: The Heuer Forum will be having a Scan Day /
: Scan Weekend (starting Friday, March 7th),
: and I thought that it might be fun to post
: over here, as well. The theme will be pairs,
: duos, companions . . . two of just about
: anything. Some ideas might include: watches
: that are identical twins (or maybe fraternal
: twins) watches that are the same (in some
: ways), but different (in other ways) watches
: that were separated at birth, and have grown
: to become different characters father and
: son cousins (first cousins or distant)
: watches shown on two wrists, as seen in the
: bottom photo anything else involving two
: watches, two cars, two children, two racers,
: two rivals, two of just about anything!!

: This should be a good one!!

Let's see what's in the archives since I have no time for new ones:

A pair of theoretically identical watches:

1947 Centenarys, Omega's 100th Jubille watch

A pair of drinking buddies after a cold dive . ..

and warmed up, dried out and perhaps hung over

titanium SeMPCs

Speedies at play at the beach

"Mark I" 1957 Replica and Mark II

A pair of old bumper autos and a little sister who could do the twist way back in the day (a rotor)

Overkill . . . does 4 pair beat a full house?

Differences rather than similarities -- 18k white gold vs. stainless steel, Seamaster vs. Speedmaster, dress versus tool, three hand vs. chronograph . . . but both chronometers

1968 18k white gold Seamaster chronometer and the 2001 stainless steel Speedmaster split seconds chronograph chronometer

Another stainless vs. white gold pair

Modern Eberhart Postillion 8 Day and 1956 LeCoultre Galaxy

Call this pair the astronaut and his elegant wife

2003 Snoopy Speedy and 1966 backwinder

Call this the two faces of the moon

1983 Phase de Lune Or -- same watch in different light -- the dial changes colors

Two modern GMTs

same size movement, very different casing and purpose

A pair of similar bracelets from different eras, different materials and different executions

Omega has very elegant items available for the ladies, as well as the gentleman

Jeff's final shot inspired me to remember this photo from a sporting event a few years back. This photo qualifies for the thread, which is about pairs and timepieces. Can you can see?

Here's a closer look . .

oh -- you wanted to see the timepiece!!!!

a game clock counts, doesn't it?
