We don’t need to introduce it anymore. The Rolex. The Datejust. The one that anchored the brand to the crown for eternity. Recognizable at first glance, here is a beautiful example of 1601 in good condition for its 51 years of life. It can be worn in a suit of course, but it also works casually. In short, after all its banalities, it remains a timeless icon. You either love it or you hate it. I love it.

So ordinary, so iconic

In my opinion, a little beauty from the 80s. An IWC Ingenieur Ref. 3506.1. Contained diameter of 35mm with a beautiful opening and this superb integrated bracelet from Genta's imagination. And as a bonus, this copy has a military-style dial borrowed from a Portofino from the same period, which makes it unique. In short, a watch that you don't come across often.

I wanted to introduce you to this superb Memovox from the 60s. I have always been attracted by the aesthetics of the Memovox series, but most have a case with "added" lugs that I do not find to my taste until I came across this rare copy Ref E11005 which has a manual winding 911 caliber and which was manufactured in 1965 in only 500 copies in steel and about 150 in gold plate. Ultra flat oyster type case with a diameter of 36mm, domed plexiglass, 6-9-12 index numerals which make it a bit sporty, it has everything to please. Even the Nato suits it. I'm crazy about it 😍

JLC Memovox Vintage

Here is a small, unpretentious piece, but with a beautiful presence on the wrist. A very flat skin diver type case with a diameter of 34mm, a nicely domed plexiglass and above all a military dial that I love. It is so easy to wear with a Nato, a cordura or this vintage steel bracelet that fits it like a glove. In short, you will have understood, no need to spend a fortune to please yourself and wear a piece that you do not come across on every street corner.

The IWC brand was created in 1868 by the American Florentine Ariosto Jones in northeastern Switzerland. He founded a watch factory in Switzerland to supply the American market with quality movements and benefit from the know-how of the Swiss workforce. He settled in the town of Schaffhausen following his meeting with Johann Heinrich Moser, watchmaker and industrialist.
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the IWC brand</h2>
Known for its watches in areas such as scuba diving or combat with the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/iwc/aquatimer"> IWC Aquatimer</a>, the house acquired its reputation with watches in the aeronautical sector from 1936. The brand is also recognized in the marine sector with the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/iwc/portugieser"> IWC Portugieser</a> created in 1939 to meet the demand of two Portuguese importers of the brand, Rodrigues and Teixeira.
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does an IWC watch cost?</h2>
The prices of new IWC watches change every year, but most IWC models cost between CHF 8,000 and CHF 12,000. For example, a<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/iwc/ingenieur/review/65952649c78129179ad4037b"> IWC Ingenieur Automatic 40</a>, a reissue of the famous IWC Ingenieur SL designed by Gerald Genta, is sold for CHF 12,000, while an IWC Perpetual Calendar in Ceratanium costs CHF 53,000. IWC also offers models in precious materials and set with diamonds for a more feminine clientele.

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>
