amanicoOne of our friends came with this splendid Reverso Tourbillon Platinum Skeleton, during an event in Paris. The probability you fall on someone wearing this watch is close to zero, as it was issued as a true limited edition, a batch of 35 pieces, in 2004, and I only saw two for sale in these last 10 years. I would also add that this is the third I had the opportunity to see in the reality, in these last 15 years. This Reverso is pure magic...Story

foverstaI would like to come back to one of the watches in my collection: the Tag Heuer Carrera Heuer 02 Fragment. In fact, beyond the fact that I appreciate it very much, it symbolizes, in my opinion, a very interesting approach of the neo-retro style. Tag Heuer could have been content to clone the reference Carrera 2447 NT which was used as inspiration for this model but the brand decided to collaborate with the Japanese designer Hiroshi Fujiwara to give it a touch of originality and a more contemporary atmosphere. .....Story

SaschaHello dear friends and Hublotista, The Geneva Days, the LVMH Group's annual presentation of new products, which took place parallel to the SIHH in Geneva, is history. Geneva Days will now be replaced by LVMH Watch Week, which is currently taking place in Dubai. And Hublot again presented great new products. The really big technical novelty was not there (they are traditionally shown in Basel), but there were some exciting new products...Story

amanicoWe know the Vintage Jaeger Lecoultre Triple Dates very well here, as several of us own or owned one. The Triple Date is certainly one of the nicest vintage Jaeger Lecoultre with its tear drop lugs, its superb movement and its timeless dial. Add the " big case ", which is 36 mm, and you have a hit. Ref 2721: Less well known and sought after, but absolutely charming, the Double Date which was in production from 1935 to 1945 is a sweet candy...Story

BillVintage Rolex booklets are great part of a full set. It adds another dimension to how the watch was intended to be used. The booklets are half owners manual and half advertising presentations. Sometimes we are lucky to find full sets from original owners and those are the standards that we go by...Story

foverstaHamilton is a brand that works very well within the Swatch Group. Thanks to its history and its positioning, it offers watches at reasonable prices that appeal to both watchmaking enthusiasts looking for reeditions of classic models and customers who wish to acquire well-made mechanical watches without breaking the bank. It cannot be said enough: Hamilton's role is fundamental to the Swatch Group. The production volumes are not those of Tissot or even Longines but Hamilton has a key mission: to give taste .....Story

foverstaI had the opportunity to see again the Panerai Radiomir 3 days Acciaio 47mm with brown dial a few days ago. This Radiomir with bears the reference PAM687 is one of the recent Panerai watches that I prefer. It was unveiled in the pre-SIHH 2017 context as part of a limited series of 1,000 pieces with its alter ego with black dial, the PAM685 (which is less appealing to me). In fact, every time I see it, I feel that I like it a lot...Story

amanicoJames, aka Waitlisted, decided on a " coup de tête " to come for a few days in Paris and asked if it was possible to meet some local members. After a few phone calls and private messages, we could organize something spontaneous with the usual suspects which was quite a performance since it was Xmas Holidays. At the notable exception of Fx who couldn't come, we had James, Bill, Mahesh, Rascal, Mike H and myself, plus 2 wonderful wives, N and I. A nice place, known by some of you: And some very cool watches, .....Story

foverstaWe are in the first day of 2020... but I would like to come back to one of my best memories of 2019! Actually, I had the privilege to attend a prestigious football game at Manchester, in the famous Old Trafford stadium: the BIG GAME between Manchester United and Liverpool. Actually, this opportunity came thanks to Tag Heuer which is the current sponsor of the Red Devils team. When Tag Heuer proposed me this quick trip to Manchester, I couldn't resist...Story
