Take all the time that you need...

...a quick but very informative report, thank you. I have decided that my collection needs a rose gold piece and the Master Memovox in 40mm or the Master Chronograph also in 40mm fit the bill exactly. It will be difficult but fun deciding which watch to buy. N

I can only tell you, Neil, that there are some strong an great " tendances " this year.

Will elaborate later, BUT: 1/ The Return of reasonnabily sized watches. 2/ In a certain way, the return of the Classicism, with the 2 pieces you mentionned. 3/ You don't have to sell your house to have a great piece. Those are very important points, and I will of course come back to them ...In Depth! Best, my friend. Nicolas
