It's strange effect, but I feel that salmon dials add dressiness to sports watches and sportiness to dress watches. Plus it's just different without being weird
You're a lucky man, Bruno! Hell, I've only ever handled a platinum Datograph before... but seeing a Tourbillion with a dial like that as well... Just exceptional.
Your channel is so amazing, you should have a million subscribers! I challenge everyone who watches your channel to share it with fellow watch enthusiasts. Your descriptions and passion for the timepieces you review are second to none.... and I follow alot of watch youtubers! You Sir produce impeccable videos!
Hit the nail on the head, man. I've always wanted these videos to be educational / like a lecture around a creative subject ;) Thank you for picking it up! Talking about watch design is never boring. Thanks so much for the comment!
WOW!!! What an amazing selection of Salmon dialed watches you have shown us here. It is such a beautiful colour with so many differences in tone available. I feel that it is a colour that matches all skin colours equally well and as you mentioned although the watch may be modern, the dial colour harks back to a vintage era adding a real touch of class. Another brilliant thing about this dial colour is that it is greatly appealing to both sexes. A truly universal colour option that is in vogue once again. I don’t like the taste of Salmon but, Salmon dials are most definitely my taste. I don’t have one but, I definitely want one! A captivating video here my friend. A true joy to the eyes. Well done as always! ✊
Both sexes! Excellent point. It's much more "neutral" in general, I reckon. And you don't like the Salmon? Blasphemy! Thank you as always for the love, brother! Have a great end to your week!
For those who don't know where the pusher in the Habring2 is, you don't use any pusher to start the chronograph. You turn the crown to start it. Its a COS chronograph. What makes Habring2 watches charming are their very open architecture so that they can give affordable high-end complication. My favorite Salmon dial in this video is the GO salmon Panolunar Btw, great video as always!
I'd love to see more of their pieces in the future (would be nice to do a full coverage of the brand in more detail too) Thanks a lot of the detail Tippy - I know you love them ;)
IDGUY - Love this video. Great perspectives. Glad to see you covered some more affordable examples. At the high end, the A. Lange & Sohne Datograph is a work of art both visually and technically. However, my favorite high end salmon dial is the Patek Philippe 5001P. It is a rectangular watch in platinum with a Reverso like art deco case. The numerals are pure 20's. The power reserve under the 12 and the seconds above the 6 balance the look of the rectangular shape.
Love it. There could've been a full video dedicated to Patek Salmons (actually, that could be a thing sometime soon!) - I missed out on some real gems... Ah, this was such fun to look into. And hopefully this video will draw more people in! We're all sick of hearing what the lugs of the next Submariner is going to look like ;) - And the gondolo definitely deserved attention too... Thanks as always for the comment Karl! It's such a pleasure having you here
Another fantastic video IDGuy. I am not normally a fan of pink but the Patek Philippe 5270P with the salmon dial and the Montblanc Heritage Spirit Pulsograph with salmon dial would be two watches that I would love to add to my collection. The shade of pink that they use is absolutely beautiful. Thank you again so much for another wonderful look at some of the worlds most stunning and sought after watches.
Thank you Blueshirt! I should have addressed the colours in a bit more detail as well (but maybe leaving the images on the screen lets the viewer think more about them) - but that Mont Blanc in particular! What a brilliant move for a brand to try and bring back a classic with a warm colour as well! This was a lot of fun to cover especially since these pieces are hardly ever discussed (probably because there's a stigma about them all being seriously overpriced / unattainable)
What an interesting survey. I have a Longines 1945, and the slight pink hue is actually very subtle and visible only in certain lights at certain angles - I love it. Keep up the good work.
I'm sure like any other watch enthusiast, I've gone through a "which salmon dial" phase. This video has reignited that obsession!! I applaud your subject choice sir. Absolutely loving your content, easily one of my favourite TH-cam watch channels. Thank you.
Always a pleasure Junior! I'm glad you liked it (and it was great to look at a different area of the watch space - surprisingly, Salmon dials are hardly ever discussed)
And reading your comments is always a pleasure, Reed. Isn't it unreal that you tried on those Mont Blanc Pieces the other week? Talk about good timing ;)
From the affordable pieces, the Montblanc monopusher is a knock out. The dial is very similar to the stunning limited edition pulsograph with the Minerva movement. Great piece.
Thanks a lot Hannes. I've really enjoyed the idea of exploring a specific group of pieces lately, like "The best Modern Speedmasters" and "The best Reissue Dive Watches" - There's so much diversity in a small package. Thanks again for the comment!
Great video. One little quibble. In the Great Gatsby, Tom Buchanan made fun of Gatsby's suit precisely because it wasn't what someone with class or "Old Money" would wear. Gatsby didn't care. He wore pink because it was Daisy's favorite color. Regardless...I love salmon dial watches.
Not being a watch person (until recently) nor knowing the stories and hype behind the color, I gravitated towards the salmon Montblanc over the silvery white. It just looks amazing.
You mention the AP RO (Ref. #15202BC.OO.1240BC.01) as using Stainless Steel, but its actually made in White Gold. On Salmon in general, I'm a huge fan depending on tone. I actually own the same model of Salmon dial Daniel Roth that you highlight at 2:12 and have owned a Salmon dial Omega and Longines. Gotta say there's nothing quite as sophisticated as a well executed Salmon.
I'm currently wearing a Sinn 356 Flieger with a turned copper dial. The dial on it is stunning and actually puts most, if not all, of the watches shown here in the shade.
I like the color schemes producing an element of Elegance and Class. The Salmon Color I believe is very Unique and the Approach on these various Timepieces is Captivating and time will not change the color and with the proper hand and Indices adds Timeless Character to the timepieces. I love the color and what the various Watchmakers have done with this Elegant Color! I want one of each!
I'm a big fan of pink, and certainly my dress shirts that aren't white will only be blue or pink and I wear it casually too. But I'm not that attracted to it as a dial variation, I think because of its association with higher end and exclusivity, which is just marketing as to make a pink/salmon dial is no harder than any other colour and its not like a precious metal or gemstone, valuable in its own right. I'll always consider it a 'look at me!" status flag, which I find a bit vulgar.
And I guarantee that's why these watches aren't spoken about more often. There's a stigma surrounding them of being "Status" - but think about classic Longines and Omega's (you can still find them today) - Somehow it migrated from being a stylistic choice of its time into an exclusive colour. Kinda weird. Great points, Stu! This should have been expanded upon in the video
Just seen this. I have an Ophion Zelos salmon dial on order. The buying experience has been like talking to aficionados rather than a company.Well worth a look for a new take on production and design.All the best.
Some really gorgeous pieces being presented here! I have owned two salmon-dialed watches in the past, and struggled with finding what to wear them with. But somehow, I still would like to add another to my collection going forward. I particularly like the Chronoswiss Delphis with a salmon/copper dial. It's definitely a rarer variation, and the retrograde minutes and jump hour complications are such a cool combination.
Excellent presentation! Your photography is breathtaking. I currently don’t own a watch with a salmon dial but would like to. Maybe in the future. Thanks
I bought a Beaufort salmon dialled watch a few months ago as part of a Kickstarter project, excellent finish (rose gold case), Sellita calibre, indices are californian style. All round a very good watch
I love salmon dials as well as the AP 15202-BC in white gold and honey. Rolex could make a gorgeous salmon dial on their Day Dates and Datejusts. The closest being their Sundust offering to offset their Everose gold. Great video, thanks!
It's great that some brands are offering them now at a much more "attainable" price - like Habring & Mont Blanc. Maybe in the next few years we'll see the concept expanded? Thank you for the comment Martin!
Imagine driving a vintage cream coloured 1934 Packard Twelve model 1106 2 door coupe donning a salmon dial Patek 5001P and a Gatsby style suit? Perfect harmony of time and place. The Packard's shape and its rear wheel covers evoke Art Deco in a car.
Some fascinating history and perspective. I hope this colour doesn't become the next blue - devalued by ubiquity. Pink dials can look great and are less match match with most clothes. Not for all skin tones though! That VC Patrimony was a stunner as were the Habring2s. Mont Blanc do a great looking watch. Put another name on the dial and the whole watch community would be behind them. Imagine if AP exhibited their design skills?
A question, if you would not mind: What precisely is the difference between a "stylistic choice that has been hyped up over time" and one with intrinsic legitimacy and merit, one not hyped up? I ask with all respect and curiosity - this is something that has been of interest to me for some time.
Phew, great question. It's actually very video worthy too. There's two sides to the coin, but also a grey area where they meet as well. What is unanimously known as "good design" could also be seen as a "direction that has been hyped" - but then it deserves merit by how brilliantly executed it was. Very thought provoking. I'd actually love to sit down and put some thoughts together at the end of the week! Thanks for this MDC!
@@ID-Guy Thank you for your interest and for taking the time to reply to my question. I hope you will have a chance to express more of your thinking on this matter and we all will have a chance to read, or hear, it.
I must confess I have a weakness for Salmon and Panda dials. Something about them intrigues me. To me nothing matches more extravagantly than rose gold and a salmon dial.
Great discussion. Salmon is a colour I like but can't wear. Having ordered a 5270P and then later getting to try it on I know only too well how certain salmon/skin colours just don't work.
Really love the fact that you can have such a dynamic watch face that could match a shirt perfectly. I feel like the haute collectors deliberately go out and find shirts to match ;)
First- I’m glad you went straight into the subject matter, thanks!Second-a well presented video and Thirdly, I was afraid that you might include my favorite, and affordable Salmon dial watch, ( PP and ALS being the unattainables) and drive up the price,?before I get chance to acquire it...you didn’t!!!
I didn't look into the background of that particular "Must de Cartier" - but it would be interesting to know why they went with that choice! Maybe an anniversary? Thanks as always for the comment Michael!
If you don't like them, go for the limited edition with the carved white gold dial! It might be a bit more expensive but it doesn't have the writing on the dial and it looks absolutely incredible ;-)
If any brand is brave enough to use styles of cursive, serifs, capitals and bold letters on a piece... they get my respect ;) Let your eyes move around the dial and see how different they all are! I'd love to address this in a future video
@@pilotstyle123 What's the difference between millennial pink color and the nude color? Nude is the term I heard that describes skin color tone as well. It's also similar to salmon color.
Another thought provoking piece. Bravo! Off wrist this color family has nothing to recommend it. Yet on the wrist of a fair skinned person it is transformed. As if the movement lays under the skin and the skin itself is the watch face with hands and markers placed on the skin's surface. All this framed by a watch case with no back. Fanciful yes, but fascinating nevertheless.
such a shame that Baltic made those 2 watches limited editions (a trend that really needs to die a very quick death) and the Montblanc Pulsograph is the only watch that has almost made do a very irresponsible financial decision (ALMOST!). such a gorgeous piece from the front AND the back
Great video dissecting color and it's use. I'd be interested for you to take a look at RGM watches, I want to love them as they are an American brand in classic horology but their dial designs just come off severely dated. IMO

The pink reminds me of one of my favourite hotels, The Royal Hawaiian and my favourite watch, the Lange Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon.
I didn't get salmon dial until i saw A Lange perpetual datograph with salmon dial in life. I just could not belive how beautiful it is

The Montblanc Heritage is beautiful in the Salmon dial.
Cool right? I think they nailed the monopusher in particular. There's just so much restraint / charm to it. Thanks for the comment Ryan!
I picked one up and is just gorgeous!!!!! With the grey leather strap

A beautiful Salmon/Bronze dial that never gets noticed is the Omega DeVille Hour Vision, but Omega rarely advertises the Hour Vision in general
12:25 "stainless steel on fairer skin, it is virtually unnoticeable" - and even better than the AP is the Maurice Lacroix Aikon in Ecru

1:38 if that's the takeaway people took from the book - be classy like Gatsby - then they gravely misread it!
Hahaha! Be a shady liar like Gatsby!! At least he dressed well
You forgot the Sinn 356 II Flieger that has a beautiful Salmon Guilloche dial with sirige hands and arabic numbers.
What about the Patek Pagode limited edition from 1997
The Salmon AP 15202 is white gold and not steel as you have specified?
Now I wanna eat sushi
Can someone here tell me how they actually bring the salmon color on the dial, is it the metal itself or they coat/paint the dial ?
I wish the date windows would keep the color scheme

What's the difference between millennial pink color and the nude color? Nude is the term I heard that describes skin color tone as well. It's also similar to salmon color.
