The Portugieser Chrono is a must-have piece in a collection.
A watch that has a story, I like the vintage side of IWC Schaffausen watches.
Very dressy watches, with a timeless style, a deep and hypnotizing blue dial.
A watch that over the years remains timeless

When vintage meets precision

The Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 39mm is an ideal watch for all occasions.
It is a watch that is both sporty chic and discreet in everyday life.
What I like about this watch is its blue dial that changes color in bright sunlight.
It changes from blue to light gray, this watch can be worn whatever the outfit on a daily basis.

Classic among classics

For this new watch I first wanted a blue dial. And there the dial is great!
A captivating and hypnotizing deep blue dial I also wanted a very Classics and Vintage style.
The style that we find on the watches of the German watchmakers Nomos Glashütte Original.
I opted for a Quartz model even though I know that Quartz watches are selling less and less.

Combining luxury and cool

In fact I started buying watches during the year 2021 3 in the same year starting with the Tissot Prx then came this Khaki Scuba Auto but for a very special occasion a weight loss of 8 kilos in 6 months. Then at the end of 2021 the Khaki Fied in fact this one was given to me by my father

A sporty chic perspective

I opted for this Field Watch because it is in the ranking of Field Watches in a very good place with the IWC Pilot Mark XVIII. I chose the 40 mm diameter because I am visually impaired. For the bracelet side I had a custom-made bracelet made by Jaeger-Lecoultre in the color of the dial and white stitching to recall the dial which gives a Full Black style it is the same bracelet that is on the Polaris one of my favorite watches that I will have one day

Change your view of time

A watch that has a timeless chic style and above all never goes out of fashion. A watch that I never get tired of that goes with all styles of outfits. Before buying this watch I hesitated for a long time, I was afraid of quickly getting tired of this watch and in fact I love it in the sun the case changes color it is thin and very light to wear

They don't say that a dial makes a watch.

(Updated December 2023)

Hello everyone! This time we meet again for a new review of the Frédérique Constant brand. Today let's review the Classics Quartz model, a watch that I describe as sublime and that knows how to be forgotten.

First of all, I'll share with you some technical characteristics:

Case diameter: 40 MM
Movement: Quartz
Case: Stainless Steel
Case thickness: 9 millimeters
Glass: SAPPHIRE
Waterproofness: 50M
Bracelet material: Leather
Lug width: 20MM
Year of manufacture: 2022

As you will have understood, its characteristics for a dress watch are really excellent!

I guarantee that wearing it every day, even at work, is a real pleasure both for the eyes and for its comfort! It is extremely light and in 30 minutes, you no longer feel like you are wearing anything on your wrist.

What is notable are the finishing qualities that I find incredible, the steel has been so well worked, that just to the eye the watch appears to be of very high quality. And this turns out to be totally true. 
The leather strap is so pleasant, supple but robust, the quality is once again very present. 

The dial offers a deep midnight blue with a slight guilloche in the background which gives it its classic and distinguished side! the sub-dials know how to be discreet and integrate perfectly into the whole with their display of the day and date. 

The proportions are simply perfect. 

That's all for this review, so yes most of the reviews published so far are very good but the fact remains that the watches for which the reviews were given are all more interesting than the others. 

It was Yannice from the channel l'Aiguille, I'll see you soon!

The Needle: Our Opinion on the FC Classics Quartz

Frederique Constant quartz in 40 mm. Dial background in a magnificent deep green. Precise with a battery life (according to the manufacturer...) of approximately 4 years. Due to the quality of the quartz. This is one of the reasons for this purchase. As for the crocodile embossed leather strap (not really my thing... but this is not bad!) It combines aesthetics and comfort.
