Horological Meandering

We have all tried on quite a few watches over the last year, some we have handed over the cash for and some just did not hit the sweet spot. Please give us your experiences Ps - Happy Christmas!

Since it was introduced this year, I have tried it a few times and I am completely obsessed by it's appearance. It does not happen that often that I like every detail of a watch. Especially in white gold it is so cool. But the fact is, that it's too large...

Hi Alexey, I have been enjoying your Breguet reports. I would be interested to hear your comments on why Breguet has such a following in Russia. Perhaps in a new thread on the Breguet Forum, but I would be fascinated to hear your thoughts. Nice La Traditi...

Firs one is not a 2009 novelty. But I was totally seduced by its beauty, by its hypnotising two escapments Tourbillon. Second one is the amazing Zeitwerk. Innovative, strangely beautiful... Lange at its best. But I had the chance to try a lot of watches i...
