ChristianDKHi friends Please jump in and post your FPJ watch for our traditional François-Paul Friday. I’m entering my second week of my summer holidays and we have just relocated to the summer house on the west coast. We have miserable internet here, so I haven’t been around here much in the past few days. Today we are headed for the local harbor to buy fresh fish from the boats that will land in an hour or so...Story

amanicoThere are very few pictures of the Grande Memovox in platinum which are nice. I found one from Christies, which usually use good pictures, but here, well, not their best: And another one, not bad at all, from " Watchbox ": During my last visit at the Manufacture, in... April 2019, I asked the Heritage Gallery to let me take some pictures of it. Here they are: One of the reasons of this relative scarcity is that it is a limited edition of 250 pieces...Story

patrick_yIntroducing: The Parmigiani Fleurier Tondagraphe GT Annual Calendar and Chronograph Timepiece Parmigiani Fleurier is a top quality Swiss watch producer with in-house manufacture movements that are decorated to the highest quality. Originally a ultra-haute-horlogerie brand that at one point only tackled the most difficult projects like automatons, minute repeaters, and restoring historical timepieces (for the Patek Philippe Museum among other big institutional clients), it is a true pleasure to see Parmigiani ... ...Story

amanicoAnd still counting! A bit before the end of the lockdown in France, I started with the Amvox IIP. Then, almost one month with 2 vintage I didn't wear for a while, the Deep Sea Alarm US and Europe. The US: The Europe: And, now I am currently wearing the Duometre à Chronographe in white gold. It is not a secret that I am a multi brand guy, with a bit more than 20 different brands in my collection, but Jaeger Lecoultre has the most important place in my heart and in number of watches...Story

foverstaAfter all, no matter what the slightly far-fetched story telling says around the Chronomaster Revival "Shadow". It doesn't really matter here since the outcome is much more important than the context. This piece is presented as finding its inspiration from a manual winding prototype with a blackened steel case. It is therefore not a clone of a model which was released in the past...Story

amanico2 new La Tradition are born. Well, two new versions of the La Tradition Seconde Retrograde, to be precise. One for ladies, the Reference 7038, in rose gold ( 37 mm case ) with a fluted bezel paved with diamonds and a ruby on the crown. The dial is guilloché, tahitian mother of pearl, with open tipped hands...Story

foverstaThis is one of the good news that Cartier is offering this year (yes there are others like the comeback of Pasha for example!): The restyled Santos-Dumont is now available in a handwind version after the presentation of the last year's high autonomy quartz version. To be frank, there are few details to distinguish the two watches apart from the slightly larger case size of the handwind version: the latter has a size of 46.6 mm x 33.9 mm compared to a size of 43 , 5mm x 31.4mm for the quartz version. The case ... ...Story

foverstaThe recent release of the new version of the Lange One Time Zone is really interesting to analyze. I will not speak about the watch ifself because I have not had the opportunity to see it yet. It falls into the category of watches which seem to be very close to their original versions but which in fact change a lot. We will see! On the other hand, what is fascinating is the message contained in a sentence of the official presentation: "The new Lange One Time Zone now connects the world more closely than ever .....Story

ChristianDKAnd post your Journe piece. I have really been anticipating this day, as tonight we will be moving to the summer house for some weeks. I prefer to travel with as little as possible but decided that would include my CB as well. Obviously it requires the right strap for the occasion...Story
