Query: Dress Watches with No Running Seconds Hand?
Image: Celadon Imperial Peacock
Hey all, does anyone know of good auto/manual dress watches without a running seconds hand? Preferably under USD$3000.
I can’t seem to find a lot of info or listings of these online, and the ones I do find are Über expensive. Does deleting the central seconds really cost that much? Just wondering what everyone else has in mind.
Small seconds and/or date window are also welcome 😁

Hamilton Intramatic. There a few variations, some more dressy than others. Not sure if it’s your taste but the seconds hand is absent.
Hamilton American Classic Intra-matic reissue is an automatic two hander. 38mm from memory.

This is THE ONE!!!
Nomos has some but they are all pretty small under 33mm.
Search “duo” on their website and you will see all two-hand options.
I don’t like the center second on dress watches but with two hands I will be concerned if the watch is really moving, especially with manual winding.
My happy medium is the small second😊
I missed your note that small second is welcome.
I guess there are plenty of options but my pick would be Longines Heritage sector dial.

Longines has more models with small second and Nomos has many too.
I just leave the second hand off in some of my builds. They are distracting and my phone does a better job of timing stuff unless you have a good minute track.
Do you have the Celadon? It looks great 👍. I might order one myself.

Just stare at the thing for a minute ! OR listen for it ticking ?? :)

Don’t order it! I want one!
Lorier Zephyr. Heat blued hands. Miyota 9000 movement. Comes with a black and a brown strap.

I'm definitely interested; but the movement it uses has been discontinued by the manufacturer. So I'm concerned about that.

Have this one, too. Absolutely love it and don't miss the seconds hand.
