Independents: I absolutely agree about the movement!

On the one hand, I think the specs of the movement are fine and I like the details like the free sprung balance and the ceramic ball bearings. Also, the timing results of my watch have been excellent at 0 hours and 24 hours. The Hermes 1839 movement as it is currently produced, is not finished badly

Independents: It's 41mm, the 38mm version is...

The 38mm version is only available in steel (blue dial and white dial with diamonds). I have a pretty flat 18cm wrist, so maybe that gives a different impression.

Independents: Very nice piece! I like the Slim D'Hermes line too.

Thanks for your suggestion. I think a simple Barenia calf strap could look pretty nice. The original strap I have is a gray alligator strap. It's nice, but I feel it's a bit too dressy. There is a great video on YouTube about Le Temps Voyageur and the module developed by Chronode: www.youtube

Independents: Another not often seen Hermes watch

Dear Nicolas, Please find here attached a picture of the inner casebook of the watch pictured previously. Also, another example I found with a white dial. From the picture, there appears to be no caseback number. What is visible on the caseback is a maker's mark. The hammer head with the number 353

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Thanks for your thoughts.

Dear Nicolas, Yes, I am familiar with this model, but it is not the same. It seems the watch I own is more of a re-edition of the 3155 (at least case-wise). Please find the best images I could find of a watch that is similar to the one I own, and that must have been in the same collection:

Jaeger-LeCoultre: Unusual (?) 1980's Memovox/Memodate

Dear everyone, This is my first post here in a very long time. Sometimes life gets in the way of the watch passion, but somehow I always find myself back here on WatchProSite. I recently acquired a watch that I am looking for some more information on. Let me first apologise for the bad quality of th

Horological Meandering: A new acquisition

Hello, I just acquired another piece for my personal collection (on the left). France had two important centers of watchmaking, Besancon and Cluses. The one on the left is a school piece by Paul Verdier, presumably a graduate of the school in Cluses. I doubt he failed to make the grade. Just like th
