As some of you may know I have a bit of a love and hate relationship with luminous material on watches. A serious complication for me does not need lume on its dial or hands. On these Tudors on the other hand it’s a must. This shot was taken after this bo...

with respect to lume I am with you and Nico with one more niche to fill: next to sports models (lume OK) and complicated pieces (lume disturbing) I see myself wearing not so expensive but still complicated (ie chronograph) pieces on leather that are no sp...
