As I'm primarily a Rolex guy I have no watches with exhibition case backs. I've often thought it would be nice to have at least one.
We always show so many full frontal photos let's see some of the rears. :)
What is your favorite exhibition movement - pictures please!

ALS Datograph. IMO its not even close as its pretty much the best looking movement ever made

Slider817 · 17 January 2018, 09:35 PM

The ALS is special, very 3D movements, like looking into a city. Journe watches are quite special as well, their classic dress line with their gold movements and allot of hand finishing give them a charm unto themselves. I did like the classically finished movements of VC and Latek but the Journe has a more artistic and soulful flair.

SROB · 18 January 2018, 01:50 AM

I 2nd Journe's movements.... having them done in gold is an added plus.

Caseback of my Nomos Club Datum.

Agree. There are some that are more complex and certainly more expensive, but none quite as beautiful

SearChart · 18 January 2018, 05:13 PM

I like these...

SC11 · 18 January 2018, 06:41 PM

I love the AP double balance wheel openworked

This is a dial/ movement blend but outstanding to look at..

Can’t beat ALS, but me and Angelo know what the cool kids wear.

Jay (Eire) · 19 January 2018, 12:49 AM

Here's my Dato. No nasty three quarters plate in the way for this one.

Jay (Eire) · 19 January 2018, 12:51 AM

And something else. Equally satisfying but in a different way.

Apologies for the thumbs but the serial numbers don't need to be all over the internet!

That's the one for me, seeing this for the first time was something special.

tonupbklyn · 19 January 2018, 07:26 AM

that dato...good lordy!

bobernet · 19 January 2018, 07:45 AM

Nothing wrong with a 3/4 plate when it has a gold and platinum rotor in the middle. :-)

Nomos on the cheap. ALS for the ultimate.

And just because you don’t see many here the Laurent Ferrier Micro Rotor:

Here are three. The AP 15202 and FPJ are mine. The ALS 1815 Chrono is on my wishlist :)

My favorite are the ALS movements and the Journes. Gorgeous

Private watchmaker, Benzinger. Front included as well. Very Breguet. Hand-turned dial on a rose engine.

Saw this in person at the Watchbuys convention in NYC. Was blown away by the movement, all hand made.

Very impressive work as a display of skill. Might be busier than I’d like to wear.

vman · 20 January 2018, 05:37 PM

Benzinger is quite well known. The company collaborates with other watchmakers once in a while to produce stunning skeletonized masterpieces. The front looks phenomenal too.

If you're into this style, check out RGM Watch Co. Very cool too!

seal13il · 29 January 2018, 01:55 PM

My VC and ALS are not in this vault but here are the ones I keep here in my daily rotation that have a back side
