Rectangular, black dial with texture/guilloche, roman numerals.
Any suggestions?

I thought this was hand wound but it’s automatic.

The Reverso is too long and narrow for my taste, I'd prefer a more even design.
Being a contrary b'stard, the Nomos Tetra is too square.
So somewhere in between.
The Seiko is interesting, but still quartz.
Budget? Harder to quantify, probably not PP Ellipse (much as I like them) territory, but four figures is not out of the question.

Nice find. A little too big, but that in hand-wound movement would be along the right lines.I thought this was hand wound but it’s automatic.
Thanks for all the ideas, from all ends of the price spectrum.
* The D&S Areodyn is a lovely watch, and not one I would have found otherwise.
* Cartier, of course, should have thought of that myself.
* The Longines is good, and there's a local-ish dealer.
* The Lang und Heyne Georg looks fabulous, and has a price to match. I would love to find one, but way out of my league.

This thread has made me dig mine out. Not worn it for an age. Nice dial.* The D&S Areodyn is a lovely watch, and not one I would have found otherwise.

I got it a few years ago used for under budget. Not sure where they stand now.

The L&H Georg is way out of my league too - but it popped up on my Facebook page today. It was new to me so I thought I'd share it. You're right - it is gorgeous.
Thanks for the share; I have no problem looking at such workmanship even if I could never imagine a situation where I'd be wearing one. Appreciate the art. desolate said:

You should wear it, that dial needs to see the light of day (or candlelight at least).I got it a few years ago used for under budget. Not sure where they stand now.
Wish it was a manual movement; I always get range anxiety with an automatic, and much prefer taking ten seconds each morning to wind the crown (like feeding a tamagotchi...)

You can still wind an auto each morning if you want to.Wish it was a manual movement; I always get range anxiety with an automatic, and much prefer taking ten seconds each morning to wind the crown (like feeding a tamagotchi...)
Will wear it for a bit and see how it feels.
