amanicoIn 2015, when Ferdinand Berthoud gave birth to its first watch, I was more intrigued than seduced. Truth to be told, I was in awe in front of the horological approach, less seduced by the aesthetics, I swore to myself to first see these watches in real life before any final judgement. It took me some time, 8 years, precisely, to be able to spend some time with this brand, and to visit their booth, this year, at Watches And Wonders. Of course, I couldn't see everything, but at least, I now have a first idea .....Story

amanicoYou attended the different stages of the elaboration of this watch through Mike's posts and mines, and with our dear Shorty Home's photos for more than one year and a half. The challenge was quite hard to achieve since we had to face some sanitary issues, the lockdowns, the slow rhythm of delivery companies ( with a first dial we lost in the mail! ) and so on, but we did it. Now that it has been delivered to all those who wanted it, it is time to share some thoughts on the Hentschel H1 Chronometer P20 which ... ...Story

amanicoIn December 2019, I had the opportunity to discover a new brand, Hentschel, during a dinner we organized with the Hentschel Team. We could see some of their watches, the H1 Chronometer, the H2 and the H2 Sport, but better, they let two watches for some 6 months to Mike H and myself, for us to live with them. Well, 3 months later, we faced an unexpected situation with the Covid and we couldn't do what we planned for them, mostly travels, but it was enough time to judge these two timepieces. I first had the .....Story

foverstaThe Galet Square collection is my favorite within the Laurent Ferrier catalog. Introduced in 2015, it gave the brand the opportunity to use a steel case for the first time. I think this material is perfectly suited to this context. Indeed, the cushion-like "Galet Square" shape is particularly successful, embodying a chic yet casual style...Story

foverstaAs we all know, there has been a strong trend in watchmaking for several years now: the versatile sport-chic steel watch with integrated bracelet. There are many reasons for the explosion in demand for this type of watch. I see two main ones. The first reason is linked to the success of the Nautilus or other Royal Oak watches, which may have encouraged certain brands to ride the wave and hope to benefit from a possible deferral of demand...Story

foverstaPascal Coyon cannot be blamed for spending too much time communicating to the detriment of his workbench activity. Because Pascal is rather discreet about his latest movement, the caliber 19. But does he really need to be visible? After all, the quality of his work is recognized by connoisseurs and his best ambassadors are the customers who were seduced a few years ago by the Chronomètre 1900 and its magnificent caliber. The most curious among us had, however, seen pictures of the caliber 19 that had been .....Story

foverstaThe Urwerk watch I prefer is the UR-202 which stands out for its reinterpretation of the principle of wandering hours thanks to its telescopic minute hands. The time runs continuously, with the central carousel making a constant and permanent revolution. I also really like the UR-210 even though it has a different concept: the large retrograde hand. Basically both watches share the same central carrousel that carries three satellites, each with a rotating cube...Story

foverstaKari Voutilainen's 28SC (central second) has just won the men's watch prize at the last edition of the Geneva Watchmaking Grand Prix. I had the opportunity to see it a few weeks ago during the Geneva Watch Days and I was very impressed by it. I can therefore understand the jury's choice. It is obviously not the most surprising watch of the year...Story
