Explore sebks's vacation watch collection for a stress-free summer in Noirmoutier en l’Ile, featuring IWC Big Pilot, Aquatimer, Tudor FXD Alinghi, and more.

Sebks shares a captivating photo essay from his five-week retreat to Noirmoutier en l’Ile, a tranquil island on the French Atlantic coast. His post highlights the joy of selecting 'simple' yet robust timepieces for a stress-free vacation, perfectly blending leisure with remote work. This approach offers valuable insight into curating a travel watch collection that prioritizes practicality and enjoyment over preciousness.

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

)

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

Cheers

Seb
