Two main reasons: First, I have found difficult to stumble upon the specific models I especially covet; Second, I am worried about service issues, as those Duoplan watches were initially marketed as being time and cost-efficient in their repair: in case o...

The Tribute to Geophysic 1958 in steel and the 2016 Memovox Boutique Edition, whose dial looks very much like the Snowdrop (what a cool name for a watch!) ...

Absolutely, my friend.

A lot of nice watches.

Yes, indeed, some are quite tempting. The Reverso Red, the Futurematic, the DSA, the Quartermaster and the Blue E 855...

A JLC Boutique near where you live? Yes! Try, and let me know, mon ami.

Maybe paris boutique 😄

They will probably land there, I mean the unsold ones, but when and how many...

PS: But I own several of them, so I can show them to you. :)))

I will visit you my friend 😄

Whenever you want! :)
