amanico1950 - 2020... Jaeger Lecoultre is celebrating the 70th birthday of its icon, the Memovox. For that significant birthday, the Manufacture decided to unveil two models, the Master Control Memovox, and the Master Control Memovox Timer. Let's first start with the MEMOVOX: The new Master Control Memovox is the heir of three watches, the reference 3150 for the dial ( 1950 ), the reference 3151 for the case ( 1950 ), and the reference E 855 which was the first to use an automatic movement AND a date ( 1959 )...Story

amanicoThe Quasar, hidden during the SIHH and unveiled at the 2019 Edition of Watch and wonders, is the fourth opus of the Neo Tourbillon with titanium bridges. Indeed, the first Neo Tourbillon was a revolution when it was introduced in the 2014 catalog. No gold bridges, but some sensual, even if less refined, titanium bridges, all in curves, but quite powerful, contrasting in an eye catching way with the warm 45 mm rose gold case. It had its charm, but for those who wanted to go farther in the concept watch look, .....Story

foverstaI sometimes wonder what is the most emblematic model of the F.P. Journe brand. The Tourbillon Souverain most often comes to my mind because it is in line with the first wristwatch created by François-Paul Journe in 1991. But on reflection, I could consider the Chronomètre à Résonance as the most representative piece of his approach...Story

amanicoIf there is a watch which is almost never discussed, the Master Grande Tradition Minute Repeater is certainly one of them. Unveiled in 2009, 4 years after the Master Minute Repeater in platinum, it came as a surprise. And surprisingly, its case and dial didn't receive any variation the years after. Yes, this is a " one of its kind ", in yellow gold, limited to 100 pieces, inaugurating the new Master Grande Tradition case and line...Story

amanicoFinding my Jaeger Lecoultre Ultra Thin watch is a work in progress for some years, now. The easy way would be to find a MUT 34 in platinum with its superb grey blue dial or a steel black dial. I am fine with the 34 mm case, the Cal 849 which I really love, but in 2013, I started to have my heart beat faster when I discovered the MUT Jubilée. Better than the MUT 34? THAT is the question! There are some big pros for the MUT Jubilée: - The " couteau " ( knife shaped ) case, which is truly spectacular and which .....Story

foverstaPanerai was one of the most active brands during this edition of Watches & Wonders. This is hardly surprising: Jean-Marc Pontroué wants to boost a dynamic and this must be seen. The year 2020 is placed under the sign of the 70th anniversary of Luminor, it is also logical that Panerai structures its main novelties around this theme. In fact, when I think about it, I believe that it should not be easy to develop new products at Panerai...Story

foverstaAt least now with Roger Dubuis, things are easy to understand: the collections that are too far from the message of dynamism and of audacity that the brand wants to convey are gone. If the Velvet collection still exists to offer a proposal to female customers, the strategy is clear: Excalibur, Excalibur and Excalibur. I fully understand this strategy. The brand produces only a few pieces per year, has a specialty among others (the flying tourbillon), so it is better to focus on what it can do best with watches .....Story
