Beaubleu Vitruve GMT Vert Owner Review : Memorable, conceptual and hypnotic

After this unconvincing pun, I would like to say that this beaubleu is a real gem. A gem first in the literal sense because given its design, it is a watch but also (or even above all) a jewel, a very beautiful piece that comes to dress up an outfit. But also a jewel in the figurative sense because this watch is very well finished. The dial is obviously its strong point. Green is my favorite color, and it is difficult to find complete satisfaction in watches. Here, the dark green/fir/bottle dial marries wonderfully well with the textured beige/cream outline (grained?) and the light green second hand, a little sage. The case back is also very beautiful, the work on the oscillating weight is superb. Needless to mention the round hands which are the signature of the brand; the internal bezel which acts as a 2nd time zone "GMT" is interesting. First for the functionality, but especially because it reinforces the readability of the time. Beaubleu watches require some time to get used to in order to quickly read the time, and the Arabic numerals on the internal bezel make them easier to read. The 2 crowns are very well integrated into the case, but this means that handling is less natural. Too bad, because I love winding my watches with the crown firmly between my fingers. I also regret the presence of a butterfly clasp that I don't find very comfortable; I would have preferred a folding clasp. Too bad because the strap is of very good quality. My favorite detail is the thin brushed bezel, which adds a lot of reflections and relief to the watch. In short, a very beautiful watch, original, very divisive, for all wrists. And then, a green beaubleu is somewhat original. I am very happy to have such a piece in my collection.
