Let's Be Square...

Been looking at pictures of square watches nowadays. Not saying I am considering acquiring one (yet), but that is also not a bad idea. I don't own a square watch and was thinking in terms of variety in the collection. Let's see your square watches or any of your recommendations. Let the fun begin... ๐Ÿ˜‰

I have a Reverso Duoface, but often find myself on the Glashutte Original website checking out this beauty:ย

Wow! That is a good-looking GO! Is that a dual time display below 12?

Iโ€™m not positive, but I think that is the hour counter display for the chronograph.ย

You're right. I don't believe that disc will accommodate 24hrs the way it is calibrated.

Wow, great squares my friend! The Hamilton looks really interesting. The Zenith with that curved case! Is square cases your thing in watches? I believe you are a guru of squares! ๐Ÿ˜‰

I've seen the Cartier in our local pre-loved site with asking of about 3,950USD. Would that be a good deal for it at the current exchange rate? ๐Ÿค” And it says unworn in the listing. ๐Ÿ˜€

Don't forget square watches play larger on the wrist than their size on paper would suggest.

That is a great-looking Monaco! The legibility is superb despite the colorway. I am stoked! What are the dimensions on this piece and what is your wrist size, if you don't mind me asking?

The dimensions (from Tag Heuer website) are 38mm X 38mm not including the crown and pushers, my wrist size is 8 inches.

I see now what you mean. It really wears larger for its dimensions on your wrist. I have a 6 and 3/4 inch wrist. Does Tag offer that piece in smaller dimension?

ยท

There is the Monza, however, only slightly smaller at 37 x 37.... but may play a little smaller because of the hybrid case style. ย With your wrist size you will need to sample your options to be sure. ย Check out the Nomos square models and also the Muhle Glashutte square models which are like 36 x 36 as well as the many vintage options.ย

The Monza is a beautiful piece. However, it doesn't speak as much to me as the Monaco. I'll take your advice and try to look at other pieces. I have to broaden my perspective and look as much as what the market can offer. Thank you so much sir.

I think at that price, you are close enough to retail that you might as well just buy it new from an AD. ย

My vintage collection had many more squares. ย I let most go already but hereโ€™s some pics. ย I wonโ€™t include cushions or tanks.ย

Wow! Never realized Hamilton did so many square models. Very impressive vintage square collection. Love the small seconds. Thanks for sharing.ย
