Between trains and planes, work and writing reviews, there is always some place for some fantastic encounters. Encounters with some great people, such our dear Franco and his friends, Pablo and Simon, both musicians at the Paris Conservatory, encounters w...
Not sure which "category" packs a greater punch - the Pesaux 260s or that fantasic anti-magnetic pair. I've never seen that Patek reference until now. I would happily wear any of the 4 you posted. Darren
In fact, there are few watches, in my book, that can compete with them. Vintage Chronographs, such as the 13 ZN, maybe? And some great Military Watches, such as the JLC Mark 11, the Longines Weems 48 mm ? AND, some pocket watches, which had a superb, exem...
Hi my friend, You had a great week end apparently. What a gorgeous quatuor you got, and what a pair of chronometers. This is clearly a dream for a collectors (and what a relief to be already half way). The 3417 is a dream watch althoug I still prefer the ...
I am a big fan of the JLC Geophysic, and I dream about adding this Patek in my collection. I recently discovered the fatal appeal of the " School Watches "... Too. As for the brands,and the re editions, yes, I think they should pay some interest to these ...
Ciao Nicolas, Great post of 4 incredible wrist watches. As you know, I'm a 3417 fan and since I bought it, I started collecting informations, and writing reviews about it. Unfortunately my 3417 review (as you known) is only into Italian still, but I'll be...
It seems that I read somewhere ( but I am enable to remember where ) that the 3417 was resistant to 400 Gauss... Anyway, that fits the bill, for me. Thanks for these superb scans, and this very interesting an impressive work you did on this watch which is...
Hi Marco, I was wondering what the red and green referenz numbers mean on your list. I saw one of those in a shop but your criteria does not match the dial I saw.
I love the Geophysic, it was love at first sight when you showed it to me in Paris, un petit bijoux, the simplicity and those hands!!!! I am waiting for a "tribute to" at 38mm. Kind regards from Down Under Francois
about these wonderful watches.I know some have views against reissues, but for me if I can only get an reissue like the JLC Geophysic. I prefer the looks of the Geophysic over the PP. I would happily wear it proudly just like my TT Deepsea. Trust you are ...
...in my book, at least. I am stunned by this post - THANK YOU! all four Pieces, are extremely elegant and touch upon a collection theme that is boiling in my mind. Chronometric performance combined with ,Style in Design, Size, Materials - all factors com...
All four watches looks awesome! Thank you for sharing. As you know the Antimagnetic is a theme I am very interested in... Both the 3417 and of course the Milguss are Grail watches for me! In addition to the Blancpain FF and Omega Railmaster that you point...
But I woudl say that the JLC and the Patek are above the mob, if I may say... And, as you know, I am also on the hunt for an Omega CK 2914: One stone, two birds: One, for the amagnetic thema, the other as it is a nice Omega I want to get. Best, my friend....
Ciao Nicolas you know it has been a pleasure to meet you in Paris ... mu Geophysic is in 18K yellow, so the comparison with my 3417 is not nearly as stricking as with yours ! May I talk of my little perversion? I do hate Dauphine hands with all my heart, ...
you have am amazing collection, my friend, with some greatissime pieces. The 3417 uis one of them, for sure, as well as your YG Geophysic. As for the 866, I wondered why you rpeferred it to the 666, now I understand. We should do these informal GTGs more ...
... very informative post and never thought to compare Geophysis and amagnetic PP and link to their root. very interesting and learnt new knowledge. thank you indeed! stefan
