Beautiful pieces, congratulations

 

Nice watches.

 

Beautiful watches - especially the Omega!

 

Good job!
I too like sector watches. I have the omega and a Furlan black sector.

 

 

Gorgeous 😍

 

Impressive. Great looking watches.

Enjoy.

 

nothing from my collection to contribute,
But I also appreciate the Patek 5296
And watches from Atelier de Chronometrie.

 

I love sector dials. Kinda sad I don't have any.

 

The Jaeger LeCoultre is such a Classic! Cool Sector collector.

 

That JLC is awesome!

 

Wow! Nice.

 

That JLC is amazing.
The thing I am curious about is whether sector dial watches are considered formal or tool watches.
As far as I know, it was originally developed for military applications so one would assumer its a tool watch. But most modern sector dial watches give off a formal vibe.

They come out of the Art Deco period. I think they were supposed to be the ultimate utilitarian design for reading precise time. Not sure if you would classify them formal or tool watches.

 

Wow, thanks for sharing. I share your enthusiasm for sector dials, although I have yet to add one to my collection. Your JLC and Omega are stellar examples of the genre.

 

Beautiful collection you have there 👊👊

 

I am all for sector dials, but also require them to have symmetry. The Merci Instruments does it right.
I had the JLC Geophysic 1958 LE for a bit and it was also "correct" according to my standards (but too pricey and delicate feeling for my taste).

 

That’s a nice collection. I’m sector dial fan my collection includes (aside from the JLC) a Habring LE that they did with Passion Fine Jewelers and the Pelton Sector LE from the Windup Watch Fair.

Habring has a lot of beautiful sector options as does Baltic.

 

Oh yeah also some of the 34mm that Kurono Tokyo has been doing

Kurono Tokyo Goes Small with Four New Limited Edition Watches - Worn & Wound

This is one for the “better late than never” file. Last week, Kurono Tokyo launched their latest collection of watches, a series of four sector dials that quickly sold out after being made available on Friday morning. These watches, sized at just 34mm, are part of the “Special Projects” series...

Lovely!

I dig a specialty collection, thanks for sharing

 

My only sector dial currently is this Pelton Sector in nickel silver. One of my favorite watches in the collection.

 

Nice looking watches. Congratulations.

 

 

Awesome group! I've long appreciated sector dials but never owned one. I keep thinking about that Omega--I think it's my favorite of the bunch.

But do you share my feeling that, somehow, Patek, with the 5296, has actually done the best looking modern sector dial?

 

I love the 5296, and think it is one of the best looking watches ever. The price is prohibitive however. It is simply not worth 4X the price of the JLC, and the JLC probably has a better movement. Here is a picture of the Patek 5296 from the sales corner. Beautiful.

 

That JLC is the best. If they were more readily available on the secondary market I'd probably have one by now. Alas, last time I looked, they were few and far between, and those listed were fetching a hefty premium.

 

I recently became very interested in sector dial watches, and have bought a few. I think they represent the essence of what a watch should be, and have considerable historical presence. Without further adou here is what I have as of now.


Jaeger-leCoultre Master Control Date, Sector Dial (Q1548530). This watch has what I consider the perfect sector dial. It has the JLC 899 automatic movement, and is 39mm in diameter with 8.5mm thickness. The skeleton syringe shaped hands are beautiful. Perfect for me.

Omega Specialties CK 859. A beautiful dial made of pure silver. It is 39mm in diameter with 11.5mm thickness. It has the Omega hand wound Master Chronometer movement 8926. The only thing I don't like is the sub-seconds hand. I prefer center seconds.

Merci Instruments LMM-01 Nationale. A simple, unadorned sector dial. It was designed to represent something the French Minister of Defence would have worn in the 1960s. It is 38mm in diameter by 11mm thick. It has the hand wound Selitta SW210 movement which is time only without a ghost position for setting the date. I really like this watch.

Axios Tribune 38, Champagne. This watch is 38mm in diameter with 10.5mm thickness. It has the Miyota 9015 automatic movement.

That is all I have. I would love to see you post pictures below of your sector dial watches. Thanks for looking.

I love that you found something you love and are going after it. 10 years of collecting and I still haven’t found a single style that I want a lot of.

 

Really marvellous collection. I add my humble Philip Watch with Eta 2824-2 inside
