Hi guys, first timer here, just looking around and decide to ask a simple question.
I am looking for a full hunter pocket watch of a reputable brand. So far, I have only been able to find this:
Audemars Piguet Grande complication hunter-watchI had look at Patek Philippe's hunter watch, and think that the face is a little too plain (Then again, all the Patek Philippe I have seen in shopws are plain face). And since it is a pocket watch, size does not really matter, so I thought, why not just go for grande complications. I am not looking for a lot of complications. Just a couple like moon phases and chronograph. Minute repeater is a big plus, but I think I can do without the perpetual calendar.
I really say that it is unfortunate that grande complication wrist watch are huge, because I have tiny wrists. The IWC Grande complication looks like a giant glove when I put it on. Bleah...
So there TL;DR, I am looking for a good full hunter pocket watch with some complications involved.
U must be making a load of money in Australia!
moon-phase + chrono+ minute repeater = Grand Complication.
IWC grande complication wrist watches avg around AUD$250K
they are also ~42mm if 42mm is big. U are looking for a 40 or 38mm?
any chrono today are at ~40mm.
A grand complication with Chrono would not be small.
This Patek grande Complication is at 37mm. priced at ~AUD$230k, any smaller U really need to get a custom order pocket watch from PP. esp if U can drop AUD$0.5M, getting it done with PP is certainly no issue. else just get the AP U found it retails ~AUD$610k.
for me or many of us here money is a major issue!
