blomman Mr BlueFriends, You all know this year is the 70 th anniversary of the original 1945! We already saw the Anniversary models from BaselWorld… As I stated in my previous post about the Le Corbusier Trilogy, due to this celebration I will go back and revisit some of the Vintage 1945 models we have seen from the Manufacture over the years. Back in 2012, Girard-Perregaux made a trilogy homage to one of their hometown sons: Charles-Edouard Jeanneret – Le Corbusier. In this part 2 we have come to the city of light, the ... ...">Story

patrick_yPuristSPro moderator and long-term Montblanc fountain pen collector Patrick_y tries to be critical of the Montblanc Heritage Orbis Terrarum Watch and finds his job so difficult he decided to focus on what was done right about the watch. Despite now being past Basel 2015 and SIHH 2015 many of the watches are still very memorable, especially the Montblanc Heritage Orbis Terrarum that was launched at SIHH 2015. This watch is the latest iteration of the original World Time concept first pioneered by Louis Cottier in the early 20th century and the first Montblanc world time watch I'd consider procuring for myself. PuristSPro moderator, Amanico, an expert with Louis Cottier's World watches, already wrote a very comprehensive review of the watch...">Story

foverstaI attented a very nice cocktail this evening at the GO boutique in Paris. The boutique may be small, it is always a pleasure to meet the team and to discover the latest deliveries. Of course, as I was expecting it, the Baselworld novelties were not available but a few days after the crazy week in Switzerland, it was good to have a reminder about the key pieces of the past collections. I propose to browse a few pics taken during the event...">Story

blomman Mr BlueFriends, Enjoy the Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Anniversary Small Seconds Review and Live Shots. I hope you had a good rest during the Easter and now ready for more novelties reviews! Since the Girard-Perregaux Vintage 1945 Anniversary Small Seconds, reference 25880-56-111-BBBA is very different from the other two Anniversary models; I will only cover the Small Seconds version here. The most eye-catching about this watch is the dial. In the press photos, the dial looks almost white...">Story

foverstaA few days ago, I had the opportunity to see at the Capucines Boutique of Cartier a very unusual yellow gold watch. It is a Lady's watch from the 40s (circa 1943) and designed as a buckle. The main "case" if I can use this word here is composed of a tapering cylindrical case with lateral scroll-work (it looks a bit like a whistle). The square satin-finished gold dial is signed Cartier and features dot hour markers and applied dot gold markers at each quarter except on top of the dial...">Story

amanicoThe name of the Watch " sounds " familiar to you, if you know Jaeger Lecoultre a bit, and if you are a fan of astronomical complications and of minute repeaters. The Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication ( MGT GC ) was introduced in the catalogue in 2010. The case was big ( 44 mm ), thick ( 15, 6 mm ) more sensual than the Master Cases, and offered the magic combination of two kind of complications, Astronomy with the sky map and the sidereal time ( zodiacal calendar, 24 hours , months ) and the Minute ... ...">Story

small-luxury-worldThe 176 th year is a good year for Patek Philippe, because the new pieces shown are very well balanced and fit perfectly in the already impressive collection. There are three major novelties, several (about 30, if we don´t count the pieces from the Rare Handcrafts department) interesting iterations and not to forget a marketing “bomb” – probably THE talk of BaselWorld 2015. In case you really missed the later (hard to imagine, but anyway), I am not talking about any kind of smart watch here – more on this ... ...">Story
