ChristianDKWe are in a lockdown here and it has just been extended for an other period. The logistics with small kids while trying to run my business can be challenging at times. However, this has been a great week. I’ve been struggling to solve a project at work and today I seem to have come up with a great solution...Story

foverstaThe [Re]Master01 chronograph was presented by Audemars Piguet in last year's first quarter. The purpose of the presentation was to celebrate the inauguration of the brand's brand new Musée Atelier (Museum - Workshop) in Le Brassus. The inauguration took place in light of the health crisis a few months later, but there is no doubt that the watch and the museum share the same ambition. It is not a question of looking back nostalgically to the past but of taking advantage of its roots to project itself into .....Story

amanicoThe Master Géographique is the first Jaeger Lecoultre which intrigued me. I discovered it in the early 90's when it was issued. Here is the first generation, a special one in platinum, belonging to our dear Sandgroper: Followed by a second generation in the second half of the 90's, in steel, gold and also in platinum, limited to 250 pieces, with a superb hunter case back: Then we had the Reverso Geographique, in rose gold only, limited to 500 pieces, another eye candy, which has the good taste to display ... ...Story

amanicoIt didn't take long before I could finally see the Reverso Tribute Duoface Rose Gold Burgundy Fagliano Limited Edition! When I went to the Paris Boutique, I had some questions in mind, not about the size, as it is the same than the Tribute Duoface Blue Fagliano unveiled in 2019, so I know it well, but about the true hue of burgundy and the strap... And, of course, the overall feeling this watch provides, which can be confirmed with an experience in real life, only. Among all the Tribute Duoface, my favorite ... ...Story

FabRDear Friends, let me kick off the new year on our forum by having some fun -- here's for you a collage that I have created of my favorite watch on this planet, Patek "Boccadasse" 5177G-010...and the ONLY TWO specimens I have ever seen of it! The one on the left is part of the amazing collection of our dear member Michael Ng, on the right is mine. We saw in the past multiple comparisons of Patek enamel WTs (the 5131 and 5231 series), but this is probably a first for an "out-of-catalog" reference (currently, ... ...Story

foverstaLange & Söhne unveiled this year during the digital edition of Watches & Wonders a variation of the Zeitwerk Minute Repeater in a white gold case, while the original model, presented in 2015, was in platinum. As this is a minute repeater watch, the change in case material compared to the original watch is far from insignificant. This material has a significant impact on the quality of the sound rendering of the minute repeater mechanism. This is the reason why such a change was expected...Story

amanicoIf there is a watch which is among my favorite, with the " keeper " status, the Jaeger Lecoultre Duomètre à Chronographe certainly is one of them, one of the ten watches, all brands included, which will probably stay with me forever. The Duometre is a special watch which had a lot of wrist time, during this special year. That was my " lockdown " watch, with a few other Jaeger Lecoultre, just to keep in touch with the world, with Passion, with horology and fine horology, in a time you are necessarily centered ... ...Story

foverstaI wished to come back to the Rolex Explorer II 216570 white dial, which is certainly not a new model, but which still has a special place in the Rolex catalog almost 10 years after its presentation at the 2011 edition of Baselworld. In fact, there are two fundamental reasons that explain its singularity. The first is its aesthetics and the second is related to the nature of its movement. Clearly inspired by the 1655 reference as evidenced by its third orange hand, the Rolex Explorer II 216570 white dial remains .....Story
