SALMON Dial Watches: Why Are They Special & RARE? (Rolex, AP, Patek, A. Lange & Söhne, Longines)

A Discussion around Salmon Dial Watches aimed at how the style has evolved, become rare, popular and sought after by the broader watch collecting community. Looking at the history of the colour pink and how it became fashionable, how the colour of Salmon became popular on watch dials from the 1920's - 1940's and how modern approaches aim to pay tribute to design styling of that time.
The colour represents a time gone past. Where many enjoy the peculiarities of "tropicalized" colours on vintage watches, the warmth of Salmon shows the watches age but not its wear. An interesting colour that wears well, is extremely unique and adds an X factor to an already enticing design.

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

@boeingdriver29 3 года назад

The pink reminds me of one of my favourite hotels, The Royal Hawaiian and my favourite watch, the Lange Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon.

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! ✊

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!

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.

@ID-Guy 4 года назад

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)

@karl_m3013 4 года назад

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.

@ID-Guy 4 года назад

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.

@MostlyRight88 4 года назад

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.

@MainerInJapan 4 года назад

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.

@stueyx 4 года назад

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.

@ID-Guy 4 года назад

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

@jameshoward9700 3 года назад

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.

@ID-Guy 4 года назад

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!
