In honor of The 2015 Belmont Stakes and American Pharoah's possible Triple Crown win, I thought it would be fun to show off our own "Triple Crowns"! Here's mine, complete today with a new BOR for the 11630. How about yours? Need not be all the same brand

I will see your three single-crowned watches with the one on my wrist that actually has three crowns... And a new alligator strap I bought this afternoon from Cie Bracelet Montre!

 

I never got my Triple Crown. I wanted a solid gold trifecta of Longines date-at-12's - owned 2, but never found the 3rd. Had a few opportunities for a stainless Conquest Power Reserve, but one thing this hobby has taught me is never to settle.

 

It has turned from a crown into a GRAIL! Even sweeter when we find those and they sit on our wrist for the first time!

 

That's what I'm talking about Lou! Sweet!

 

This was a tough choice, and the Skyfall did not make the cut.

All blue dials and in no favorite order: JLC, Gemini 4, and Fifty Fathoms.

I could probably keep going....

 

Hold on a second!

Isn't Longines the 'Official Timekeeper' of the Triple Crown? Then surely that makes my Triple Crown these golden 18K winners:



1) Admiral 'medicus pulsus'
2) Flagship, date@12, and, Uh ..... Ooh, but wait...

It looks like we have a dark-horse winner! ;

3) An 18k Zenith cal 146D Chronograph has slipped through!!

Congratulations to the amazing horse, American Pharoah for finally ending the 37-year Triple Crown winner drought .

 

Your 50 Fathoms is going to be giving me wet dreams!

 

Here's an observatory-champion Triple Crown: the cal 135 in steel, yellow gold, and pink gold.

 

This is my triple crown. A little pedestrian compared to some of the collections I've seen around here but these are the three I long wanted to get ...

 

Can't beat this for pedigree! Dibs!

 

you mean like this one ?

 

Just had a thought...I have another triple crown...

Automatic chronograph, perpetual calendar, moonphase...

 

Ummm, pretty sure I could live with this trio.
Nice idea for a thread. I'll just sit back and watch.

 

My JLC trio of vintage + modern. (I hesitate to label them as a 'triple crown', 'trio' will do fine!)

They're all 37mm, which I find is the perfect size for my wrist. A nice mix of complications - PR, alarm, and TDMP - and various dial shades from silver to cream to black.

 

I had a thought at your first picture that you'd already forgotten your perpetual so quick...
