And two! barely recovered from the summer joy and pleasure that my Fujitsubo promaster gave me
Here I am just after the meet up in La Baule falling for a great opportunity with this promaster the more classic look but with a more worked bracelet and a navy sunray dial and a black bezel makes this watch strong and elegant
I am only a few days into wearing it but it has already amazed me with its lightness and elegance and its face of an adventurer of the abyss

Double whammy for this Promaster Marine Super Titanium

I am a salesperson and I am faced in my activity with a particularly long sales cycle to congratulate myself on having succeeded in a contract after two years of work I decided to give myself a little gift I don't really know why I thought of a watch
I didn't have a very good image of watchmaking having already had a manager about fifteen years ago who was very keen on watches and one or two colleagues too but the latter used it mainly to practice class snobbery by promoting intimacy with very wealthy customers = Yuck!
However, while browsing YouTube I was very surprised to see how popular this passion was and even if some cannot help a falsely detached elitism
And there I am completely immersed in this fever I am the type to look at a lot of tests and articles when I buy equipment (photo for example) and there in watchmaking there was something to do
At the beginning of this research I stumbled upon this brand which offered a reading of the time so poetic and original in the following days I was aware of having a very good purchase opportunity on a Dutch OUTLET site it did not take more to make me dive into this exciting world
It was the first of a long list it gave me and still gives me beautiful emotions and it regularly comes on my wrist to remind me that I am generally very happy with myself


First time ever

And it will certainly not be the last one, Citizen really offers timepieces with one of the best RPQ on the market
The titanium of this watch really seduced me, the comfort it induces due to its lightness on the wrist is fantastic
The color of the bezel gives it a maritime and vintage look, the brightness of the dial and the combination of the silver of the indexes and the blue itself varying from more or less dark depending on the brightness and another obvious asset of this watch
Really a very good surprise at a price defying all competition on titanium of this quality


My first Promaster

A great opportunity this little Venetian equipped with the GMT nh34 movement from Seiko
Its freshness, its vintage and classy look make it very important in my collection
It makes me forget my unconditional taste for Arabic numerals and seduced me with its harmonious indexes its compactness 39 mm in diameter and its lug to lug which makes it easy to wear even in dress mode
I found it at the time in 2022 at 470 euros which made it ultra competitive but today it is at 625 euros catalog price and the NH34 movement is widely distributed among other micro brands which offer very good quality products at lower prices


A Japanese heart with Italian elegance

In July 2022 I discovered this watch on sale on the Occarat website. At first I liked it, being quite a novice, I was at the beginning of my watchmaking fever and at the time I let myself be seduced very easily. 
But after more than a year it is one of my favorite watches. I wear it very often on everything since I replaced the bracelet which greatly reduces its bling-bling style. 
The finishes are of good quality, the colors go very well either casually or more casually. 
And of course the 500m withstands the waves of Lacanau very well. 


Summer discovery

I immediately fell for the blue dial associated with this beautiful bronze case, the Ocaresque promo finished conquering me
and not a summer goes by without this North Sea 1967 coming to challenge the waves of Porges and the 32 ATM are sometimes not superfluous given the strength of the Gironde swell.
One of my first in my young collection, a resistant diver with a bronze case that matures with oxidation causing a variation in the colors of the case in total adequacy with the variations of the dial which goes from oceanic blue to deep night blue depending on the light
The only downside is an aesthetic choice not allowing a good reading of the bezel sublimely compensated by the harmony of the sound of it during rotation


Oceanic lightning strike!

Seduced at first by the unique look and by the ocean protection project, I fell for this very original green turtle
Unfortunately its exceptional moon and its magnificent design do not compensate for its weight and its thickness, too uncomfortable for me
it will leave my collection


a beautiful green turtle full of Lume

A discovery that I am very proud of, this Oculus range from an Italian micro brand Pantheum Roma particularly satisfies me
Superb design with this project to pay tribute to Roman architecture, by offering a piece with a definitively Italian DNA and spirit.
The dial of this "Automatic Oculus" is directly inspired by the vault of the Pantheon in Rome. The design of the watch dials is inspired by the marble used inside the Pantheon. Available in five colors - Janus, Minerva, Neptune, Pluto and Venus.


Have me!

Bought at the very beginning of my watch fever in a famous Parisian boutique, I was seduced by its pleasant face, its oceanic dial, its vintage look, its CELITA Elaboré movement, its bracelet combination (although I was only delivered the silicone one) 
It accompanied me on my last trip to Vietnam and Taiwan, its compactness and reliability give this Circula its place in my podium of watch brands and I hope in the medium term to acquire another model of this fantastic brand 


German quality

I immediately fell in love with the vintage look and the very attractive price (thank you Dealabs)
This watch is of high quality, its style goes perfectly with different outfits
I wear it quite often, its readability is perfect, I love the style of the hands and the inex, the leather strap is of very good quality, the whole thing is very comfortable


a dressed diver

The first microbrand to feature the then brand new NH34 caliber from Seiko, the Venezianico brand is offering a variation in the era of time in 2022, with a smaller diameter of 39mm while keeping the DNA of the Nereide, its very first model funded on Kickstarter in 2017, then under the name Meccaniche Veneziane.
And the success is there, the quality does not disappoint and the model sells without any problem. The watch that I am presenting to you today is in the direct line of this Nereide GMT 2022, given that it is in a very summery color released on August 9, nicknamed "Cielo".
Cielo, because it is indeed the Italian sky that inspired this creation. The azure blue reflected on the sea and the white of the few cottony clouds that dot the Venetian horizon.

When you get out of the package, which was well packaged and in the image of the brand, there is a qualitative white box and outer box, which give an impression of quality. In the box is the warranty and a map of Venice. The watch is well protected and the unboxing experience is rather premium for the price of the watch. Some will regret a fairly large box that will take up space in the closet, but this is a problem that any watch fan must face, shall we say.

At first glance, the watch exudes quality, the finishes on the case are very correct for the price, the crown is signed and the BK7 insert is very beautiful. The glass is sapphire and has an anti-reflective coating. A small detail that enthusiasts will appreciate. The bracelet looks like a Patek Philippe Nautilus bracelet, a less common choice than the everlasting Oyster and Jubilee, we regret the lack of articulation at the first link of the bracelet, which will tend to lengthen the total length of the piece.
The bracelet closes with a butterfly clasp rather than a diving clasp, which inevitably makes it more complicated to adjust to the precise size... Especially since the bracelet does not come with any "half links" while these are on sale on the brand's website... For €30 each.
As for the color, the star of this model, we feel the desire to surf on the "Tiffany Blue" fashion launched by the Nautilus Tiffany & co. and which we find everywhere since. It should be noted that the blue of the Nereide GMT is much closer to a "Tiffany" blue than other models like the Tissot PRX and Citizen Tsuyosa "ice blue".
The watch is comfortable, although a little thick for its diameter (due to a caliber that is not the thinnest). We regret the presence of a 120-click bezel, more suitable for a diving bezel. The watch would have deserved a bi-directional 48-click bezel in line with its GMT function...

To get away from technical considerations, does this watch do its job? Does it transport me under the Venetian sky every time I look at it to know the time?

I would say that it is a great success and fully fulfills this promise, the captivating blue of its dial and its insert never leave me unmoved when I look down at it.

I therefore recommend it without hesitation, thanks to its many positive points, its unisex diameter and its vibrant colors make it a very good summer companion for any watch lover. It remains to be seen whether it has a place in the collection outside of summer, because it will certainly not go unnoticed at work in the fall!

A piece of sky on your wrist and an invitation to travel

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>
