amanicoI am spoiled. I love world time watches, and I love Jaeger-Lecoultre. In these 4 last years, we had and still have three watches in the catalog. The Geophysic Universal Time is one of the most interesting relatively affordable novelties from these last 4 years...Story

amanicoOn the 28th of February 2007, I finally got after a long wait, my Jaeger-Lecoultre Amvox II in platinum. I remember this day like it was yesterday. The wait was very long, because I fell in love the day it was unveiled, in the last days of December. My AD gave me a call to tell me that I would probably love what I would see...Story

amanicoThe Master Ultra Thin Tourbillon is starting to become a long saga. The first " MUT " Tourbillon has been unveiled in 2012. Then, in 2015, we had a version in white gold, with a grained dial: This year, the changes are deeper than you could think at first glance. The most obvious change is, of course, the guilloché blue enamel dial you are starting to be familiar with, now...Story

amanicoAfter the unveiling of the Master Ultra Thin Moon steel, in 2011 and the black dialed version in 2015, Jaeger Lecoultre gives birth to a new iteration of this reference, in white gold, this time, and most importantly, with an original guilloché blue enamel dial. The Master Ultra Thin Moon in steel from 2011: The black dialed version from 2015: And the brand new guilloché enamel version from this year. Compared to the former " MUT Moon ", this new member of the family has a slightly thicker case, due to the ... ...Story

amanicoAs announced, this year won't be the year of the Duometre. We'll have to wait till 2020, most probably, to see something new in this line dear to many of us. Still, there are some offers, this year, which are worth some serious consideration. I will arrive at the SIHH on Tuesday late afternoon, so the first live pictures will come on Wednesday morning...Story

blomman Mr BlueNew year, same game – Box Play! This time it is the LeCoultre Memovox reference 3072. As far as I can remember, the 3072 were only made for the North America market. An odd-looking bird with oval case, cupola crowns, diamond shaped hands and rectangular marker on the seconds hand! Together with all these different shapes you have the round alarm disk and indexes. The different sized indexes are polished with a brush pattern and not angled in the same horizontal which gives a very strange perception of them .....Story

amanicoWhen the Reverso Tribute Tourbillon Duoface was unveiled, in the first days of September, I couldn't see it, and I had to do with press pictures, to write a quick review on it. Here is the link to this review: So, two weeks ago, I asked the Manufacture to let me see this new Reverso in the metal. The first impressions were positive, even though I am far from being a strong fan of Tourbillons which make a hole in the dial. I much prefer when they are part of the dial / movement, such as the Reverso Platinum .....Story

blomman Mr BlueFriends, We often talk about the complicated or the sports... But I would like to put a light on some of the core criterions of a modern wrist watch: Time, Date, Automatic, Water resistant, Shock resistant and Accuracy. This is what a big part of the watch buying customers wants. Yes, is this order, at least if you look at most of the big Manufactures and their main part of watch production each year...Story

amanicoIf you follow me, you know that there is a big love affair between myself and the Duometre à Chronographe. A love affair which started as soon as the Duometre was unveiled, in 2007, and which was compromised after a sad event in January 2011. But in December 2016, I could solve that painful issue and get another Duometre, to replace my platinum version, a white gold black dial. It's been two years, now, that I own this black beauty...Story

amanicoUnveiled in April 2018, three months after the other members of the Polaris family, the Polaris Géographique World Time is, in my opinion, one of the most tempting offer from this line of watches. It took me several months to be able to see it in the real, and I must say that this experience confirmed my first positive impressions. In January 2018, I had two favorite Polaris: The 50th Anniversary, and the Chronograph World Time. Now, I am in trouble, as the Polaris Géographique is extremely tempting...Story
