37 watches and one weighing machine! (29 of 33)
By: bernard cheong : May 25th, 2012-05:50
The heaviest of the lot are these 5. The MB&F 1 is below 200gm, but mainly because I have a custom short strap, and I am sure it is a tad above 200gms. The SEIKO is heavy, and it is steel. The bracelet is not really that heavy, although it is a hand finis...
Great post.

Totally Amazing!

Hey, Bernard - What a great post. I was surprised to see how light the MB&F is, as well as the De Bethune. Something just told me those pieces would be heavier. And the Opus? Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my... I've been hypnotized by that piece. It is a heavy ...
Yes! The DB28 was amazing..sheese...

I am wondering if the owner of the super light RM has any more humble/less costly pieces to do a shot of comparison. The weighing scale must be calibrated, or the same one used to weigh both watches or more. We are dealing with just fractions here...even ...
Balance and fit is critical

We touched on this topic a few weeks ago [Click Here] and came to the same conclusions: balance and fit are more important than weight and size . Andrew
Thanks..the CDC post will be interesting later.

It serves to stabilise the big watches, preventing swing and slide. It can also be used as a seperator to hide , not reveal, another watch higher up the arm.
Is that a trick question Bernard?

I counted 36 frames, plus the HM1=37.... BUT! You sneaked in a CdC! So that's really 36 watches.... or do I need glasses? Joking aside, this is a great post! Surprising to see how much some of these watches weigh! The DB28 is ridiculously light!
VERY perceptive...it was an honest oversight.

The cdc 's weight needs to be known to all who wish to wear BIG watches. I will explain later...but you can get one made, no need Hermes..too expensive. But if you wish the best, then get the Barenia, because of the old world vegetable oils and open pores...
Thanks,

Nice post Bernard and very informative. I actually did this with my collection a few weeks ago following AndrewD's post regarding weights of watches... But did not snap pictures of them all! When I did it the surprise was my Freak which I never realised w...
