, and yea, day-date too! And I'd really like an alarm - unf. there are few affordable (mechanical) alarm watches, let alone with a decent water resistance. And while I'm at it, compass please :)
