What can I write I didn't already mention on this marvel? A real challenge, my friends... With time passing, love is getting stronger and stronger for this Chronograph which is a Champion in the high end manual winding Chronographs category. Yes, yes, you read well, high end Chronograph. All along t
It took me 11 years to make it all original! 11 years, since the day of April 2009 I bought it, with a redone dial, without the correct dial, without the sticker and the box, and with an incorrect plexy. A true work in progress... I bought it without the correct dial because I knew where to find one
The combination of a chronograph and a perpetual chronograph is one of the classiest I know. Chopard has its own interpretation of such a classic, with several versions, in gold, in platinum and... In Titanium. This is the last one we'll see, here. The L.U.C Perpetual Chronograph in platinum was unv
The third stage was dedicated to power, torque, mainly. Now I have to focus on the brakes, as the car is too powerful for the small discs I have. A real pain on tracks. The original discs on my car are 296 mm big. For a 252 HP and a 1128 kilos car, it was enough. But now, with such a torque and HP i
A couple of years ago, I showed you a Reverso featuring Rama, an i ncarnation of the Hindu divinity Vishnu, probably ordered in 50 pieces in 1932 by the Maharaja of Kapurthala. Here is another " Indian Reverso " so called " Beauty of India ", which was bought by Jaeger LeCoultre in 2004 for the sum
In 2013, Girard Perregaux released the Constant Escapement which offers linear energy to the balance wheel thanks to an ultra thick ( 14 microns ) silicium blade buckling back and forth. The interest being that the amplitude is never the same all along its power reserve. At the beginning, the amplit
Arnold and Son is just an incredible brand. The more I see some of their creations, the more I love the brand. The Luna Magna ( Big moon, in latin ) is an awesome creation, or should I call it Creature. Launched in 2021 in rose gold or in platinum with an aventurine crystal, Arnold and Son came in 2
Let's think about it: Among all the modern Memovox, which one is the most elegant? Yes, there is an evident subjectivity in this question, as elegance depends on our very own conceptions / criterias / taste / education, but I believe that the Master Memovox is, in my opinion, THE Epitome of Elegance
Yes, this one landed on my wrist 7 years ago, exactly. I will not write the tumultuous story again, as you all know how important is this watch for me. To make it short, I ordered it when I was back from the SIHH, in 2007, and got it in platinum, first, with a white dial ( quite a rare combination )
I am not a super fan of these so-called " luxury sports watches ", and, among them, the Nautilus or the Royal Oak, with a preference for the Royal Oak, though. Same for the Vacheron 222. My favorite, till now, was the Girard Perregaux Laureato. As for the Chopard Alpine Eagle, I must say that it was
