Paper architecture by Sant'Elia

Yes, I'm that guy... I find rectangular watches to be masculine and practical. They look like true machines to me and remind me the futuristic Boccioni sculptures, Marinnetti's and Mazzoni's architecture and paintings of Natalia Goncharova.

An era of man, who admired machine-like architectural environments and riding a motorcycle as a true integration of men and machines.

There aren't that many beautiful rectangular watches out there and even fewer reps.

In the past I owned Oris Rectagular Titan, which I bought for a very cheap price, but unfortunately I had to let it go. This is something I regret to this day and will definitely consider this watch again for the right price.

I think it would be interesting to see other rectangular watches you guys own, gen or reps. Are there any good reps for rectangular watches you can recommend?

Yeah, Franck Muller are great watches and the replicas seem to be accurate, right?

But they are more of a oh-my-gosh-you-just-spilled-the-chateau-on-my-gucci-shoes kind of watch :) and the font they use on their dials is too cartoonish for my taste. Do you know what I'm saying?

All of the watches mentioned in this thread are beautiful.

Franck Muller

Reverso

Santos

Flying B

I own a number of them, but my favorite is the 1931 Reverso. Truly one of the most beautiful watches ever made.

But there are even more classic rectangular wrist watches...Genta designs, like the Nautilus.

All of these watches can be worn informally as well as formal. Much depends on the strap choice.
