All different shapes, what are your favourites?
There are lots of different shapes that stand out of the mostly round shaped watch crowd. From the classic tank to triangles or even more organic shapes.
Do you have any watches that are not round in your collection? What are your favourites ever made or still produced today?

It's currently broken, but this Soviet Pobeda is of a shape that I cannot define.
I once had a replica W10 that might explain my affinity for C-shapes, like those old Omega Constellations. I guess we're talking analog only here and not Casio squares.
Oh, and this ribbed rectangular Bulova circa 1950 or so.

2 really interesting shapes. The ribbed Bulova is something special, almost looks like there should be a ribbed bracelet to go along with it. Very cool!

You are exactly correct. I've only seen one in catalog illustrations though. I have no idea where they all went.
I have a BR03 92 ceramic diver,they look different and are comfortable to wear
I love the Zodiac Olympus design

They released a green dial just another day... beautiful
But my favorite is still the gold version:

I've been looking at the Gold version for about a month. its a super interesting piece and I'd love to put it in rotation as a Chic dress option
I think this I a nice shape

The dial on the gold version looks amazing, they really nailed it with that one!
I have a few watches with non traditional shapes:
Santos De Cartier
JLC Reverso Squadra Hometime
Girard Perregaux Richeville Chrono
Jovial (model unknown)
Samuray (Model unknown)
This last one, Cartier Pasha, may not qualify, since it could be considered simply a round watch, but the vendome lugs make it somewhat unusual.
I got a weak spot for tonneau shapes:
(I only own the top one)
Except for the square G-Shocks the only non round watch I own is the CIGA Design Z.

Wow you have lots of unique ones. That JLC is effortlessly classic! 😍
I'm interested though, what's the lug width on that Jovial? It looks super wide

And a very ergonomic shape with that short lug to lug. Beautiful omega, a green band goes really well with a gold case.
Yeah, I think that I have one lying around here somewhere.

The lug width on that Jovial is a laughable 29mm. I bought it for $65 CDN, because I liked the color of the dial and the interesting case shape. The strap that's on it is the cheapest strap I've ever seen, and would be something I'd expect to find as a prize in a box of cereal (is that still a thing?). I haven't bothered to replace it, since it's tough finding a 29mm strap, and I know I'd never wear the watch anyway.

Thanks 😊 Bold choice maybe, but it works.
I have a Dietrich OT1 and Hamilton Ventura XXL. Others that are cushioned shaped too (a couple Doxas) and an angular Evant Decodiver. But those play as round, only the Hammy and Dietrich are really outside the box.
I have a santos now that I absolutely love. A Cartier Crash would be my lottery winner watch
Cushion case for me probably.
I love them all, it truly is art.
This unique shape case just grabs me and won't let go.
I should stop here….
