During an exhibition at the Carousel du Louvre he show me a lot of things regarding watches finishing. He found that Rolex’s finishing was scandalous and I agreed. I think you know him.
What are we wearing this week-end?
For me, today, it will be the Lecoultre Deep Sea Alarm US, ref E 857. But it will change tomorrow. This is one of those watches I wear the most, I must confess. With the European version. What about you, this week-end? HAGWE, Nicolas ...
I am literally drooling for this JLC of yours Nicolas! It has so much charm! I am starting the week-end with this one on my side...
I will probably wear my Longines Tuxedo this week-end as well ...
Lunch with a friend today for me. Check your WhatsApp messages Nico
Lunch in Ghent, Belgium with Alex 😉 ...
I am very scared!!
But for the moment I am looking forward to my visit of GP in La-Chaux-Fonds. After that I'll probably be too …. exhausted to buy any other watch. At least for a few months. Hehehehe
I still can't get those
two Neo Tourbillons out of my head. I REALLY hope to fall in love with a vintage 45 chrono in steel instead. Or with a nice Worldtimer. For my own protection… ...
An expensive, completely
unpractical, unnecessary choice!! But for me the “watch heaven”.
The 'humble'....
quartz Casio that I received as a gift in 2018, from a co-worker at the time. I enjoy the size and shape of it tremendously! I frequently get glances from people who, at least for a moment, think it is a higher-end, luxury watch. Of course, it isn't, but ...
What a beauty.
Need to grab this one for the weekend. Currently wearing the Ceramic Daytona. ...
Well.. This one for the whole WE.. Needed some fresh air again.. ;) ;)
Unobtrusive elegance.. Habring2 Doppel Felix Rattrapente To me a refined charme.. HAGWE & Best, dear friend !! hs. ...
Indeed, really love it.. Truly great watches of this Indie !!
You really know me & my stables very well ! Also, it’s somewhat nice to have a manufacture in one’s country. - I’ve visited them some years ago, a pretty nice operation they have created over the years.. HAGWE & Best, my dear friend
I only have two watches here
So I am still wearing my delightful JLC Memovox Tribute to Polaris 1968. Bon week-end ! ...
JLC Geophysic… I am wondering about
getting a Geophysic 58 or a True Second… The best would be a True Second with the sword hands of the 58… but I am also wondering what is happening with unsold new stock… as I would prefer brand new with full 8 years guarantee…

Yes, Of course I know Ruben.
At some point he was working with Serge Barrier, he had an établi there. I spent some time there watching him work. It’s fascinating. And he is an humble highly knowledgeable person, which I like.
Do you know if JLC will accept a special order ?
For a Geophysic 58, including its no date dial and hands, with the True Second calibre… ?
So, there would be two orders then…
It would be interesting if JLC would accept special orders like they do for enamelling, engraving, etc… For the Geophysic we would then select the most appropriate case, case material, dial, hands, back and calibre from what they manufacture and get a sor...
It’s funny but I think that the Geophysic
is an intellectual watch for intellectuals… and the true seconds complication very much too…
So I shall wait… as you’d be the
very best architect for such a thing like you did for the Tribute to Polaris 👍🏽What a feat that was ! Incredible !
