The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

And here is a little design that makes me feel more than 40 years younger, quartz and digital are then invading the market and the 10-year-old kid that I was had of course learned to count but questions of hands.... what is that? LOL
That's when I received a model almost similar to this one with an open window on a rotating disk and which "gave" the time in a more subtle way than the simple digital dial. Certainly less precise but already the evocation of time passing.
So a little return to childhood with this Siboni Créative just for the pleasure of thinking back to those first watchmaking moments when I already didn't want to wear the same thing as my friends.
With its Milanese bracelet and without lugs it clearly asserts its retro origins.
I will only wear it on rare occasions, for fun only but I am happy that it joins my eclectic collection.

Back to 1979 or almost!

Wearing infinity on your wrist? That's what Venezianico claims in this new version of its classic Redentore model in the UltraBlack version. And I have to say that I think the promise has been kept!
The dial covered in Musou Black paint absorbs 99.4% of the light. It's hard to see it in the photos, but this deep black has a beautiful effect on the wrist. The absence of indexes also contributes to this effect, only the elegant logo at noon is present on the dial.
I chose the 40mm case (it also exists in 36mm), as well as the black calfskin strap and signed pin buckle (you can add a steel strap with a folding clasp, but that must significantly change the overall effect of the model).
On the back a beautiful engraving that represents space and its immensity, we will also note that the crown is signed with the brand logo which takes up the cross present at the top of the large clock on the "San Marco" square.
It is of course not a watch for every day, but it should not be restricted to only a tuxedo, it has its place on multiple occasions and allows you to engage in conversation with enthusiasts or the curious!


Black is Black

Second watch from this quality Chinese brand that enters my collection after the Blue Planet.
I was attracted of course by the design proposal and by this evolution of the original model which is now presented in titanium.
Several small details explain the reasons why it won the "German Design Award" in 2020, such as the shape of the case which is "skeleton" on the sides with the 4 decorative screws, of course on its dial and the technical hands with red details. The brand name is repeated on the left side and on the right side we have a crown protector that fits very well.
All this in a finally contained case of 41x48mm (almost without lugs) which sits well on my 17.5cm wrist and a special mention for the thickness of 12.4mm (rare on this type of model). Sapphire crystal perfectly integrated into the case
Of course it is very light with its 53g, so it sometimes takes a little time to adapt, but in the end it is rather pleasant.
Delivered with 2 bracelets that allow it to radically change style, the orange rubber (very good quality) being very sporty and the black leather (of quite good quality) on the contrary rather chic.
Only regret the 3 ATM, but it is not too annoying either, you just have to think about it especially when you wear it with the rubber.
If you like this design, let yourself be tempted by this model which is often offered at prices below €400

Skelethon & Titanium

After a "wish" expressed at the Salon Vendôme and 3 years of waiting, this latest addition to my collection arrived on my birthday! Sportier than my Nautilus, this steel model with tropical bracelet is very comfortable to wear and will soon accompany me on trips to use its "travel time" function which displays a second hour hand to remind me of the time at "home". The two buttons on the left of the case allow this adjustment in order to advance or retreat the time and thus not lose the day/night indication which is present at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock. Finally, the date is at 6 o'clock in a dedicated counter. Very beautiful finishes as always at Patek, both on the polished case and the brushed bezel. The PP-stamped movement is visible and also gives pride of place to the gold rotor. Finally, the bracelet is fitted with a butterfly folding clasp with a logo and perfectly adjusted. An old proverb says that patience is the key to joy, and right now I'm the happiest person in the world!

Patek Frequent Traveller 

An exceptional model for a unique occasion, my 50th birthday. It was well before the craze that recently took hold around these models and I was able to acquire this timepiece from the Patek Vendôme Salon with a very professional background and a more than reasonable waiting time because at the time the rose gold version was not in great demand for this more sporty than dressy world, basically. Very fine and harmonious, a bracelet with a comfort never found elsewhere and this brown dial that reflects the light in 1000 ways. It is by far the most beautiful piece in my collection and I try to wear it as soon as an occasion arises because it is immediately recognized and allows you to start a discussion with fans.

Precious Nautilus

Inspiration, homage, copy, I won't get into this quarrel... but here is what pushed me to take the plunge on this model: to add or not a skeleton model to my collection, and this crucial question of course came during confinement. So what could be more natural than to test the skeleton "style" for a small price. My choice therefore fell on this model with a 43mm case for 13mm thickness, sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel. Transparent back and skeletonized oscillating weight as well. It kept all its promises for a budget in only two figures. The power reserve given for 3 days is around 60 hours and I tested the 10 ATM announced in the swimming pool, the screwed crown did the job well. It is robust and the oyster bracelet as well as the clasp are of quality. I enjoy wearing it on occasion and I find that it has its place in the variety of models in my collection. Finally to finish this allowed me to answer the initial question on skeleton or not skeleton, and well there won't be any others I think (of skeleton, because I then acquired a second Pagani... you can't change your ways!=

Artisans of Guangdong

Boucheron is a Parisian high jewelry and watchmaking house founded in 1858 by Fr&eacute;d&eacute;ric Boucheron; while its fame was built on audacious jewelry, the brand has developed a distinctive jeweler&rsquo;s watchmaking since the 20th century&mdash;from the fluted rectangle of the Reflet to m&eacute;tiers d&rsquo;art dials&mdash;addressing wearers who value style, craft, and comfortable daily elegance.
<h3>From the Palais-Royal to Place Vend&ocirc;me: historical markers and a Parisian anchor</h3>
The house was born under the Palais-Royal arcades and, in 1893, opened on Place Vend&ocirc;me where it still resides, establishing volumes, gadroons and cabochons that would later feed its watches, and this Vend&ocirc;me anchoring remains a lasting identity marker.
Across the 20th century, the workshops translated jewelry techniques&mdash;stone setting, openwork, marquetry of materials&mdash;into watchmaking to create jewelry-watches built around clear readouts and controlled decoration, and this &ldquo;jewelry first, instrument second&rdquo; stance carves out a singular place within Parisian luxury.
The post-war decades delivered a true house grammar with the 1947 Reflet silhouette, while the contemporary era consolidated families such as &Eacute;pure, Serpent Boh&egrave;me, Ajour&eacute;e and Quatre, and this aesthetic continuity lets one recognise the brand at a glance without loud logos.
<h3>Reflet (1947): fluted rectangle, hidden clasp and quick-change straps</h3>
Created in 1947, the Boucheron Reflet set a fluted-sided rectangle with a curved crystal and a concealed attachment system that lets the strap slide beneath the case; the object reads as one continuous ribbon, hugs the wrist and champions fluidity, and this &ldquo;watch-as-ribbon&rdquo; idea explains much of its cross-generational success.
Reflet has modernised without losing its codes: godron borders, alternating finishes, small or large cases, steel, gold or jeweled, quick-change straps in leather, satin, textile or mesh, and the instant strap switch refreshes style without diluting identity.
Dials keep legibility front and centre (two or three hands, occasional date) with sober numerals and, depending on series, a discreet signature cartouche, while high-jewelry variants add diamonds and coloured stones yet respect the rectangle&rsquo;s purity, and the whole package claims practical elegance over spectacle.
<ul>
<li>Boucheron Reflet &mdash; fluted rectangle, invisible attachment, interchangeable straps.</li>
<li>Boucheron Reflet Large &mdash; stronger wrist presence; steel/gold and jewelled executions.</li>
<li>Boucheron Reflet Small &mdash; compact jewel-like take, clean or pav&eacute; dials.</li>
</ul>
<h3>&Eacute;pure, Serpent Boh&egrave;me, Quatre, Ajour&eacute;e: contemporary families and uses</h3>
Launched in the early 2010s, Boucheron &Eacute;pure embodies a minimalist round that puts light at centre stage (pared-back dials, fine markers) while housing Swiss mechanical movements on select references, and it appeals to those wanting a discreet city watch whose details reveal the craft.
The Boucheron Serpent Boh&egrave;me collection translates the house&rsquo;s iconic drop-shaped serpent motif into feminine watches with supple design, slim bracelets, mother-of-pearl or pav&eacute; dials, and it unites jewellery and time with a softly sensual, everyday wearability.
With Boucheron Quatre, the brand brings its four signature rings (grosgrain, clou de Paris, double gadroon, mirror) onto bezels, links or dial textures, shaping a graphic jewelry-watch that speaks to design-minded wearers, and the result reads as much like an object of design as a timekeeper.
The Boucheron Ajour&eacute;e line explores lace-like dials that sculpt gold into panthers, peacocks, flowers or arabesques, often accented with diamonds and stones, and this openwork tradition reconnects with the maison&rsquo;s &ldquo;sculptures of light&rdquo; heritage.
<ul>
<li>Boucheron &Eacute;pure &mdash; minimalist round, refined details, selected mechanical references.</li>
<li>Boucheron Serpent Boh&egrave;me &mdash; feminine watches with drop motifs and jewelry bracelets.</li>
<li>Boucheron Quatre &mdash; heritage textures (grosgrain, clou de Paris, gadroons) turned into watch codes.</li>
<li>Boucheron Ajour&eacute;e &mdash; sculpted dials, gold lacework, animal or floral figurations.</li>
</ul>
<h3>M&eacute;tiers d&rsquo;art, movements and partnerships: a jeweler&rsquo;s watchmaking supported by Swiss know-how</h3>
So-called art pieces (Crazy Jungle, bestiary, feather, stone or mother-of-pearl marquetry) demonstrate the maison&rsquo;s and its partners&rsquo; mastery in staging the living on a few square centimetres, and this decorative virtuosity is always deployed in service of legibility.
On selected Boucheron &Eacute;pure and high-jewelry references, the house has historically relied on automatic movements supplied by respected Swiss manufactures, often visible via sapphire backs, and this choice of reliable, well-finished engines aligns the jewel object with credible mechanics.
The jewelry&ndash;watchmaking fit also shows in case and dial finishing (applied markers, setting, micro-chamfers, alternating polishes) and in coherent water-resistance statements, and the intent remains to craft watches made to be worn as much as admired.
<h3>Positioning, pricing and distribution: Place Vend&ocirc;me, a boutique network and high jewelry</h3>
Within luxury&rsquo;s hierarchy, Boucheron watches sit in jeweller&rsquo;s watchmaking with prices that vary widely by metal, setting and series (from steel to fully paved high pieces), while some pricing is not disclosed outside boutiques, and buyers should reason by family, material and decoration rather than diameter alone.
Distribution relies on the house&rsquo;s global boutique network, Place Vend&ocirc;me as flagship, and market-dependent e-commerce, alongside after-sales capabilities for maintenance and sizing, and this footprint supports the longevity expected of such objects.
Beyond products, Boucheron&rsquo;s universe&mdash;contemporary creative direction, Carte Blanche collections, material experimentation&mdash;filters into watchmaking through textures, colours and light effects seldom seen in series watches, and this jewelry&ndash;time dialogue is the maison&rsquo;s signature.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Boucheron delivers jeweler&rsquo;s watchmaking you recognise instantly: the Reflet&rsquo;s fluted rectangle, &Eacute;pure&rsquo;s calm round, Ajour&eacute;e&rsquo;s openwork lace, Serpent Boh&egrave;me&rsquo;s sensual drops. The families span elegant daily wear to formal showpieces, always prioritising light and comfort. To decide, begin with use case, then tune metal and strap, and finally validate perceived size and one-metre legibility. To align these cues with lived owner feedback over time, a practical compass remains Dialicious customer reviews.

This Mec is my first "real" dress watch on a beautiful gold case whose shape is not common. Indeed we could summarize it by saying that it is barrel-shaped, but in my opinion it is a small shortcut when we observe it much more closely with its horns in continuity and a very pronounced curve. The black embossed dial is adorned with gold indexes applied with a very beautiful calligraphy, the date at 4:30 is well integrated. The crown is also well worked and signed with the B of the brand. The case back is transparent revealing the movement and the balance wheel also signed and decorated with the Vendôme column. The crocodile strap is "almost integrated" at the level of the horns and its folding clasp is signed on both sides. Without being only the watch for special occasions its style is not for every day and I always enjoy wearing it because of its comfort and its atypical design.

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.

(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>.
