I bought this little Geneva in a pretty pitiful state, after a quick visit to my watchmaker for a complete overhaul and a little bracelet polishing it came back to life. I find its blue dial super cool, it's a very pleasant watch to wear, the size is perfect for me with its 70's look with its integrated bracelet I love it and it can be worn on all occasions.

Reissue of Neil Armstrong's watch from the time he was a test pilot, a very vintage skin diver style look with its transformed myiota mechanical caliber, it has all the arguments to make it attractive, American brand but made in France, it sits perfectly on the wrist, in short I absolutely do not regret my choice.

My 5th gruen and surely not the last 😉 I came across it a bit by chance, on an ad after a little negotiation with the seller, I received this pretty little 3-hand watch caliber 415 rss in 34mm steel case sunray dial. It arrived in fantastic condition and I absolutely do not regret this purchase, I sent a small lizard green strap that suits it rather well. Looking forward to the next one, I'm aiming for a small air flight 😉😉

I have wanted a Russian watch in my collection for a long time and it is done with this Vostok Amphibian Scuba, bought second-hand but like new for a very small price I find that this watch has a lot of arguments like a water resistance to 20 atm an automatic caliber and a domed plexi which gives it an ultra cool look, for the moment I am very happy with it there is a chance that it will not be the last 😉

My Cold War Diver

The watch that also went to the moon 😉 the last watch I bought and honestly zero regrets !!! I was afraid because of its size of 45mm, I who am used to wearing much more contained watches, but its fairly small horns make it sit perfectly on my wrist, its high-performance Quartz caliber of + or - 10 seconds per year is absolutely incredible as is the history of this watch with its lunar anecdote 😉 a big resemblance to the Omega moon watch but which keeps its own identity with its very original pushers and its sapphire crystal which protrudes from the box. If you want a moonwatch with a very cool and accessible story, don't hesitate, it's the perfect watch 👍

Small alternative to the famous submariner, I bought this pretty diver from the 80s/90s which was in bad condition, after a complete change of caliber and a new plexi I find it perfect for every day. It is patinated just the right amount and it is so comfortable on the wrist that I often forget that I am wearing it, in short I love this watch 😉

My first vintage Omega and surely not the last!! This watch is so cool with its super patinated cream dial and its steel case, it is my first vintage Omega and it lives a lot on my wrist because in addition to being sublime it is super comfortable to wear what I love about this watch except obviously this caliber 283, it is its omega logo in gold-colored applique which recalls its gold hands too!

Omega 60s caliber 283

One of my favorite watches!!! This Zenith Sporto Date mechanical has been completely revised by a friend who is a future great watchmaker 😉its case has also been re-plated according to the rules of the art by the latter. With its 70's barrel case and its small diameter, it has a sporty chic side that I love.

The ultimate chic sports watch 😉

Small dress watch from the Certina brand with its small second and its 28-10 manufacture caliber from the 50s/60s, small diameter of 34 mm, I love this watch, so elegant and quite thin, it is in fantastic condition given its age, just the plexiglass has been changed to allow you to see this sublime slightly ivory dial, I hope the photos will show it off because in real life it is magnificent!!!!

A very pretty dresswatch!!

I bought this watch second-hand on a whim because I found the look very nice for less than 80 euros (yes I didn't take too many risks) in new condition and what a surprise when I opened the package the blue of the sunny dial is very pretty and the proportions of this watch are perfect for my wrist in short I do not regret this purchase at all even if it is a watch that I rarely wear it is always a pleasure to put it on the wrist, Japanese quartz inside so a more than satisfactory quality-price ratio 👍

A real 70's look this Tissot which is in clinical condition!!! Automatic and with a magnificent monobloc case. One of the prettiest in my vintage collection, super pleasant to wear with its jubilee which suits it wonderfully, moreover it is my only watch where I have never tried another strap so much it suits it wonderfully 😉😉I hope you will like it as much as I do but I have no doubts about it 😂

Tissot Seastar visiodate automatic seastar seven 70's

This pretty Telda is almost 70 years old and it hasn't aged a day!! I bought this chronograph without knowing the old calibers but the passionate seller who has become a true friend since then advised me very well, it is the watch that made me love vintages and today it is one of my favorite watches, inside we have a completely revised Venus 188 caliber the plexi has been changed and the case plated in gold. In short, I never tire of contemplating its mechanism which has recently been visible without opening it thanks to a plexi box back installed precisely by this friend. If I had to give it a single adjective it would be "timeless" 😉😉

Bulova: A legendary name in American watchmaking.

The company was born in 1875, when Joseph Bulova began selling his watches in New York.
Bulova became a leader in marketing, with the first radio advertisements broadcast in 1926. Bulova watches were very popular, recognized and admired in particular for its famous Accutron from 1960 with its "electromagnetic tuning fork" with its inimitable sound...
Bulova joined the Citizen group in 2008, without however benefiting from CITIZEN technologies (eco drive, radio control, GPS, etc.).

Bulova Military is a watch that surprised many fans of the brand, and many collectors.
Bulova drew on its watchmaking heritage for the military design of the 50s and 60s, supplier to the US Army.
This watch features the 262 Khz quartz movement called UHF: Ultra High Frequency.
It is the same technology as on the Precisionist models, operating with a high-frequency quartz movement clocked at 262 Khz, compared to the 32.7 Khz quartz modules usually used in watchmaking. 
That is an oscillation frequency 8 times higher than the classic quartz called "watchmaking". 

The watch displays a "continuous" sweep seconds hand, or "fluid second hand" that advances by 1/16 of a second! Which is very unusual for a quartz! 
The seconds hand literally seems to float smoothly on the dial, like the seconds of some station clocks. 
Note that the first SEIKO quartz watch from 1969 had this 'fluid second hand' feature, but this feature was very quickly abandoned by SEIKO, in order to save the battery life. 
Indeed, without the fluidity of the seconds hand, the battery life was multiplied by 4, hence the choice of the jump per second. 

Bulova Military benefits from the precision of the Precisionist: The most precise watch in the world according to Bulova. 
The claimed precision is 10 seconds per year. I was able to observe, at worst, a difference of +15 seconds over 1 year… Which is remarkable for a non-radio-controlled quartz…

Bulova explains that the precision of the quartz and its calculator depends on two factors: 
The variations in temperature and the oscillation frequency of the quartz. 
This quartz is therefore thermally compensated and has triple “pins” which allows a stable frequency of 262 Khz (or 2p18 hertz or exactly 262144 hertz!). 

The Bulova Military is inspired by old models of the brand and has a classic military look. 

The watch measures 42 mm in diameter for a lug to lug of 48 mm. 
The lug to lug is 22 mm, the thickness is 11 mm. 
The Military weighs 72 grams and provides a light and pleasant presence to wear. 
The glass is polycarbonate, very transparent. 
Finally, the seconds hand is white with an orange tip that highlights the continuous sweep. 
I never tire of this simple and effective military look. 

The Bulova Military has a "LUMINESCENCE" lume on the hands and on the numbered indexes. 
The water resistance is 100 meters, the crown is screwed. 
The button cell is a CR 2016, whose lifespan, in use, is 3 years. 
The watch has a dial with excellent visibility and readability. 

The Bulova Military 262Khz had a list price of $250... Today, you can find them on the second-hand market for around €150/200, for a model in perfect condition. 

In conclusion, thank you to Bulova for inventing and marketing these high-frequency quartz movements. 
An ultra-precise, simple and effective watch at a reasonable price.

Bulova Heritage Inspired Military Watch

This is a lovely little BULOVA that is very elegant to wear, classic in its design but very well made: an applique logo, superbly faceted indexes, sober hands, all in gold that perfectly captures every reflection of light. 35.5 mm cushion gold-plated case that may seem small on paper, but which fits very well on my 18 cm wrist (see photo). Entirely original, it has remained in an incredibly fresh condition (the 40 micron gold plating is of good quality). I have had this watch for over 25 years, but although I wore it quite often at the beginning, I then put it away for at least 20 years without putting it back on. When I rediscovered it a short time ago, it was a great moment of nostalgia. Ah, the joys of vintage! Obviously, the pretty 23-jewel BULOVA 11 ANACB caliber (self-winding and 40 hours of power reserve) has become a little "erased" and has lost precision, but I will have it serviced by my watchmaker in the coming months and it will be ready for at least 30 years of good and loyal service!

A very nice dress watch

Created in 2017 by designer Nicolas Ducoudert, Beaubleu brings a new dimension to watchmaking by creating watches that are aesthetic, astonishing and deeply symbolic. The round hands, signature of the House, reflect singularity and sophisticated simplicity. Each model features a deliciously contemporary design, where every detail, every surface, interacts with light.
Breaking the codes of traditional watchmaking by providing a new vision of time, Beaubleu watches go off the beaten track by featuring round, hollowed-out hands, inspired by the work of Galileo in his understanding of the solar system. These hands poetically display the hours, which do not point to an index or a graduation, but which indicate a position, an instant from the center of the dial.
