Boucheron Solis Owner Review : Dazzling, racy and exceptional

And this is what happens when the first jeweler of the Place Vendôme meets the first chronograph movement in the world... Proof that elegance and sportiness can give birth to a very beautiful and racy timepiece. The gold case is characteristic of the Solis models, without horns and with a unique system of attaching the bracelet which brings a certain strength to the whole. The dial and its thin smooth bezel are as if "placed" on a cushion from which emerge the crown decorated with an aquamarine as well as the chronograph pushers (crown screwed to guarantee the 10 ATM, even if...). The contrast of the "panda" sub-dials gives the touch of sportiness that one expects given the movement that was chosen. At noon we find the brand's B sign integrating the Vendôme column and at 4:30 the date window which is contrasted like the sub-dials in white writing on a black background. Finally a discreet railway to allow the precision of the chronograph hand. Obviously, a transparent case back was needed to reveal the superb and legendary El Primero movement, the inscription of which is repeated on the winding balance. For me, this is a precious and exceptional model that will never leave my collection.
