Being a fan of the Speedmaster that I intend to buy one day, I hesitated for a long time to get this Moonswatch from the prices offered on the internet until I came across an ad with for once a price identical to that asked in store and what's more in hand delivery so I said to myself, let's go for it and so for a few days now I have been the owner of this iteration of the Speedmaster.

Apart from that the watch is pretty but you can see that it is not made to last over time and that it is therefore a disposable watch.
That said it does the job and pleases my nephew enormously to whom I am thinking of giving it and who knows, it might make him want to buy a real Speed in a few years.

A revisited icon

After the Moonswatch that I acquired last week, I fell for this Blancpain X Swatch that I find really superb. It was also a real favorite once I had it on my wrist.
The only downside is its nato strap that I don't find great although very pretty but fortunately the seller left me the rubber that is mounted on it and I find that it suits it wonderfully.

Light and captivating

Here is a watch that I had my eye on for many years but for which I fell for last week after trying it on.
What put me off about this watch was the fact that its diameter was less than 44mm and as I am used to watches of this diameter, I had a lot of trouble taking the plunge until I came across an ad for this watch at a very interesting price for a piece dating from January 2024 and I decided to go and try it on.

As a result, I left the store conquered and I contacted the seller to tell him that I would take it from him.

The watch arrived two hours ago and it was love at first sight as I find it so magnificent. Its gray sunray dial is superb and the rubber strap suits it much better than the steel strap.

Anyway, a new piece that I love and that I am sharing with you here.

Thunderbolt

I bought myself this PAM00111 second-hand in 2018 and since then it's been love at first sight. I love its sandwich dial, its cushion case and the crown protector. A watch on which I change the strap like I change my t-shirt as it gives it a completely different look depending on whether it's on a canvas or a nato for a more sporty look or on leather for a more elegant look.

A classic but also elegant diver

After seeing the episode of small watches between friends on this watch, I had a little crush which made me swear to myself to get one and it is now done since this morning or going to my watchmaker to buy nato straps, I come across this watch in his window and so I left with this very pleasant diver to wear and with a look that I love.

Seiko Prospex Diver Pad

After the Rolex Deepsea that I sold and a Panerai that I still have, here I am with another diver which this time is an Omega. Not having been able to try it before, I bought this watch blindly and therefore not without a certain apprehension but in the end, it suits me super well with a diameter of 45.5 which is nickel and is really magnificent. In short an Omega in all its splendor!!!

Omega Seamaster Planet Océan 8500

This is the one that was my second automatic watch and that was given to me by a friend in 2014. This Vostock has everything to please me, the fact that it is a watch that goes everywhere and is unrecognizable but also its very sporty look. Basically it is mounted on a rubber strap but having broken the latter and not being able to find another one or even an adaptable one because of its unique lug width, I managed with the help of a seamstress to adapt a nato strap to it and I must say that it suits it wonderfully while I was afraid that it would not match. Anyway, here is a very simple watch with a light gray sunray dial with the most beautiful effect and that we do not see often, if ever.

Vostock Amphibia Black Seal

My first watch in 47mm and unlike many of my other watches, I didn't think twice before buying it because it was love at first sight when I saw it for sale on the site. Buying a watch without being able to try it on can be a bad surprise but this was not the case, quite the contrary.

Huge

My very first automatic watch that I bought new in 2014.
A very elegant watch on its original crocodile strap but which is also very sporty depending on whether you wear it on a nato, a canvas or a rubber.
It is also very massive but that does not prevent it from being very comfortable to wear.

Elegant but massive and also sporty

After buying my first Turtle a few weeks ago, I fell for it again a few days ago, but this time for its version with a khaki embossed dial and black bezel that I find simply magnificent. This watch inspires the solidity and quality that make it possible for me to wear it every day, regardless of my activities, without fear of damaging it. In short, a beautiful piece, this Seiko Prospex King Turtle Diver's SRPE05K1

Seiko Prospex King Turtle Diver's SRPE05K1

My first square watch and I love it. At first I was skeptical about buying and wearing this watch that I found too thin until the day when I passed by the retailer's store, I went in to try the BR05 to see what it would look like on my big wrist and finally and after several tries between the BR05, the BR03 Diver and the BR03 Black Steel which I finally left with. And since then I love wearing it and especially on the khaki rubber strap that the retailer gave me.

Square

When I bought this GShock last year, I was surprised by its lightness and comfort to the point that it became my new toolwatch and then later, I learned about the mods allowing me to customize it with a case identical to that of the famous Royal Oak and that's what I did and since then I find it even prettier.

GShock modé CasiOak

In 2019, I fell in love with this Hamilton chrono that I bought new on the internet.
This watch is very pretty on its original crocodile strap but I find it more beautiful on a nato or a parachute strap even if a rubber or leather like Arezzo Strap also suits it wonderfully.
And although it is 45.5mm, it fits very very well on the wrist because of its very small lug to lug.

A chronograph with a vintage look

A watch that I fell for because it looks a lot like the Richard Mille RM01 that I find magnificent but unfortunately out of budget so this one was a great alternative because of its price. This watch which has a look that is both sporty and dressy depending on whether it is on a leather strap or rubber is very very comfortable to wear in addition to being very beautiful.

TW Steel CEO Tonneau 2002

A watch from an iconic French brand that was the first one with which I really set foot in watchmaking and that I wore every day for many years. It was given to me by my grandmother in 2002 for my 26th birthday and although I don't know why it no longer works today, I still keep it in my collection.

Very beautiful piece that pays homage to the iconic Blancpain Fifty Fathoms "No radiations" from the 60s. Having a few moonswatches I find it better made with better attention to detail (roundness at the bezel level ...). Having worn it a few times I think it is suitable for everyday use especially for sunny days or for the happy owners of the blancpain who wish to wear a less expensive watch. The bracelet is comfortable and quickly forgotten. What I liked most is the fact that it is a tribute to a legendary model but with a fun touch.

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.

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>
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>
The prices of Beaubleu watches change and differ depending on the model. Most cost between &euro; 800 and &euro; 1,600 according to the references.
