Carzo & Lieutier - History, Models and Owners' Reviews

We often associate the world of watches with that of automobiles, less with motorcycles. And this link, Carzo & Lieutier has made it, with success. We find multiple references to motorcycle mechanics on the case. See this bezel which recalls a throttle grip, the case in the shape of circlips, the crown in the shape of a hexagonal screw head. Saint-Luxeuil is the patron saint of bikers, so it brings me luck when I go for a ride. And then this blue dial... probably the most beautiful blue I have seen on a watch. Here is a French micro-brand that was able to create an original watch with a real story.

Turini. Whether you're a cashier or a biker, this is an evocative name, an emblematic passage of the Monte-Carlo and a meeting place for bikers from all over Europe. Even if you don't have to buy into the slightly clumsy storytelling of MM. Carzo & Lieutier, you can't deny their sincerity. These Nice natives have a taste for stylish mechanics and the desire to transcribe their motorcycle world in their small production of watches. Without being revolutionary, the result with this Turini is original and has character, especially with its brushed/satin-finished case in the shape of a circlip. The watch is quite small (less than 37 mm) but has a real presence on the wrist with its flat and stretched lugs, this questionable ergonomics is not the strong point but fully contributes to the personality of the piece. It is powered by a modest but effective Ronda quartz, because it is always practical to have one or two quartz in the collection...
