amanicoEven at Jaeger Lecoultre, they know that I am not a big fan of paved watches. I almost never take pictures of them, truth to be told. But here, I made an exception. Why? Because here, it is not only about jewelry! Indeed, not only these two watches are a ture challenge in terms of fine jewelry, and you will soon understand why, but they are also, or should I say mainly, an object of horology...Story

amanicoWhen the Master Minute Repeater was first unveiled, in 2005, it was the platinum version. It was such an instant love that I almost forgot that one year before, Jaeger Lecoultre gave birth to one of their most extraordinary watches, the Master Gyotourbillon One. I was starting to dream, checked the list price, and I was pretty convinced that it would tay in the " dream watch " category. One year after, in 2006, they introduced the Titanium ( polished ) version with its awesome open dial, and immediately, .....Story

patrick_yWatchProSite Moderator Patrick_y interviews IWC CEO Christoph Grainger-Herr. Architects. There's something about architects that just make them an authority when it comes to design, proportions, and so on. If I boil all of that down, the statement I'd be making would be simple; "ARCHITECTS HAVE GOOD TASTE." Since April of 2017, IWC has been helmed by the young CEO Christoph Grainger-Herr, a former architect; at the time he was only 39 years of age...Story

amanicoThere are few watches in my collection I remember the exact day, month and year of their purchase. The Sonata is part of them. I even remember, one year before, its announcement on the watch fora, and especially, our website. This day, on the 23rd of July 2020, it will be 16 years-yes, you read well- 16 years that I own it...Story

amanicoJaeger Lecoultre sent me a very interesting link with some videos on their chiming watches. There are some facts I knew, some that I forgot. When Jaeger Lecoultre says, for example, that they made 200 chiming calibres, they count the alarm, too. A fact I could have remembered as I saw the exhibition they made some 10 years ago on their chiming watches, which included alarm watches, too...Story

foverstaThe Odysseus Datomatic in white gold is one of the two new watches presented by Lange & Söhne in April as part of the 2020 edition of Watches & Wonders. The release of such a watch is hardly surprising. If the first Odysseus Datomatic was the first steel watch from the Saxon manufacture to join the permanent collection, no one expected that the following ones would be produced with the same material. The reasoning is simple: steel must remain exceptional in the brand's catalogue and if the inaugural .....Story
