Arriving at the end of 2024 in the Pelagos family, a great success in my opinion.
Aesthetically, I find it to have very beautiful proportions.
The colors are perfectly matched between the very beautiful matte black of the bezel and the dial, and the vintage-style cream indexes. An incredible super luminova, blue indexes and hands, green bezel indications. You can read the time without problem until the end of the night.
Grade 2 titanium for the case, grade 5 for the back.
Back engraved M.N. followed by the last two digits of the vintage.
The strap is in military green fabric, with a removable naval aviation badge for those who would like a little more discretion. It's hard to say how it will withstand use, but it looks very sturdy, and at the same time very thin, so the watch does not take up too much thickness on the wrist, unlike many classic NATO straps.
The orange GMT hand looks great on the matte black and green, complementary colors.
I tried to wear it on an orange Nato, and it looks pretty good, even if I prefer the original strap. Beautiful titanium Tudor buckle.
The lug width is 22 mm, the lugs are short, which means that the watch can be worn by small wrists, despite its 42mm diameter
Despite the GMT complication, the thickness remains very contained, thinner I think than its little sister FXD M.N of the MN combat swimmers, and much thinner than the Black Bay Pro, another GMT of the brand (see photos).
In short, beautiful work, very pleasant and light to wear.
The date window at 3 o'clock is not annoying, because of its contained size, identical to the size of the indexes, and very readable with its cream color on the black background of the watch.
Metas and COSC certified
70 hours of power reserve
Between the GMT hand and the 24-hour graduated bezel, we actually have two time zones (for those who really travel a lot...)
A great success, for less than half the price of a GMT II from the cousin with the crown

A very successful titanium, COSC and METAS GMT adventurer

This is the third creation by Blaise-Dominique Giuliani, a designer based in Marseille, after the Mille-Mer and the Star-Diver.
We find Bohen's codes in the shapes of the case.
The watch is very thin (less than 13 mm) for a resistance of 600 meters.
The finishes are superb, from the brushed sunray dial in shades of gray and black (which also has brown highlights of the most beautiful effect) to the indexes, to the case itself, alternating brushed steel and polished steel.
As on its big sisters, an absolutely perfect bracelet, large adjustment range in the clasp, very strong decrease in the width of the bracelet between the width at the lugs and that at the clasp, which contributes to the stability of the watch on the wrist.
A high-quality hyper luminova, which still allows you to read the time at the end of the night.
The case back is not transparent, which is not surprising for a watch diving to this depth, and a shame because Blaise-Dominique reworks the movement provided by Soprod a lot.
60-click bezel, very precise and well adjusted
Note that the watch is delivered in a superb case, and with two rubber straps that can be very easily put on.
After a few days and nights on the wrist: a very easy watch to wear, on my large 23 cm wrists, as on more "normal" wrists, due to short horns, the balance of the watch, the decreasing width of the strap. A strap that is easy to adjust in a few seconds to the variations in circumference of your wrist. And above all, a very beautiful watch, a magnificent dial with changing reflections, whose balance is not disturbed by a date window, perfect readability, a contained diameter. Original design, and yet a reassuring watch by its presence, its weight, its balance. A watch that is very easy to wear on a daily basis, more so than its two big sisters, which are more tool-watch type.

A virile and fine diver at the same time, superbly finished

I let myself be tempted by this Pelagos FXD, while I already own the classic Pelagos (which I will review one of these days). 
They share the lightness of the titanium material, the reliability and power reserve (70 hours) of the automatic movement, the dominant blue, and the incredible quality of the luminova. 
But it is really not the same watch! 
The blue of the FXD is less "artificial" than its big sister, a slightly deeper navy blue, more discreet, marrying very well with the gray of the titanium. 
No date, which is for me an advantage in terms of sobriety and balance. 
The bezel is bi-directional, which is very practical (especially for combat swimmers!). 
And above all the lugs are fixed, no pumps risking breaking. 
This of course limits the choice of strap (it's not really a Nato that comes with the watch, but it's very comfortable and well designed), and therefore this watch is intended more for everyday, sports, vacation, casual use, than for dress use.
Nice reminder on the case back of the partnership with the French Navy (and the vintage).
The quality of the luminova is such that you can easily read the time at the end of the night.
The watch is very pleasant to wear, between the lightness of the titanium and the possibility of adapting in 2 seconds the imitation Nato strap with velcro.
It's certainly a fairly recent purchase, but I have a hard time leaving it, and I feel that it will accompany me all summer and much more.
Another success from Tudor. We always wonder why pay double and wait 2 years for the cousin to the crown...


Tudor I love it!

Both very classic and original, dressed and sporty, retro and modern. Omega coaxial movement, manual winding, splendid vintage livery assortment of black and brown / beige: a very beautiful speed two counters that is out of the ordinary. Its originality is partly due to the hollowed indexes, as well as the "broad-arrow" hands. Comfortable bracelet and equipped with a micro adjustment sufficient for the small summer dilations. Effective super-luminovao. A sufficient power reserve of 60 hours, and the precision doubly certified by COSC and METAS. A very beautiful harmony of this watch, between the proportions, the agreement of the shades of the dial and the hands, and the variations between polished and satin steel on the case, the bezel and the bracelet. Only one small regret: I would have done without the date indication at 6 o'clock, but this is not a defect. For Omega and speedmaster fans in particular, a good complement compared to a classic moonwatch.

Latest Omega innovations in a very successful reissue

This watch exudes a very beautiful harmony.
The dial and the bezel, tinted in very slightly different blues, are magnificent, with the exterior of the fluted bezel, which goes well with the fine mesh of the bracelet.
Original Tudor movement, very precise and with a good power reserve.
The Milanese type bracelet is in fact with links, extremely comfortable. This allows the circumference of the bracelet to be adjusted. Fortunately, because there is no micro adjustment in the clasp.
The end of the horns is a little protruding, which could possibly be annoying on small wrists.
Beautiful power reserve of 70 hours
It also looks very good on the blue rubber bracelet, very well matched to the dial and the bezel.
It catches the eye, and I often receive questions and complimentary remarks when I wear it.


Sporty and elegant

Bréguet is a name that has thrilled me since childhood: all these inventions, all these pieces in museums.
I can't afford a grand complication from the brand, but this classic, available in 4 versions (guilloché or enamel, white and yellow gold) has been catching my eye for a long time. I opted for the enamel and white gold version, for its discretion, its sobriety, its supreme elegance.
40 mm in diameter, 6 mm thick, welded horns, small seconds at 4 o'clock, Bréguet signature almost invisible at 3 o'clock, in the enamel. A movement of great beauty.
The power reserve is a little short at 45 hours, but it's really not a handicap.
It's a joy to wear under a dress shirt. But the advantage of white gold is that you can really wear it in all circumstances without it being too ostentatious.
Sorry for my photos, which do not do justice to the beautiful flame-blued Breguet hands.
This watch exudes a peaceful harmony, without being boring or tiresome.
A pleasure to wear (and show off)

Elegance, discretion and sobriety

Essential when you plan to spend some time at a depth of 3,900 meters! 
Such a watch may seem ridiculous and useless, but it is very successful and proportionate. Of course, you preferably need big wrists to wear it effortlessly: it is heavy, 44 mm in diameter, quite thick (with a 5.5 mm thick glass in particular). 
But it is very pleasant to wear, the bracelet is adjusted with an ingenious system (Glidelock). 
120-click black ceramic bezel very well adjusted and harmonious around the magnificent dial shaded from blue to black. 
Date function (unfortunately), but no cyclops. 
The watch offers a very beautiful profile despite its thickness, particularly due to the subtly domed glass. 
Discreet helium valve on the left side. 
Good quality Luminova for very good night readability. 
You need a certain size to wear and assume this watch, but it is very pleasant to have a watch that has such a presence.

Useless, impressive and beautiful diver

This watch has nothing to do with perpetual calendars with sub-dials like JLC or IWC (among others).
The perpetual calendar is there, including moon phases, but the dial remains almost bare, which makes the information ultra readable and contributes to the elegance of this module.
Very thin bezel, almost non-existent, beautiful blue hands, discreet railroad track around the edge.
40 mm in diameter (its ivory white dial makes it appear a little larger than its actual dimensions) and 13 mm thick.
55 hours of power reserve
The finishes are perfect, on the front and back. Very beautiful movement, with the traditional 3/4 plate typically German.
This does not reach the quality of finish of a Lange, but the price has nothing to do with those practiced by this brand, for a design, an originality and a readability that have nothing to envy, I find.
Dress watch, but still easy to wear because it is not too ostentatious.
A pleasure to find it regularly, and to wear this brand that we do not come across very often, but which designs very pretty pieces.
The crown is only used for winding and setting the time. The different parameters are adjusted either individually by several discreet pushers located on the sides, or simultaneously by a single pusher that acts on all the parameters: fast and efficient.

An ultra-readable and simple perpetual calendar

I had been looking for a perpetual calendar for a long time, looking in particular at the latest JLC Polaris in its beautiful blue livery, but decidedly much too expensive for me. Also not decided to take the plunge with the Portuguese IWC (whose movements are manufactured by JLC if I am not mistaken and which are also too expensive for my budget). 
Until I came across this model dating from 2002 or 2003, in impeccable condition, full set, on a second-hand site. Not only the perpetual calendar, but the memovoc! And what a memovoc, not a Vulcan-style crackle, but a real, pretty gong, loud enough to wake a sleeper, not too aggressive or metallic, very pleasant. 
And a very well-designed perpetual calendar, fully synchronized, adjustable by a single external pusher at 8 o'clock. 
No risk, unlike IWC, of having to send your watch to a watchmaker if the real date is exceeded. Thickness of 15 mm, which is very reasonable when you consider that the gong must be housed under the movement. Diameter of 41.5 mm. 
Very nice proportions between the bezel and the dial, very readable for my old eyes. 
Two crowns: the one at two o'clock dedicated to the memovox (winding, setting and on-off) and the one at 4 o'clock for winding and setting the time. 
Incredible how much pleasure I have in wearing this watch, with its two complications that are really useful several times a day (pacing your professional meetings with this chime is a joy!). 
It is of course a dress watch, but no problem wearing it on a daily basis. 
This is a module marketed 20 years ago, and which is in my eyes much more attractive than most recent releases, whether in terms of quality, design, and price. 
A watch that doesn't often go into the safe, as I often want to wear it, look at it (and show it off...)

What more could you ask for?

Second model designed by Blaise-Dominique Giuliani after the Mille-Mer already described on the site.
Like its big sister, it is a diver, 1000 meters, improved Soprod movement base, steel, helium valve, with an original design and whose details have been thought out with great care.
Less "brutal", heavy and thick than the Mille-mer, this StarDiver is more discreet, more readable, while remaining a magnificent tool watch.
In terms of design, successful alternation of curves and angles, matte and polished areas.
Same superb Japanese sapphire crystal as the mille-mer, splendid blue reflections, and a luminova like I have never seen. 60-click bezel with no play.
The bracelet alone is worth the detour: removal of the links by pusher without tools, change of bracelet (two rubber bracelets provided in addition to the steel bracelet) without tools, and fine adjustment (up to one cm) easy and precise at the clasp. the decrease between the width between lugs and at the clasp contributes to the balance when worn, in addition to its successful aesthetic aspect.
The packaging is of great class and further reinforces the pleasure associated with this beautiful tool.
Blaise Dominique Giuliani communicates on the networks, on his creations, his intentions, the justification of the smallest details retained in the watch. He is easily reachable and this reinforces in my opinion the pleasure and intimacy that are built with this watch.


High-performance and innovative diver of French design

Limited series of 1000 copies for the 50th anniversary of the Polaris Memovox.
Very comfortable to wear, especially with the honeycomb rubber strap to avoid sweating in summer.
Beautiful alarm sound, adjustable and windable by the crown at 2 o'clock.
Despite a diameter of 42mm, the watch is not imposing. Beautiful object, finishes worthy of the JLC house, not bling-bling, very discreet on the wrist. It is sporty, but I would have no problem using it as a "dress-watch", including with its rubber strap, it is so sober and balanced.
Very readable, very good luminova.
Only criticism: the rotating inner bezel is bi-directional and offers very little resistance, which in my opinion does not qualify this watch as a credible diver.
Overall, a very beautiful limited series, a useful complication, a pretty discreet watch, very well finished, and totally versatile.

Limited Edition Anniversary Ringing Diver

Absolute love at first sight when I came face to face with this watch.
I was seduced by the finesse of the bezel combined with the diameter of the dial, by the total absence of any index, brand or reference (Moser is recognizable enough that they don't need to write their name...), by the beauty of the movement's finishes (and the power reserve), by the beauty of the blue background and its infinite variations, by the flexibility and beauty of the Kudu bracelet, by the curvature of the sapphire crystal, by the finesse of the caliber...
It's incredible how many questions this watch raises when I wear it, it's really very special, very original, very beautiful.
You get used to the absence of indexes very quickly, and you can read and set the time without any problem very quickly.
I now dream of a Moser perpetual calendar, sobriety, simplicity, performance of the movement, but it has become unaffordable for me... maybe one day...

Breathtaking and original

I dreamed for years of two Portuguese watches from IWC: the chronograph and the perpetual calendar.
I didn't buy the first one because until recently, it wasn't equipped with a manufacture movement, nor the second one because it was too expensive for me.
And one day I fell for this automatic model. Like all Portuguese watches, it is very elegant, very easy to read, sober, tasteful. Very practical 7-day power reserve, balance and harmony of the dial, very pretty movement (beautiful weight of the automatic winding).
But I admit that I don't feel much emotion when I wear it (rarely).
Of course the power reserve is impressive, but does it justify such a thickness?
And then the watch is very light for its volume, I always have the impression of having a pale fake copy.
It's stupid, but this impression persists with each new attempt.
I've been wearing it a little more recently, to see if this impression, this lack of emotion persists, and I have to say that I'm a little more seduced: its proportions and balance are really impressive, the dial and the blue hands are beautiful... it's perhaps a question of time.
I'm keeping it for now and forcing myself to frequent it more than before, to see if we find each other...

Readable, simple, practical, long power reserve

I was looking for a Vulcain cricket for a long time, already having a Tudor Advisor and a JLC Memovox. I really like this alarm complication, but it is sometimes not very convenient to set. The Vulcain is very simple, a crown and a push button, with which you wind and set all the functions. The alarm is audible, and super easy to set, much more than on the two watches mentioned above. I haven't taken it off since I bought it. Very easy to set without removing it from my wrist, it is very practical on a daily basis to remind me of appointments and meetings.
Very discreet, not spectacular, but really very pleasant to wear. Sapphire crystal on the front and back, the latter allowing you to see the double barrel, one for the watch, one for the alarm,
I bought it a month ago, and I haven't left it since, because it is really very pleasant, balanced, sober, useful, simple to use, and discreet to wear. The only small downside is that there is no quick date change using the crown; you have to use a small button at 10 o'clock, but that's a detail as the rest is really well thought out and made.

Vulcain Cricket, simple and effective mechanical alarm clock

An annual calendar with moon phases on the front, a second time zone on the back. The class of the art-deco design of the reverso. Practical complications in a dress watch that remains sober, of contained dimensions, very easy to wear.
I fell in love with the back, with its gray-brown background in Paris nails, absolutely magnificent to wear in the evening.
42-hour power reserve. Like everything JLC does, incredible watchmaking quality, under a sober and elegant, almost too discreet appearance.
A watch to take on a trip, with its practical and easy-to-set complications, which gives you the impression of having taken two!

Sobriety, elegance, class

It seems that this is the most complex movement that Rolex has ever produced. The adjustment mechanism of this annual calendar with a second time zone is above all very ingenious and super practical to use. This is the first Rolex that I bought for myself. Within the whole range, it seemed to me to be original, practical, simple, coherent, relatively discreet, functional, dressy, versatile. And above all, I was seduced by the changing shades of its magnificent blue dial. The fluted bezel that initially bothered me, actually contributes to its seduction as it catches the light and reflects reflections from all angles. 42 mm in diameter, it is a fairly imposing and heavy watch, but very comfortable to wear, and of contained thickness compatible with wearing a dress shirt. Very practical and instant adjustment of the bracelet for the summer when the wrists swell a little. Very visible and durable Lum. Beautiful power reserve of 70 hours. I think that if I had to keep only one watch from the ones I own today, it would be this one. It is always a pleasure to find it after a few weeks in the safe, and resetting it takes less than a minute as the adjustment device is so ingenious.

Simple and sophisticated annual traveler's calendar

The ancestor of all divers! What strikes you first is its weight, enormous: it's heavy, both on the case and bracelet side, a robust construction, no hesitation in taking this watch to do what it was designed for, that is to say go to the bottom, we know that it will resist, will magnificently provide you with the services you expect from it. Precise, resistant, super luminous (very beautiful lum). It is also a dress watch, large diameter certainly, but reasonable thickness. Very sober dial, beautiful sapphire crystal, solid caseback, comfortable power reserve. I was a little bothered at first by the appearance of the bezel: I always had the impression of seeing a plastic or varnish coating, while it is also covered with a very sturdy sapphire crystal. Another small downside with the bracelet: impeccable construction and robustness, super pleasant to wear, but no adjustment of the circumference, which is surprising for a diver. In short, a dressed crowbar, as comfortable on a diving suit as under a tuxedo. I have more and more pleasure in wearing it, as it is beautiful, simple, robust, versatile, and carries history. And I have a little weakness for the Blancpain brand, real watchmakers, who have gone astray for a few years, but who continue to produce truly beautiful watches.

The mother of all divers: tuxedo and diving suit

Does it vaguely remind you of a Patek model? It's not surprising, but it's neither a tribute watch nor a pale copy, it's a beautiful Breitling model, based on a concepto movement, with an annual calendar, a chronograph, and a moon phase. Very comfortable to wear, of reasonable thickness despite its complications. The profiled sapphire crystal allows it to slip easily under a shirt. The sapphire crystal caseback also allows you to admire Breitling's beautiful work on the movement. It stands out from the rest of the range, it's clearly a very high-quality model, at a price that's still affordable given the complexity and beauty of the object. The chronograph pushers are incredibly smooth and precise. The bracelet is very successful with its yellow leather lining. We could deplore the 48-hour power reserve, but it's already very correct. Small lum reduced to the hour and minute hands. I acquired this watch recently, but I wear it a lot, its cocktail of complications is very useful, its salmon dial is beautiful and balanced, and I, who was not particularly a fan of the Breitling brand for several years, have been reconsidering it carefully since I started wearing this module.

Annual calendar + chrono + moon phase at an affordable price

There are few watches with alarm complications: the Vulcain cricket, the Jeager memovox, and Tudor tried it twice. It is a complication that is a bit of a 'gadget' of course in the age of smartphones and smartwatches, but which has a lot of charm. Incidentally, it is indeed very practical, the settings are simple, the ringing (I should rather say crackling) audible enough to wake a good sleeper and signal to your interlocutors the end of the current meeting and the start of the next one. 42mm in diameter, very comfortable to wear on a cooked or metal bracelet. The dial is elegant, not overloaded, but has useful indications (on-off and ringing reserve, small date at 6 o'clock). A crown for winding and time-date settings, a crown for winding and setting the ringing time, and a push button for on-off of the ringing. The sides of the case are nicely curved and polished. Very light little lum on the hands and some hour markers. A very reasonable thickness despite the addition by Tudor of the alarm module on a very correct ETA with 42 hours of power reserve. No frills, no sapphire caseback, 100 m water resistance, a Tudor tool watch, functional, elegant and harmonious. It is not a complication that attracts crowds, Tudor removed it from its catalog last year. I do not wear it very often, but it is always with pleasure, and it always intrigues the curious who hear it ring and discover this pretty watch and its nice complication. The photos are taken on my large 21.5 cm wrists.

Alarm clock complication, harmonious and efficient

Limited series of 856 pieces, very readable watch since it was initially designed for observers in planes during the 2nd World War. 40 mm in diameter and thin bezel: it is indeed very readable. The salmon-ivory colored indexes give it a little retro style, further reinforced when worn on the leather strap, very original and very comfortable to wear. The Tegiment treatment that Sinn applies to its steel gives it increased resistance to scratches, and an almost titanium appearance (without being brushed steel, the appearance of the case and the metal strap are a very successful matte gray). 11 mm thick, solid back, black dial, very discreet date, which does not interfere. It is very well made, very well finished, very pleasant to wear, and the quality-price ratio seems excellent to me. Water-resistant to 20 bars, metal strap adjustable by 2 cm without tools. I had to wait almost a year for Sinn to produce it and send it to me, initially bought with the leather strap, I bought the metal strap in addition, and I alternate according to my desires. A very beautiful and good product, a quality that seems to me very comparable to the more prestigious Swiss brands for a quarter of the price...

Sinn 856 B-Uhr: a very successful observer's watch

This very pretty watch was not highlighted at all by OMEGA on its website when it was released in 2022, and they also did not warn that it would only be produced in a limited series (I think 3000 pieces). It is a reissue of a 1939 model. I had an immediate crush on it when I discovered it for the first time: the color of the silver dial, the blued hands, the small seconds at 6 o'clock, the very successful sector dial, the overall proportions, the absence of a date which would have disturbed the balance of the dial... I found it in an Omega boutique, one of the last available in Paris, and the crush was confirmed by handling the object. It is thin, due to its manual winding (but 72 hours of power reserve all the same), small dimensions for my large wrists, with its diameter of 39 mm, but the very narrow bezel leaves a lot of space for the dial. The domed sapphire crystal is the most beautiful effect. Sides of the case in brushed steel, the rest polished. The light brown leather strap contributes to the pleasure of wearing this watch on a daily basis. The back of the case, also in sapphire crystal, allows you to contemplate the very beautiful finishes of this very precise Omega movement. It is a watch that one could forget because it is so light and of contained dimensions, but that one never tires of looking at as the harmony of the sector dial and the blued hands attracts the eye. It is a reissue, and one cannot deny the slightly vintage aspect, claimed, (in particular because of the light silver tint of the dial), but the proportions, the design, the balance, the materials, make it a fascinating watch and very very pleasant to wear. A Longines sector dial looks a little like it, but does not support the comparison for long, in all respects (in my opinion).

Specialties CK 859: very successful limited series reissue

This worldtimer belongs to the SeaMaster AquaTerra range, we find on the dial the teak deck planks of a yacht. But what catches the eye above all is its world map laser engraved on titanium in the center of the dial, which represents the northern hemisphere seen from the pole. The position of the cities on the map corresponds to the cities indicated on the outside of the dial. Correct lum, water-resistant to 150 meters. It is a watch of good dimensions (42 mm in diameter, 14.2 mm thick). The conical shape of the bezel allows the watch to slip under a shirt without problem. Transparent back that allows you to observe the beautiful finishes of the movement. The crown, without guards, is a little hard to use. Beautiful alternation of textures between the brushed sides and the rest of the watch in mirror polish. The watch is available with a metal bracelet, but also with a rubber strap that I prefer (with anti-perspiration bosses, very comfortable even in summer). A good value for money for this watch with a complication useful to travelers, and fascinating to look at. A utilitarian watch, rather sporty than dressy (especially with the rubber strap), very pleasant to wear on a daily basis. Note the high-precision movement, but which I find a little noisy. Photos taken on my large wrists of 21.5 cm in circumference.

Attractive and versatile worldtimer

You have to find it on the Rolex website, well hidden behind the little-sought Yacht-Master II. Superb with its steel-platinum bezel, and its slate-colored dial with changing reflections between light gray and anthracite gray. Thinner than the Sub, it was supposed to be an evolution of it, before becoming a range in its own right. Very comfortable on the wrist, thin enough to be worn without problem under a shirt, it is very versatile, both sporty and dressy. The curves of its sides contribute to its superb line and its originality. It attracts attention, because you don't come across it often. I would have gladly done without the date and the cyclops, but Rolex did not see fit to produce it in a no-date version. I can't wait to try the 2023 version, black and titanium. Good power reserve of 70 hours, water resistance of 100m (probably more), and secure closure (with easy 5mm adjustment without tools). Photos taken on my large wrists of 21.5 cm in circumference.

Versatile and original

Cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2017 par le designer Nicolas Ducoudert, Beaubleu apporte une dimension nouvelle &agrave; l&rsquo;horlogerie 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.
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. Ces aiguilles affichent de mani&egrave;re po&eacute;tique les heures, qui ne pointent pas un index ni une graduation, mais qui indiquent une position, un instant depuis le centre du cadran.

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.

Beaubleu has just announced on June 5, 2024, the launch of a new limited series collection called<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/beaubleu/seconde_francaise"> Beaubleu Seconde Francaise</a>.

The collection<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/beaubleu/ecce"> Beaubleu Ecce</a> remains the permanent collection of the brand launched in October 2023. Despite its young history, Beaubleu has already marketed 3 collections in limited series:

<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Beaubleu watch cost?</h2>
