Lucky to have spent the summer in Noirmoutier en l’Ile, my personal paradise on the French Atlantic coast.

2 weeks holidays, 3 weeks home office, went like a breeze and already back to the office…

I took a few watches of course, but only « simple » pieces that I won’t be stressed to wear at the beach or around town: Big Pilot, Aquatimer, FXD Alinghi, Siderale-S and Blancpain (swatch wink )


































































At least I’ve been able to go to the safe and get some other watches in the rotation.

Cheers

Seb
