This Yonger & Bresson means a lot to me because it was given to me by a loved one. It is thanks to this watch that the world of watchmaking entered my life. I always told myself that I would have the same in Rolex, hence my 16013. Nothing more to add to this watch, but it accompanied me in all my adventures for almost 10 years, if there was only one left, I think it would be the chosen one. It is enjoying a sweet retirement in its case today, I take it out for pleasure from time to time. (The condition is still impeccable even after 10 years of wearing).

Yonger and Bresson

This Baltic is a perfect daily. It goes very well with the original grain of rice as with a nato (which I wear a lot) or even any leather. The precision is more or less acceptable for this myota. On the other hand, it's a shame that the glass is not sapphire..... The glass scratches very quickly, so I recommend changing it for a sapphire once it is too scratched. Good diameter. Good watch overall. I bought it to, basically, satisfy my desire for the Longines Sector Dial and this one does the job enormously.

Baltic HMS002 Noire

Magnificent watch with a futuristic design thanks to the era of quartz without which this kind of model would never have seen the light of day. I had a real crush on this one, which clearly divides. You either like it or you don't. And that's exactly what I was looking for in my collection. Model with a strap change system by unscrewing the case (typical of dynamics). Both a dresswatch for its size and materials but also a sport watch for its design.

My Omega Seamaster Spider is dynamic

This gruen is astonishing as it gets! Firstly, because of its history, which has continued to grow stronger year after year, but also because of its simple but effective look. 2 hands and a small second, the norm at that time, however, this brand was not the top of the range at the time, very few are in superb condition. I am lucky enough to own one (which arrived with its original box from the time). It is most often worn with a dressy outfit because it is mainly worn on leather.

GRUEN PRECISION N510R

I present to you one of the models I have always dreamed of. Very versatile, as chic on leather as sporty on its jubilee. It is a 1987 full stock model, in 10/10 condition. Very happy to have come across this gem, after hesitating for years to take the plunge. It is still waterproof to the same bars as at the time and varies between -4/+4sc per day. You can find me on Instagram under: Passion.garde.temps, where I share content.

The model I always dreamed of

I vaguely knew the brand that sports a crown as a logo (they are obviously not the only ones) before I was given this quartz chronograph. Since then I have been a little interested in the brand. It is a French brand created in Paris that offers quartz and automatic models at very affordable prices. 
To be completely honest, recent designs don't speak to me much! 
What strikes me immediately with this timepiece is obviously this yellow dial that I really like and that brings pep (very nice for sunny days). The black sub-counters integrate well. 
However, the date window at 4 o'clock distorts the dial to my taste with its white color. The chronograph module unfortunately no longer works on this watch. 
Regarding the bracelet, nothing to complain about, it is not an exceptional bracelet but it clearly does the job. 
I rarely wear this watch because I find the dimensions of the case and the lug to lug too large.

A yellow dial for summer

I am from that generation marked by the Yonger & Bresson advert that was constantly on TV. "Yonger & Bresson", watches with Swiss precision". 
However, it is a French watch with a French movement (here an FE 3612 with very average precision). 
Whoever came up with this ad campaign pulled off a brilliant move. In 15 seconds, the brand is mentioned 3 times, then a sentence: watches.........Swiss (with a strong emphasis on Swiiiisssse). 
Since I am very nostalgic, I had to have a Yonger & Bresson in my collection. I chose this one, but the brand's models are countless. The watch is of average quality, and yet it still works (which just goes to show...). 
In the same vein as the Kelton, the Yonger & Bresson allow those who have fears to enter the world of vintage without financial risk. And for the older ones, to treat themselves to a little moment of nostalgia.
