Horological Meandering

I know the summer is soon coming to an end for the northern hemisphere, but summer is coming in the south, so let's not forget the water activities! The watches I want to present you are quite different from what I generally appreciate and try to share. I...  

But I've never seen these watches place Vendôme... maybe the company has its office there but where can you find them ? Fr.Xavier

Hi, The first watches were sold in 2009 and they opened at least one AD in Paris (9 rue du Marche Saint Honore), another one in Saint Tropez passage du port and a third one in Lorient. I don't think there are others so far but they are obviously willing t...

and style of Rachida Dati.... Sorry Dje, The joke was too beautiful...

Hi, I don't get parisian jokes you know! I'm just a little boy from the countryside! I guess a test of the watch by Mrs Dati would be interesting, she certainly has to face rough conditions! Cheers Dje

The Hyperbare model with bubble inside the dial is most interesting! I'd love to see that watch in person to witness how the bubble moves around the dial. I imagine it skittering quickly as you move your arm. Very cool! Patton uses a unique font for their... 

Hi, Thank you for your comments. Obviously there's some marketing too, but their tests are a reality that is really interesting and refreshing! Cheers Dje

Does the watch have 10 years warranty for the battery? Perhaps, this watch has given an answer to Mr. Breguet. "you give me perfect oil, I give you perfect watch.' Regards Ling

Hi Ling, I guess the batteries do not have a 10P year warranty. It would have been specified. I don't think batteries are generally covered by warranties for watches, like the glass and straps are generally not covered! But I guess if you buy one and your...
