Jeager Lecoultre made a fantastic mecha-quartz watch some time ago. I can attest to its beauty, as I use to own one (picture is not of mine).

They were absolutely perfect. I sold it because, well, one can never be sure when an older quartz movement will give out.

I have an Omega Albatross, and a mondaine stop2go,Gotthard tunnel edition. I only bought it because the bezel is cut from the train door that used to drive through the old route.
The albatross is half mechanical and half quartz. I don't have any pictures because I have not seen the watch yet. I am also one the look out for an Omega TC1 or 2, although prices are quite steep for what is essentially a Pulsar watch.

I guess I am a little different than some of the collectors here. I don't mind quartz watches and I have a few I wear often. I particularly like HAQ watches and have started collecting a few.

I have my Seiko LaSalle I have owned since the early 80's


My 8J56 based Grand Seiko that IMO has a killer dial


And because I am a sucker for textured dials I just purchased this from Japan

So lets see some HAQ/HEQ watches you own

For those of us who are quartz-impaired, HAQ means "high accuracy quartz", yes?

Yes, I love this thing 🥰

It's been away for a while for a battery replacement, but tonight I pick it up after work 😁
