Hi all, What do you guys think of this BLU Paris blue ?

I have had this watch for over 10 years and am still in love every time I wear and look at its beautiful blue dial.

It tells time by using a small circle within a rotating disk with hour ibeing represented by the blue dot on the small circle and the hand represents the minute. It is very neat setting the time because you see the small circle following the big outside disk rotating with the hour dot kissing the outside disk while the minute hand turns 360 degrees. Difficult to describe. Please go to YouTube and type "BLU watch" to watch the video.

BLU = Bernhard Lederer Universe

Cheers,

Gordon

I really love the way used to display the time. Original but not crazy. Unusual and amazing timepiece you own Gordon ;-)

Although it is not an expensive piece and does not have a complicated movement, this BLU is really good looking and fun! Cheers, Gordon P.s. next little while I will post another creative INDY watch made by the terrible child !

I owned this watch (close to your BLU) for a very short period (it didn't work unfortunately and the cost of a full service was more than the price of the watch itself)

The name of the brand is Jean Marcel (not really sexy) but the movement was made by Vincent Calabrese (much more interesting). It offers a rotating nice blue dial which indicates the minutes with a jumping hour sub-dial. And you have a little indicator at...

I remember when this line was released. Certainly they were avant garde when they came out. Minimalist but interesting pieces. This one is quite attractive. Bravo. [nt]
