amanicoI shared the story of my Rolex Air King 116 900 several times. How I almost bought it, then how I bought it, how it was stolen to me two weeks after, and how I was gifted it due to the incredible generosity of this community of ours.

amanicoThe Geophysic True Seconds was unveiled in September 2015, while the Blue dialed one came two years after, in December 2017. I could only see the True Seconds Blue on pictures, till I met a friend at the SIHH in 2019, who was wearing it. I always wondered how it could really be in the flesh. Indeed, blue dials can be disappointing, sometimes, compared with what you see on pictures...Story

amanicoYou probably know the Breguet Classique Tourbillon Extra Plat Ref 5367 coming with its white enamel dial. This year, Breguet unveils the same watch, but with an outstanding enamel dial. The case is made in platinum, with some good proportions ( 41 mm diameter / 7, 45 mm high ) which wears smaller in the real life than " on the paper ".

And of course, this watch is based on the same recipe used previously, namely a steel Luminor 44mm base, powered by an automatic P9010 caliber with a 3-day power reserve and released in a Sealand context, i.e. with a lid hinged at 12 o'clock...Story

foverstaIt had been known for many months and the brand has just confirmed it by means of a press release: Grand Seiko will open "its first boutique in Europe" (as expressed in the press release) in a prestigious location previously occupied by Fred, at the number 7 on the Place Vendôme, right next to the Jaeger-Lecoultre boutique.

foverstaI am wondering if Belgium is not becoming a country that counts in the watchmaking world. We can legitimately ask the question since Belgian professionals have distinguished themselves for many years and in very different segments. We obviously think about Ressence, Ice-Watch ... without forgetting the talented Belgian watchmakers who work within a lot of brands...Story
