The black one, with the Cal 135 is a killer.
The white one is superb, too. But movements speaking...
Anyway, Favre Leuba is a very interesting brand which released some great watches, such as the Bathy or the Bivouac, for example.
I was not sure you found the Black one! Bravo. Bravo as well for this pair, Blomman. Very well done.
Best,

Favre-Leuba Chronometer, Officially Certified
Friends, You all know I have a soft spot for early Chronometers…. And my weakness includes lesser known brands like Favre-Leuba! Here is a very nice clean example from the late of 1950s, possible early 1960s. 35 mm in diameter and 43 mm lug to lug. The ca...
Very interesting and very nice piece
Knowing name of this brand in my book is what makes difference between us watch nuts and others Love the 3-6-9 markers and Maserati like symbol on 12 What are the working hours of museum!? Cheers D
Working hours? 24-7! ;)
Yes, I find the dial very classy and very cool at the same time! Best Blomman
Indexes at 3, 6 and 9 are interesting as they imitate baguette-cut diamonds. It gives to this timepiece an original little Dandy style.
Interesting to see that PP uses true baguette-cut diamonds for its Nautilus 40th anniversary even if there\'s, of course, no link between these both watches (or if it is the case I missed something). Best wishes Alkiro
PP is copying this one...! ;)
During the 1950s a lot of this type of "bling" effects. Especially on ladies watches - cutting the crystal to look like diamonds... Best Blomman
Very nice pieces representing the era
The black dial has a very subtle and classic dial face but then the other one also has unusual 12 o'clock, 3, 6 and 9 markers. Thanks for sharing them.
Wonderful watch!
I take it this one is not related to Zenith in any way? Also like your \'Canadian\' shots, on the maple leaf In principle I\'m looking for a 36,000 VpH Favre Leuba, in practice I need to wait a bit till the next watch addition
I share your interest in Favre-Leuba.
I had set out at one time to collect a watch from each of the members of the Community of Precision Watchmaking that used the AS 1687 ebauche. I made it as far as a caliber 214 Ebel and a caliber 88 Zodiac, and then set my sights on a caliber 1152 Favre-L...
I was under the impression that JLC used a lot of GP Quartz movements (Cal 352)
75 USD?! That is a great catch! Best Blomman

Thank you, Nicolas!
Well, I showed the black several times here.... And if you would have joined in Vienna, you could have seen it live! Best Blomman
It's amazing how these two are so alike . . .
. . . and different simultaneously. They belong in the same collection, side by side. A most sensitive pairing, blomman. I feel the same about my handwinding Karree and vintage GS . . . so alike and yet different, to the point that the product is greater ...
Yes! That is why I always like to go into a theme in group!
To find one is excellent! But to find two or more forms something much bigger! Yes, your Karree - I hope to see in the metal one day... Best Blomman
