The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

An Agelocer Moon Phase diamond watch, a dial like a beautiful starry sky with a very well-detailed moon, a fairly discreet diamond bezel, not bling bling, a watch that you look at without looking at the time, just to see the details and the whole watch, too beautiful.

I find the Agelocer Moon Phase watch truly beautiful; the details on the moon are exquisite, with a splendid lume. It sits perfectly on the wrist. For me, it's a watch that could easily cost twice as much. The 80-hour power reserve is very impressive, and the accuracy is top-notch for this price range.

A Lip Panda watch for its price is really beautiful, well-finished, and reliable. It has a lovely dial that catches the light well; you get what you pay for.

Lip rallies while 

Hello, I started by buying French watches, Lip and Yema, and now micro-brands like Léon Caradant, etc. For me, the Lip GIGN is a beautiful watch. It's a limited edition of 1973 pieces, 1973 being the year of the collaboration between Lip and the GIGN (or at least I think so, I'm not sure). It has a nice presence on the wrist. Good light

Another Lip watch, the large Nautic in blue, is a superb sunburst with reflections and a truly beautiful depth of blue. The craftsmanship is excellent; the crowns are very easy to operate. It's water-resistant to 200 meters, and I often dive; it's always accurate. The light is good, and it has a nice presence on the wrist.

Large blue Nautic

A watch that commands attention on a woman's wrist: a 36mm case with rose gold PVD coating, a natural mother-of-pearl dial with captivating shades of blue, green, and pink, each hour marker set with a genuine diamond, a two-tone bracelet, 100-meter water resistance, and a Swiss quartz movement.

Agelocer is Chinese brand born in 2013. It has grown around a contemporary-design narrative and a gradual move-up in movements, with a catalogue focused on &ldquo;mechanical spectacle&rdquo; (open-work, oversized moonphases, tourbillons) and a strongly digital distribution model.
<h3>Chinese origins, modern narrative and visual identity</h3>
Positioned as a &ldquo;new-generation&rdquo; Chinese watchmaker, the brand frames its watches as daily stage pieces&mdash;textured dials, open architectures, luminous signatures&mdash;seeking a legible, expressive presence, with a grammar that embraces mechanical ornament while promising simple everyday wear instead of intimidating technicality.
This language lives through a set of stable lines and more event-driven capsules (collabs or narrative editions), helping buyers navigate between &ldquo;statement&rdquo; and &ldquo;daily&rdquo; pieces; coherence rests less on a long lineage than on a repeated aesthetic (brushed/polished planes, cut-outs, depth effects) and an accessibility promise, under a brand art direction that stays consistent across series.
<h3>Astronomer, Schwarzwald, Universal Time, Volcano, Tourbillon: families and use-cases</h3>
The line-up reads cleanly: &ldquo;story&rdquo; lines (astronomy, geology), &ldquo;architecture&rdquo; lines (skeletons, integrated volumes) and &ldquo;spectacle complications&rdquo; (oversized moonphase, tourbillon), each mapping to a clear use&mdash;from signature piece to everyday companion&mdash;tied together by a staged presentation of the movement in the service of legibility.
<ul>
<li>Agelocer Astronomer &mdash; &ldquo;Panoramic Moon Phase&rdquo;: expanded lunar display, sky-inspired dials, decorative proposition aimed at urban daily wear.</li>
<li>Agelocer Schwarzwald &mdash; Two-sided skeletonization, worked plates/dials, a pursuit of depth and shadow.</li>
<li>Agelocer Universal Time &mdash; World-time-style reading with cartography and informative chapter ring, travel-minded.</li>
<li>Agelocer Volcano &mdash; Geological theme, mineral textures and tones, sharper volumes.</li>
<li>Agelocer Tourbillon &mdash; &ldquo;Ice Never Melting&rdquo; sapphire builds (full transparency) and open-worked takes: the brand&rsquo;s quintessential showpieces.</li>
<li>Agelocer Budapest &mdash; Variants with power-reserve display and gradient dials.</li>
</ul>
<h3>&ldquo;Self-developed&rdquo; calibres vs. Hangzhou bases: what we can (and can&rsquo;t) confirm</h3>
The company promotes &ldquo;independent&rdquo; movements (e.g., A4610) and in-house labels, but enthusiast and technical analyses point to proximity with Hangzhou 7-series bases in architecture and spec; as such, public evidence suggests more of an integration/modification of existing bases than a fully documented ground-up development.
In practice, these engines remain suitable for daily use (modern beat rates, comfortable power reserves, serviceability via independent networks); the buyer&rsquo;s task is to assess regulation consistency, parts availability and perceived assembly quality (hand setting, centering, cleanliness), because reliability in the field hinges on build discipline as much as on the spec sheet.
<h3>Materials, finishing and ergonomics: sapphire, steels, clasps and lume</h3>
Cases tend to be 316L steel, sometimes with surface treatments and sapphire elements (up to transparent cases/lugs on tourbillon variants), while dials chase relief (stylized guilloch&eacute;, cut-outs, sky textures) and straps rotate among steel, leather and rubber; ergonomics aim for a natural bracelet drop and crisp reading under varied lighting.
Luminous systems (Super-LumiNova, faceted markers, hand/dial contrast) support quick reading, and micro-adjust clasps on some references handle intraday changes; do mind overall height and lug-to-lug on more architectural pieces&mdash;success here depends on a precise fit between perceived volume and wrist size.
<h3>Digital distribution, official online storefronts and warranties</h3>
Agelocer mixes a brand site with several official channels (JD.com, Tmall, Amazon, Shoplazza) to cover markets while routing service (returns, stated warranty) through these platforms; this D2C/marketplace blend improves access but requires buyers to verify seller origin and terms so they preserve a clear paper trail tying serial, invoice and service coverage.
Event-type series and campaigns (e.g., &ldquo;Ice Never Melting&rdquo; sapphire tourbillon), sometimes pre-launched, reward tracking availability windows and reading product sheets closely (thickness, WR, crystal, inserts), since perceived quality can shift on details you won&rsquo;t see on a phone screen, making a careful spec and macro-photo check well worth it.
<h3>Positioning, pricing and the secondary market: value in use over aura</h3>
The stance targets buyers drawn to mechanical display and visual drama, with pricing rising alongside visual complexity (open-work, skeletonizing) and stated complication (large moonphase, tourbillon); exact public ranges aren&rsquo;t stabilized (not disclosed), so perceived value rests primarily on how it feels and performs on the wrist.
On the pre-owned side, attention clusters around the most narrative runs (astronomy, sapphire, collabs); lacking a long-standing resale ecosystem, it&rsquo;s wise to think &ldquo;total cost of ownership&rdquo; (service, generic parts availability) and to prioritize in-person inspection, because much of the value lies in real build discipline and actual cosmetic condition.
<h3>Buying guidance for an Agelocer</h3>
Start with use: statement piece (tourbillon, open-work) or versatile companion (Astronomer, Universal Time); then check perceived dimensions (cuff height, curvature, lug span), day/night readability and clasp ergonomics, keeping a sharp eye on the balance between visual presence and lasting comfort.
<ul>
<li>Favor an in-person try-on or detailed returns (thickness, crystal dome, reflections).</li>
<li>Check hand/index alignment and sweep regularity via macro images.</li>
<li>Ask for precise calibre info (reference, frequency, reserve).</li>
<li>Match strap to context: steel (versatility), rubber (humidity), leather (office).</li>
</ul>
Finally, plan for upkeep: periodic pressure tests, service by use profile and bracelet screw/pin checks&mdash;the simple routines that determine lifespan and satisfaction&mdash;because the right watch is one that imposes no friction in daily life.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Agelocer suits enthusiasts who want expressive pieces rich in visible mechanics without chasing traditional heritage collecting. You recognize the brand by &ldquo;spectacle&rdquo; dials, skeletonized layouts and decorative-first complications. To decide, start from real use and validate comfort, then weigh visual impact against easy wear. Lastly, cross-check your shortlist with Dialicious customer reviews to keep the decision grounded over time.

AGELOCER Budapest Big Date: A Combination of Elegance and Mechanics

The Agelocer Budapest Big Date watch is an automatic mechanical piece from the Budapest collection, inspired by modern architecture. It combines refined aesthetics with robust technical features.

Design and Finishing
The case is made of 316L stainless steel and features classic dimensions for a dress watch: a diameter of 40 mm and a thickness of 10 mm. The watch is fitted with a synthetic sapphire crystal to protect the dial.

The design focuses on the open-window Big Date display, which is the focal point for reading the time. The dial is presented in colors with a gradient (smoked) effect, such as blue or black. The caseback is transparent, providing a view of the movement.

Movement and Performance
The Budapest Big Date is powered by the Caliber A4610 automatic mechanical movement, developed by Agelocer. This caliber is distinguished by a substantial 80-hour power reserve and a frequency of 28,800 vibrations per hour (4 Hz).
The movement benefits from high-quality decoration, including watchmaking finishes such as Côtes de Genève, sunburst patterns, polished chamfers, and blued screws. Water resistance is set at 50 meters (5 ATM).

Bracelet Options and Price
The watch is available with an Italian cowhide leather strap or 316L stainless steel.
The Agelocer Budapest Big Date watch is priced at €179.

La marque&nbsp;Serica a &eacute;t&eacute; cr&eacute;&eacute;e en 2019 par J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Burget et 3 amis &agrave; Paris, en France. Le nom Serica vient d'une r&eacute;gion perdue au bout de l'Extr&ecirc;me-Orient que les Grecs et les Romains avaient baptis&eacute;e ainsi. Ce lieu fait &eacute;cho &agrave; la gen&egrave;se de la marque, qui vise &agrave; concevoir des montres m&eacute;caniques de qualit&eacute; au style n&eacute;or&eacute;tro, pr&ecirc;tes &agrave; vous suivre aux confins du monde.

<h2>Quel est le prix d'une montre Serica ?</h2>

(Mise &agrave; jour Novembre 2024)

The brand Serica was created in 2019 by J&eacute;r&ocirc;me Burget and 3 friends in Paris, France. The name Serica comes from a lost region at the end of the Far East that the Greeks and Romans named it like this. This place echoes the genesis of the brand, which aims to design quality mechanical watches in a neo-retro style, ready to follow you to the ends of the world.
The range includes watches such as the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/4512">Serica 4512</a>, the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/5303">Serica 5303</a> and the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/8315">Serica 8315</a>. One of the particularities of this brand is that its name does not appear anywhere on the dial, in order to encourage the enthusiast to buy a design, finishes and proportions, and not just a name. In July 2023, Serica launched the Serica 5303 COSC, a chronometer version certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute.
The&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">Serica 6190</a> surfing on the bases of the brand's first reference, the Serica 4512. This 6190 follows the stylistic codes of the brand, lyre lugs, a choice of different dials and the possibility of choosing the position of the crown at 3 o'clock or at &ldquo;Destro&rdquo; mode at 9 o&rsquo;clock. This Serica 6190 is powered with the Soprod M100 caliber COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Certification) certified, like the current productions of the other 5303 and 8315 models.&nbsp;
Since November 21, 2024, Serica has been offering a very daring new collection... A dress watch off the beaten track called &ldquo;Parade&rdquo; under the reference 1174. These 4 figures, like all other Serica references, offer a symbolism derived from the golden number or divine proportions whose ratio between length and width is 1.174... A novelty offered for pre-order at &euro; 1,490 for one delivery planned for March 2025...
<h2 dir="ltr">How much does a Serica watch cost?</h2>
The prices of Serica watches change and differ depending on the model. Most cost between &euro; 990 and &euro; 1,890 depending on the models and finishes. The brand's GMT model, Serica 8315 GMT Chronometer costs &euro; 1,890 while the latest model launched by Serica, the reference&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/serica/6190">6190</a> is offered to &euro; 990.
Serica is independent and produces around 5,000 watches per year, all models combined. Serica is part of the&nbsp;<a href="https://preprod.dialicious.com/en/top/the_best_french_watch_brands">Top 10 most popular French watch brands</a>, as well as&nbsp;<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/top/the_best_micro_watch_brands">ranking the best micro watch brands</a>.
