The almost perfect watch! You can do anything with it! It is robust, I love the brushed steel, I feel like the watch is impossible to scratch. The falsely patinated indexes are magnificent, the luminescent material works wonderfully and for a long time! Reading the time couldn't be easier, the NATO strap is comfortable, the little touches of leather add that little something extra. The 80-hour power reserve is very appreciable. The hands are basic but very effective, and the slightly domed sapphire crystal is anti-reflective, which is very pleasant! There is also a stop second, which is not always the case on watches in this price range. I absolutely love everything about this watch that can be worn in any circumstance. With its iconic design, its features, and its history, I find that the price is really more than justified! It’s hard to do better, for me the Khaki Field is really Hamilton’s centerpiece (with the Ventura which we hear a little less about). The only downside, if we have to find one, is its water resistance to only 50 meters, certainly it’s not a watch whose purpose is to go in the water, but a water resistance to 100m would have really been the icing on the cake.

Nice Ernest Borel Incastar with its applied indexes. An old watch that I bought in a near NOS condition, I did not know the brand when buying it so I simply bought the design. Surprisingly precise for a watch of this period, with a nice copper-colored movement. An unusual dresswatch for not much, I am delighted!

Deep in Alaska, in Talkeetna, a man decided to start his own watch brand with his wife. I had been following him on Instagram for a while, and I waited a long time before I could finally buy one of his models. I immediately jumped at the chance during the very first drop.
I find this watch exceptional, the Miyota inside is well adjusted, the finishes on the hands and the applied logo are remarkable. I love the brushed case. But what, for me, makes this watch so charming is its lapis lazuli dial. In the sun it is of an unprecedented beauty, which I never cease to admire. The rice grain bracelet is particularly comfortable. If I had to find a negative point to this watch it would be the reading of the time, which is not very precise given that the dial does not have indexes, but I bought it knowingly and the beauty of this dial is well worth not knowing if it is 16:18 or 16:17.
I greatly appreciate the fact of telling myself that it is a particularly rare watch and that I am not likely to find someone with the same as me. And even more the fact of telling myself that I am wearing the watch of a man who spends his days cutting down trees in this beautiful setting that is Alaska, and his nights making watches in his small workshop.

Uncommon watch

This watch was part of the collection of the late Joël Duval, founder of forum à montres. It was put up for sale at an Omega auction. When I saw the auction catalogue I immediately spotted this watch. It no longer worked but I didn't care. A silver cushion case, a magnificent enamel dial, radium hands, and above all a watch from 1916, which after a visit to the watchmaker set off again for a tour of several decades on my wrist! This watch has certainly experienced the war, and a whole bunch of other happier moments, I am delighted to have it in my collection, and to pay tribute to Joël Duval whose wish was to perpetuate this passion for watchmaking common to all of us.

A relatively simple and refined design, three hands, applied indexes, a patinated champagne dial/a little pitted in places and a nice gold plating, the recipe for happiness for me. All made by a historic brand like Doxa, it's frankly fascinating. I don't know the year of the watch but the movement (automatic) is in impeccable condition with a formidable precision of 5 seconds of drift per day!

Magnificent Buren with a rose gold plating, a crazy micro rotor movement patented by Buren, applied indexes that give a crazy charm, a contained diameter that I love, and what can I say about this patinated dial. My favorite watch in my collection and by far, I find everything I love in this watch: the history, the innovation, the design, and especially the emotion! Really too bad this brand no longer exists today...

I came across this little Longines from 1948 at a watch fair, on sale because the dial is a bit pitted and slightly erases the "Longines" at 12 o'clock. I knew right away that it was for me, 30.5mm of pure happiness, a Longines movement decorated with Geneva stripes, a small second, a dial that I find splendid although a bit damaged, and above all the fact that I can tell that it had a thousand lives before me. What more could you ask for?

Cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2017 par le designer Nicolas Ducoudert, Beaubleu apporte une dimension nouvelle &agrave; l&rsquo;horlogerie en cr&eacute;ant des montres &agrave; la fois esth&eacute;tiques, &eacute;tonnantes et profond&eacute;ment symboliques. Les aiguilles rondes, signature de la Maison, sont le reflet d&rsquo;une singularit&eacute; et d&rsquo;une simplicit&eacute; sophistiqu&eacute;e. Chaque mod&egrave;le arbore un design d&eacute;licieusement contemporain, o&ugrave; chaque d&eacute;tail, chaque surface, interagissent avec la lumi&egrave;re.
Cassant les codes de l'horlogerie traditionnelle en apportant une vision nouvelle du temps, les montres Beaubleu sortent des sentiers battus en arborant des aiguilles rondes et &eacute;vid&eacute;es, inspir&eacute;es des travaux de Galil&eacute;e dans sa compr&eacute;hension du syst&egrave;me solaire. Ces aiguilles affichent de mani&egrave;re po&eacute;tique les heures, qui ne pointent pas un index ni une graduation, mais qui indiquent une position, un instant depuis le centre du cadran.

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.
<h2 dir="ltr">What are the main models of the Beaubleu brand?</h2>
Beaubleu has just announced on June 5, 2024, the launch of a new limited series collection called<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/beaubleu/seconde_francaise"> Beaubleu Seconde Francaise</a>.

The Beaubleu Seconde Fran&ccedil;aise is one of the nominees for the 2024 GPHG (Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Gen&egrave;ve).&nbsp;
The collection<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/beaubleu/ecce"> Beaubleu Ecce</a> remains the permanent collection of the brand launched in October 2023. Despite its young history, Beaubleu has already marketed 3 collections in limited series:

<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Beaubleu watch cost?</h2>
