I was lucky enough to see a two-tone watch so 80 on his wrist for a long time.
The problem with big brands is to see how much they tense up when it comes to innovating, so convinced that the public will not follow this time. So we change the color of the dial blah blah blah...
so it is sometimes useful to go back to the past.
this watch is cool, funky and so 80 (and not FFF: futile showing off...)

Vintage, tribute to my father

Life is like a box of chocolates.
one day someone gives me a cardboard box with this watch without a strap.
a quick check-up from my watchmaker and a purchase of tropics from the repairers and a new life is offered to this small automatic object that only asks to rest on a wrist again.

Life is like a box of chocolates

It was again on JC's advice that the idea came to me to register on a Kick starter made by a watch creator that is Watch angel.
The collaboration with Cedric Bellon was unexpected.
The theme of a watch with a very pure design with recycled materials and tools speaks to me. In addition, sourcing Soprod movements with GMT complication lit the fuse.
Finally, this sandwich dial is magnificent.

When: part.X of the path (reminder part.0: it was an imitation of Swatch camouflage model)

How: I watched the OP,DD and BB comparison on the Dialicious channel

Emotion: it accompanies me without skewering on the blows at work. I love knowing that it is a sellita, rather than a so-called "in House" movement like the MT of Kenissi shared. here it is clear I bought a tractor.

The next one: ?


I wouldn't have an OP

When: part.5 of the path (reminder part.0: it was an imitation of Swatch camouflage model)
in December 2022. I made a lot of phone calls.

How: thanks to a certain Mrs. Vallée from the Dubail boutique Place Vendome who found my email and my fairly specific request.

Emotion: a sublime watch but once again not assumed. the dial too thing, the bracelet not the size. but that was without counting on the top after-sales service of GP: "sir, we have never found the perfect fit for each of our customers". and after sending the 2 additional links. the combination was perfect and the bracelet adjusted.
the rest of the watch was crazy. finesse beauty but that's for later

The next one: to the I don't know anything


It's a sun even in winter

when = summer, need a tool watch

how= I looked at my buddy JC from moonwatch and I had offered a Concordia auto this time to my brother-in-law

emotion = we're not going to brag, it's a watch that is great for its use. It has a great quartz sweep second movement

next One= maybe a grail

This is my friend JC

When: part.4 of the path (reminder part.0: it was an imitation of Swatch camouflage model)

How: I started watching You Tube and I came across an Original program, the Dialicious channel

Emotion: it seduced me because it is not thick, surprising because it is very big but its design makes that smaller (Reduce) we wear more a speed.

The next one: a MKII


Xa's fault... Watchout

When: part.2 of the path (reminder part.0: it was an imitation of Swatch camouflage model)
so it was when I was an intern and I was phophating in the shadows while dreaming of an automatic watch

How: an auction with an alarm at 2:18 to bid at 715 euros

Emotion: perfect diameter but not the foot to wear despite all the changes of bracelet

The next one: a Jaeger


follow La Bay

When: part.1 of the path (reminder part.0: it was an imitation of Swatch camouflage model)
so it was when I was an intern and I was phophating in the shadows while dreaming of an automatic watch

How; a head of clinic, FAM, a crazy blog on "my Rolex Sub 14060M 2 lines.

Emotion: watch not assumed the first 3 months by its price (3200 euros) so much I did not think that it was reasonable compared to my parents, friends or people in general.
I did not leave it for 10 years.

The next one: an IWC mark XV on the bay


When I was an intern

A jewel this case with 38 mm diameter and 11 mm thickness. A very well decorated manufacture caliber with the dead second complication. A blue dial with a cross in the center to perfect the balance. A very modern brown strap for an iconic watch. A gold oscillating weight. A jewel of great watchmaking.

Blue dial limited series

Here is my latest acquisition, ordered in June 2022, and received… last May! But the crowdfunding system has its good points: in addition to the win/win financing, it allows you to learn patience, to control your stamping (yes, the word exists!) and to experience the big day with tension and then delight! Here of course, it is the all-raw steel dial that irresistibly attracts the eye, with its originality and its countless and powerful reflections. The delicately polished chamfer is a detail that I particularly like. Its dimensions are… perfect (for my wrist at least!): 39mm in diameter, 47mm from lug to lug, 11.8mm thick, weight of 90gr (on leather strap); and then superluminova (old radium color) on sandwich-style sub-dial, date and GMT complications, AR sapphire crystal, 20atm, very well-regulated Swiss Soprod C125 movement, Swiss made, all in a limited edition. A big thank you to its very talented designer and creator!
