This chronograph is truly atypical. By that I mean that it is really different from what can be found on the market at the moment. It is already a very contained size 38mm and 12.5 thick. It is of the dress type unlike sports chronographs such as Rolex or aerial ones like Longines. The quality is fantastic and the photos really do not do justice to the aesthetics of the watch. You have to hold it in your hand to really see it. I chose the classic panda color compared to my outfits but this chronograph is also available in superb green, blue and non colors. It is also a limited edition of 100 copies .... it is always nice to believe that we have a watch a little "exclusive"

An underrated gem

First purchase at Mido I am totally delighted. This shape from the past presents all the characteristics of a modern watch. The marriage is fabulous. Not being particularly vintage this watch totally meets my criteria, a superb aesthetic and characteristics that are no less so. This orange rubber strap associated with this gray dial modernizes and brings a beautiful sporty touch to the model. Concerning the movement it is a little too early to give my opinion.

A modern slap from the past

Initially looking for a chrono I hesitated between a Vulcain, an Echo Neutra and the so-called Hanhart 417 ES and to be honest it was last on my list because the Bund strap bracelet only moderately attracted me. 
Finally I opted for the latter and I do not regret it at all. It is 100x better in real life than what the photos can give and Finally this bracelet is a killer ... it is ultimately inseparable from the charm of the watch even if the steel bracelet also saws very well. 
The quality of the 417 ES is impeccable. 
I fell in love with it.

A charm from the past

This sinn has an exemplary finish, as soon as you take it in hand you immediately feel that it exudes quality. Everything is balanced in this watch and the red second discreetly brings its little touch of color. It is superb in its simplicity and efficiency. The movement is better regulated than the cosc + 3 s / d. The only small drawbacks would be the power reserve at 38 hours and the rather large clasp but otherwise nothing to say, this sinn 356 is a very good canvas watch

Pure toolwatch

Hello I just bought this brand new blatic bronze brown color and I am delighted with it. Aesthetically in any case it is superb and the sapphire insert makes all the difference compared to the basic bronze models. For the movement it is given for 9 seconds per day so rather correct. For the patina we will see with time. But for the moment very happy with my purchase even if it has literally been 20 minutes since it came out of its box.

Stunning

Seeing this watch through the internet reviews I was more and more tempted to buy it. But not knowing this brand I hesitated because I must admit I am like a certain number of people unfortunately influenced by marketing .... I finally listened to my heart and I ordered it ... and what a shock! The favorite was entrusted by 1000 .... the videos do not do justice to the beauty, the originality and the quality of manufacture of the watch ... I see nothing negative to say about this timepiece except maybe just a little knack to take to put on the bracelet. Bracelet which is also very comfortable. This watch is unlike any other in the good sense of the term. For future buyers you will not be disappointed

Out of the ordinary

Vulcain is a legendary Swiss watch brand, known for its famous "Cricket", the world's first functional mechanical alarm watch. The history of Vulcain is characterized by a constant commitment to innovation, style and quality and which has rebounded in recent years under the leadership of Guillaume Laidet and Remi Chabrat.
<h2 dir="ltr">What is the history of the Vulcain brand?</h2>
Founded in 1858 by the Ditisheim brothers in La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, Vulcain began as a small company specializing in the production of high-precision pocket watches. It wasn't until 1947 that the brand burst onto the international watch scene with the launch of the Cricket watch, a technical feat that quickly gained popularity.
The Vulcain Cricket, thanks to its unique alarm function, has earned the nickname "Presidents' Watch". It has been worn by many American presidents, including Harry Truman, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon and Lyndon Johnson, cementing the brand's international reputation. Starting in the 1950s, Vulcain continued to innovate by producing diving watches and launching the Vulcain Nautical movement, a diving watch equipped with an alarm function and decompression indicator for divers.
Despite a period of turmoil during the 1970s and 1980s, when the Swiss watch industry was shaken by the quartz revolution, Vulcain managed to overcome these challenges and recover. Today, the brand is lauded for its blend of classic design and modern technology, while continuing to produce high-quality mechanical watches.
