A watch lover since I was young, I wanted a Rolex to mark an important stage in my life. Why this brand and not another? Certainly for everything that makes it famous today. I went to an AD, it was not necessarily the model I had initially chosen but after trying several, I literally fell in love with this Datejust white background. So it was decided, it was this one and not another. For almost 3 years, I have been wearing it almost daily and I still enjoy seeing it on my wrist. It is elegant and goes with both a dressy and casual style. It is just perfect!

Thunderbolt

A rather pretty and original Mauboussin watch with its 3 date window. It has a diameter of 40 mm and a blue sapphire cabochon crown. This automatic watch has a Seiko NH35A movement and is water-resistant to 100 meters.
It is not a "must have" but it has charm and no worries to report.


Sympatoche

This Seiko Presage Coktail is dressed in a sunburst sky blue background and a black leather strap enhanced with blue stitching.
It is equipped with a 6RI5C movement.
I have owned it for about 10 years. It is elegant and very discreet. Small point to note, it seems that the new identical Presage Coktails no longer have the same movement, they have a 4R35 movement and the inscription on the dial "Présage automatic" has replaced the inscription "automatic 23 jewels".



Un Blue Lagoon svp

A watch inspired by racing cars from the 60s!
It is water-resistant up to 100 meters, it has a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal and a Swiss automatic movement with a 72-hour power reserve.
It clearly does the job and I always enjoy wearing it.
Its white background gives it a very fresh look for sunny days!

A V8 on the wrist

A vintage Casio 593 W-79 that I have had for almost 30 years and that was given to me by my dad when I was a child.
My very first watch that I have always kept and that works like the first day.
I change the battery myself and the watch starts again for several years.
The little extra: the button at the top left to light up the screen!


My first watch

<p dir="ltr">The <strong>Casio </strong>brand, founded in <strong>1946</strong> by Tadao Kashio in Tokyo, Japan, was a key player in the development and popularization of electronic watches. Although the company began producing calculators, it quickly identified the potential of electronic watches, launching its first model, the Casiotron, in 1974.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Casio brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">The Casiotron - relaunched in 2024 in an ultra-limited series, was revolutionary for its time, featuring an automatic calendar that recognized months at 31, 30 and 28 days. This was the beginning of Casio's long history of innovation in watches. One of Casio's most notable contributions to watchmaking is the series <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/casio/g-shock">G-Shock</a>, launched in 1983. The G-Shock was designed to withstand shock and vibration, and it quickly became a benchmark for ruggedness and functionality.</p>

Casio vintage A158WEA-9

This is the W-59-1VQ model. This little watch goes everywhere and is very useful to me, in my precise timing during my daily work (simple, efficient, and reliable are its qualities). It is discreet, light and above all its price is very funky!!
It also reminds me of my early childhood discovering the passage of time...
A Casio one day, a Casio always...

But Casio!

Today, I'm going to tell you about a small Casio, certainly not the best known but which deserves your attention. It is the Casio AQ -S800WD-1EF
It is a watch with a resin case painted "steel" an acrylic glass, unfortunately, but with a steel bracelet. The dimensions 47.6 from lug to lug, 42 wide by 10.6 mm thick, with a weight of 89gr all included!
The characteristics now:

World time function
The world time function displays the time in 29 time zones and major cities around the world.

Stopwatch function - 1/100 sec - 1 h
The elapsed time, split times and total time are calculated with an accuracy of 1/100th of a second, over a maximum duration of one hour.

2 countdown timers - 5 sec - 100 minutes (with automatic repeat function)
This model has two independent countdown timers that emit a signal after the programmed time has elapsed before automatically resuming from the pre-programmed time. The watch's measuring capacity reaches up to 100 minutes and can be set in 5-second increments.

5 daily alarms
A daily alarm reminds you of your deadlines at the programmed time. This model has five independent alarms to flexibly remind you of your important appointments.

On/Off key beep
The key beep can be deactivated with the mode button. After deactivation, there is no longer a beep when switching from one function to another. However, programmed alarms or countdowns remain active after deactivating the key beep.

Automatic calendar
Once programmed, the automatic calendar always displays the correct date.

12/24 Hour Time Format
You can display the time in 12-hour or 24-hour format.

Domed Watch Glass
The surface of the watch glass is domed, which provides great strength and high pressure resistance.

Acrylic Glass
Acrylic is highly shock-resistant.

Stainless Steel Bracelet
Strong, durable and elegant: the stainless steel bracelet is an essential watch classic.

Safety Clasp
Perfectly safe: The bracelet of this watch has a special safety clasp that prevents the bracelet from opening accidentally.

Battery Level Indicator
Displays the current battery level.

Waterproof class (10 bars)
Perfect for swimming and snorkeling: the watch is waterproof up to 10 bars (ISO 22810
LED lighting
The watch face is illuminated by a light-emitting diode.
And the best for last:
Solar operation
Solar cells provide an autonomous and environmentally friendly energy supply. The surplus solar energy is stored in an accumulator.
This is one of my favorite watches that I wear very often despite more expensive models.
Any flaws? Yes, there are definitely some... 
The acrylic glass is resistant to breakage but which quickly got scratched... admittedly during a DIY session...
The very small LCD screen requiring good eyesight and finally
The LED lighting that illuminates ONLY the LCD dial... too bad
But there is one thing I will tell you to convince you to have this little tool watch is the price: 46 euros!!!!


the little lowcoast tool-watch that gives you a lot

You can get a geek chic look at a low cost, with the only constraint being to change the original strap for a tobacco-colored leather one. The Casio A171WEMB-1AEF offers us a sober dial, far from the exuberance of the brand when it seeks to seduce a young audience. Here we are in good taste, 36mm black dial, without overload of information, minimalist let's say it. Comfortable, this Casio, and which will not fail to indicate to the people you meet, that you like SF and the 80s, without sacrificing style and good manners.

Geek chic and cheap

Casio won during the small competition organized in small watch between friends by Xavier.
In two words pretty little colorful casio and very glossi I did not expect it at all. A little candy like many vintage casio. On the other hand I do not think that it can be worn every day unlike a resin f91 because the chrome of the case is all the same light.



Casio gift from a guest of pemea

<p>Cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2017 par le designer Nicolas Ducoudert, <strong>Beaubleu apporte une dimension nouvelle &agrave; l&rsquo;horlogerie</strong> 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.</p>
<p>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.
