pplaterThis story really begins – as so many stories do – in a bar. A very expensive bar; in a very expensive hotel; in 2013. John McGonigle has travelled from his workshop in country Ireland to chilly Geneva in order to deliver a new watch. Quite conveniently for all concerned, his visit coincides with SIHH, so the town is awash with celebrity watchmakers, brand ambassadors, retailers and collectors...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

amanicoAt the contrary of what its name suggests, it is rather a " Géographique " than a world time. Indeed, you have a window, at 6 o' clock, with the hour of the city which you can select through the crown / pusher at 8 o' clock. The date is subtly integrated at 12 o' clock, and you have a night and day indicator, to show you if the time zone selected is PM or AM.

foverstaI wished to come back to the Chronomètre Optimum by François-Paul Journe. As we have been able to observe for many months, there is a growing interest around the brand founded by the French watchmaker.

amanicoThose who know me well know can witness that the 1858 Tachymeter is an important watch for me. Today, after 5 years of ownership, this love has even increased. There are two reasons behind the fact it is a very interesting watch for me. 1/ It made me change my point of view on watches...Story

foverstaHanhart is one of those brands that are appreciated but whose notoriety does not go beyond the small circle of watchmaking enthusiasts. The situation could change, however, with the reissue of one of these emblematic models, the chronograph 417. The history of Hanhart began in 1882 when Johann A. Hanhart started its activity in Diessenhofen.....Story
