Watch 40 Maranez
This Maranez Layan watch with green California Dial was submitted by Markus Sundstrom (instagram user @mr_sundstrom)
'I really like this watch because of the great value. It's not my first watch, nor is it my most expensive. It's brass, not bronze. But despite all this it is a great piece with its half roman, half Arabic numerals! Check it out!
Regards ,
Markus.'
Watch 39 Cartier

Watch 38 Heuer
This Heuer Autavia "Jo Siffert" dial watch was submitted by James Lamdin. (instagram user @analogshift)
'The Heuer has the same color scheme (Panda dial with blue highlights) as the model worn by legendary racing driver Jo Siffert. As a Porsche enthusiast (and really just a vintage car enthusiast in general), to me there is no watch that better exemplifies the connection between motorsports and timepieces. I lusted after a Siffert Autavia for many years before finding one that I could afford. It is perhaps less desirable (being manual winding) than the Calibre 11 Automatic versions, but is actually quite a bit rarer - and I actually prefer the look of the triple subsidiary dials to the two on the automatic. It is without a question a permanent part of my collection.'
Watch 37 Doxa
This Doxa Sub 300 Professional 'Black Lung' watch was submitted by James Lamdin. (instagram user @analogshift)
'The DOXA is really the timepiece that got me into watches to begin with (through discovering the brand in Clive Cussler's novels) - and it took me TEN YEARS to find a good one. Although I had a few others come through the collection, none were original/special enough to fit the bill.
This one materialized just this past spring, sold to me by the son of the original owner, who found it in a desk drawer after about 20 years of it just sitting there.
It is a very rare prototype dial featuring a "filled in" US Divers/Aqualung logo known to collectors as a "Blacklung". Subsequent production models had the logo executed in outline only, as it was decided the full printed logo would make the hands hard to see when they passed over. Less than 20 were made, and about 12-13 are accounted for today. I actually haven't yet disclosed my find (which came with the original papers) to the DOXA community, but when I do I'm sure it will be to-do.
The bracelet I have on it is slightly later, which is why the end-links don't fit properly. I'm working on rectifying this, but could take some time to find them.'
Watch 36 Seiko

Watch 35 Ancon
This Ancon watch was submitted by Mike Doyle (instagram user @thewatchcollective).
After Painting the Meisturwek-Machinen MM-01 yesterday I found painting smaller quite difficult today. The circle of the bezel and the perspective of the watch were continually screaming at me. I fought them back with brush in hand and finally subdued the Ancon. Today's painting actually makes me very happy.
Watch 34 Meisturwerk Machinen
This Meisturwerk Machinen MM-01 watch was submitted by Meisturwerk Machinen. (instagram user @meisturwerk_machinen)
"MM-01...from my paper to your reality and back to @sunflowerman pages lies beauty in it's timeless simplicity."
I love this watch! From the beginning of the 100 Watches Project Meisturwerk has been a great supporter. His love of great quality, luxury items extends to his love of art. When he submitted his MM-01 watch he asked about the possibility of getting a larger format image. We talked it out and I happened to have a book on 'The Birth Of Western Civilization' that was quite large.
The Western Civilization book was produced around the same time period as the Sherlock Holmes book. Which meant for me that the quality of the paper is perfect for painting with watercolor. Meisturwerk's consistent excitement and encouragement helped to make this one of my favorite watches to date.
Watch 33 Billy Kirk

'I changed the strap to feature Billy Kirk leather straps. Billy Kirk is an awesome company that produces some amazing leather work!'
Watch 32 Billy Kirk
This Braun Analog watch with Billy Kirk Double strap was submitted by Jared Grellner. (instagram user @thefashitecteur)
'I changed the strap to feature Billy Kirk leather straps. Billy Kirk is an awesome company that produces some amazing leather work!'
Although the bezel and dial of a watch tend to steal the show this is the first submission with the intent to feature the strap. This is an exciting opportunity to delve deeper into the horology world. It's not all about the face, sometimes it's about the strap.
