Well, I wrote so much about the Polaris, original and Tribute, that the only thing which missed was to do a Test Post.I own my pair of Tributes since November 2008, and I had the occasion to try them both for a short time during the last summer.What I only needed, to give them some delicious bad life, was to find a Nato Strap, to not ruin, when in water, the original strap, or the leather aftermarket I found for them.So, I can say that, this summer, the TPP 68 was the watch I wore the most, submitting it to... more

Generally we write posts about watches we bought, often just bought. We also write posts about watches we want to offer ourselves, or dream to offer ourselves.   You can trust me that the day I put my hands on a Jaeger-Lecoultre Geophysic I'll write a post about it. But so far and as of today I can just post about a watch I missed.   One of these Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic was posted for sale on Thursday and I contacted the seller as soon as I saw the ad, but it was already too... more

  Last year at the SIHH, I fell under the charm of a very special series of watches, The Enamel watches, The " Venus " or the White Email Grand Feu MMRs, The Reverso Pavonia Piéce Unique, and the Master Grand Tourbillon  Continents.   Here, the link of the post I made at this moment:     jlc.watchprosite.com     I kept these marvels in my mind, hoping to be able to cross their way one very close day, and since a few days, it is now done. &n... more

- INTRODUCTION -There are a few watches which can be considered as " watches for Life " when a Collector thinks about his collection.Some Time Keepers are getting old faster than we thought, as they loose their original appeal, hence, their power of attractionOthers grown on us, with years passing, and resist to Time.The Master Minute Repeater ( MMR ) undisputably belongs to this last category.The first " meeting in real " was " Fatale " for me.It was during a dinner with some friends, in Paris, in November... more

There are watches of little interest that you can see everywhere and there are watches that you sometimes think you don't see enough. Of course the level of interest is somewhat personal. Of course you see only where you're looking at!   Last SIHH was the revelation to a limited audience of a watch that was supposed to remain in the dark for a while. Nicolas posted already about this watch after its public launch this spring at Le Castellet but as I couldn't post after the SIHH I did... more
