Ok allwoundup; that is a perceptive and appealing post. I really enjoyed it.

 

Wow. This is beautiful.
These are very pretty too, thanks for sharing them.

Also thank you so much everyone for those great car designs and those beautiful specimens of art deco architecture, Fort Worth, San Francisco, New Zealand -.... they reminded me of one of Detroit's stunning art deco high rise -- but for some reason I cannot find my pictures of it

It just dawned on me the following could almost be called an "art deco" watch strap?
Considering I'm a bit of a strap fiend it would be a groundbreaking discovery in my book

 

thank you yes ;-))

A Scottish designer/artist/architect by the name of Charles Rennie MacIntosh was one to delve heavily into Art Deco motifs on many of his works. Stained glas examples. Many other of his applications of the Art Deco influenced designs are readily available on line.

 

Another of Charles Rennie MacIntosh’s works. This on a place mat my wife bought in Stirling, Scotland, in 2000. MacIntosh has such a strong influence in Scottish design and art, that my wife feels the Scots might be offended if I call this design, Art Deco, not Celtic. But I feel it qualifies as Art Deco.

 

This one's pretty damn cool.

 

The case I put it in isn't too shabby either




The dial design on the Tissot exist on an Omega tank as well...

 

Love that case, Troels!
I have the more common Omega. I always have an eye out for these in the various colors.

 

Wow. That movement with those angular plates is unbelievable—
and the “kicker” is that quintessentally art deco pattern around the screw:...

 

The case is also a beauty and goes perfectly with the watch !!

 

Here's a photo that I just snapped of the historic lobby in the Twitter Building:



The level of restoration and ongoing maintenance here is amazing.

Beautiful. There's definitely something to be said for a real computer screen.
I Phone didn't really do it justice.
