amanicoDon't get me wrong, I am not discovering the Jaeger Lecoultre Amvox 2 DBS, I am rediscovering it, thanks to a friend who bought it some months ago and who had the good idea to bring it with him. No, the main purpose of this article is to re evaluate it, 14 years after its release. Indeed, when I first saw the Amvox 2 DBS in 2007, at the SIHH, my first feeling was not really positive, which leads me to a point: When you are a moderator, you have to fight against subjectivity, and let your biased feelings " ... ...Story

amanicoIt has been a very long time since I saw this Duomètre in the metal, several years, for sure. I must confess that it is not my favorite version, as the one which stole my heart is the 40, 5 mm white gold version / Enamel, which I find supremely exquisite, not to say precious. Though the white gold / black dial has a lot of charm and appeal, and we'll see that in the details. First of all, I also have to say that the QL is my third favorite Duomètre...Story

amanicoHere it is, finally, this Reverso Tribute Nonantième , the Anniversary piece from Jaeger Lecoultre to celebrate the 90th birthday of THE Icon. It is very welcome, as we had a Soixantième in 1991, a Septantième in 2001, but no official " Huitantième " in 201, even if the Tribute To Reverso 1931 can be considered as an Anniversary piece. Let's have a look at the illustrious predecessors, first. The original Reverso was a small watch ,with a 38 x 23 mm case...Story

amanicoThe Master Grande Tradition Tourbillon Celeste was a good surprise, in 2019, unveiled during the summer, to be precise, after the Gyrotourbillon five and the Master Grande Complication Minute Repeater Perpétuelle. In fact, this is not a totally new watch, as I would see it is strongly inspired from the Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication introduced in 2010, but without minute repeater, and as an evolution of the MGT Tourbillon Celeste Hybris Artistica born in 2014, in a limited edition of 3 pieces, ... ...Story

amanicoA few months ago, I posted my first feelings and thoughts on the Polaris Memovox Mariner, when the official pictures were unveiled. I was impatient to discover it in real life, to see if my first positive reaction was the good one. Indeed, the real experience is the only way to appreciate the proportions of the whole watch, its dial, and how you feel it, when it is between your hands or on your wrist. That's what we'll see, now...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
