Horological Meandering

Last fortnight 13 April, after their first launch in Switzerland, Julien Coudray 1518 arrived in Singapore at their exclusive partner boutique - E'Collezione. Pretty mysterious approach with very little information available on the internet and the press ...  

...watches are interesting enough (time will tell, once they are past prototype and the price is known), but can anybody guess what watch the Coudray representative Jeffrey Leong is wearing himself? It sure ain't a Coudray! Cheers, pplater.

...Jacob monstrosity? Lots of crowns, that's for sure... Best, Gary

best, Horo...  

Hello Kevin How are you? Horo has provided you a pic of what Jeffrey Leong wears Both he and his staff wear LindeWerdelin too. Soon he may plan for his staff to wear J.M. Weston The price if I remembered seeing correctly is in CHF, so exchange rate plays ... 

Very nice looking boutique with an interesting range of product.

... Thanks for the report! Will watch out for the brand going forward. Ken

I always enjoy hearing about new brands, so thank you for that. The pieces look promising...with the exception of that plate instead of the eight hour marker. I think it throws off the symmetry, and doesn't really add very much to the aesthetic. Assuming ... 

don't like to have serial number on the dial...but it is subjective too. Why a plate on 8H? I have no idea, did get the chance to discuss in-depth with the CEO. Thanks for viewing. Kong

Kong, they appear quite rough in finishing, of course they are prototpyes. Must see the final products in order to comment further. It is interesting to see the enamel dials executed in that manner. Regards Ling

I wish the finishing in the prototypes are better too, Will have to see the real pieces before could make any inputs. Didn't manage to speak in details with the CEO as guests came in early on event day. Kong

Ugh the caveman created a sundial in 11836BC. It's only a question of time before a Swiss start-up buys the name nick

The 1518 is a bit... how can I say... useless? Fx

Hi Nick Just checked the URL/domain - 11836BC.com , it is still available Thanks for viewing. Kong

Nice report. Have to admit that the watches do nothing for me, and I much prefer the shoes and the art. nick

Will look forward to the real sales pieces! Stephen
