The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

It is always important to talk about the passions that drive us in life, it was by talking quite naturally with a customer that I was able to acquire this watch. What a joy to have found it! Not a watch that I was necessarily looking for but that I have always appreciated for its never copied side. It is so atypical and has a heart full of history, the magnificent El Primero. Its bracelet has incredible shapes and is of unequaled comfort, this watch in general makes you forget that it is 40 years old. It is from another time I find. A UFO, which was recognized thanks to the series of the time Miami Vice. This steel version is the most complicated to find. Let us not forget that Ebel was in direct competition at the time with ROLEX and many others. The emotion is there because of the fact of having a historical watch and with its very particular DNA.

A watch like no other, and yet it will remind you of some existing watches. I chose this purple because I wanted to give some pep to my collection in terms of colors. It's a first for me in this brand but I did well to trust given the quality represented on this watch. They had several colors to offer and this one caught my attention because for a watch under 1000 € it had this chic, elegant, even royal side. I like the work in a watch and this one is as much work on the bracelet, the dial and the case middle with polished brushed effects. It is very important not to be attracted only by brands or known houses and let our instinct and our true desires as enthusiasts act. And thanks to that we will draw on what is best for each one. I took the Sellita movement to make the hours and minutes hum.

I discovered this brand by chance, the fact that there is a low production really attracted me. In addition, Clément Gault gives this brand everything that can be appreciated in a professional watchmaker. Exclusivity, living the months of waiting with lots of adrenaline, having this 100% Swiss, being part of the adventure makes the adventure a unique moment. Incredible quality, a Chronode movement that already equips beautiful manufacturers, very well thought out proportions, packaging that does not exist anywhere. Its brushed polish is just fabulous. I hesitated a little with the Steel version but the bronze lives through time and gives it a unique patina. Unique like this manufacturer. Some will see Patek Philippe, I see a watch cut to be among the greats and it has its emotion and its character. It uses its best assets to make the reputation of this brand. Bravo. A successful watch is a watch that stands out and differentiates itself from the others.

The Underwater Adventure II

Speedmaster lover, I was electrified by this magnificent reissue of the CK2915, the first Speedmaster released in 1957. This chocolate dial, this 38.6 mm case with the proportions of that of the time, this anthological bracelet with old-fashioned buckle, its tritium-type indexes and hands take us back in time almost 70 years. The idea was to revive a myth, a legend, a know-how and an unrivaled visual. This '57 Trilogy is incredible to wear, 3557 copies were made. A big piece of history on the wrist and a very nice heritage allowing to revive a myth as if it came out of the DeLorean which would have been in the past in 1957 bringing it back from a jeweler in its full set. To have, to discover, to wear but not to let pass because the past is within reach of the wrist (or hand ..)

Welcome to a beautiful Japanese garden with this magnificent Ming. Equipped with a beautiful caliber 330M2 or also called Sellita SW330-2, it is assembled by the Schwartz-Étienne manufacture in Switzerland. This watch is unique, thanks to its 38mm neo vintage case, its rarity, its manufacturing quality, its hands which will allow you to read the time correctly. Depending on the light it offers you a wonderful spectacle as if you are traveling. This watch entered my collection thanks to this visual love at first sight and thanks to this wisdom integrated into the purity of its dial. A correct water resistance of 100 meters. A beautiful power reserve of 50 hours. A magnificent bracelet which is made by Jean Rousseau in Maris. I do not use the GMT. One word, Titanic (ah yes it is made of Titanium 😊), do not let your watch collection evolve without buying a Ming

Ming 22.01 GMT Kyoto

A Rolex discontinued in 2022 but which represents and will always represent grace, luxury, myth, heritage and Rolex elegance. It goes off the beaten track, they knew how to get out of their comfort zone. In my eyes, it is a gem. This Rose gold case, its dual time zone useful or not but it remains a superb complication, its hypnotic and warm airs, its day / night complication, its perfectly mastered guilloché, this Fluted bezel but not as usual, its perfect diameter of 39mm, its old-fashioned crown, everything is in harmony to represent a fabulous Must have in your collection. A word of advice from an enthusiast, do not hesitate to find one and buy it, it will be your pride and you will change the codes and preconceived ideas about Rolex where we always get used to the same models.

Rolex Cellini Dual Time Everose 

I found this watch by chance, it was for sale by a private individual, beyond the fact that it is an Omega, the Jacques Mayol edition immediately sent me back a few years with the film The Big Blue. I found these circles on the dial that fill up when you start the stopwatch very interesting. They turn red, each circle corresponds to 1 minute. It is called Apnea because Jacques Mayol is a professional freediver, we are really on a robust and solid Toolwatch. A pleasure purchase, which amazes more than one, it is little known and its dial changes color depending on the lights which sublimate it.

The Big Blue concentrated in a watch

<p dir="ltr">The Swiss watch brand <strong>Ebel</strong> has been synonymous with elegance, innovation and know-how for over a century. Founded in <strong>1911</strong> in La Chaux-de-Fonds by Eug&egrave;ne Blum and Alice L&eacute;vy, Ebel has distinguished itself with creations combining technical precision and refined aesthetics.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Origins and Foundation</h2>

<h2 dir="ltr">First Achievements and Recognition</h2>
<p dir="ltr">From its beginnings, Ebel stood out for the quality and originality of its watches.

It developed a distribution network around the world, particularly in the United States, thus increasing brand awareness. In the 1970s, under the leadership of Pierre-Alain Blum, grandson of the founders, Ebel experienced significant growth and produced watches for prestigious brands such as Cartier.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Design and Artistic Collaborations</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Ebel stands out for its artistic approach to watch design. The brand collaborates with renowned architects, including Le Corbusier, a native of La Chaux-de-Fonds, and in 1986 acquired the Villa Turque, an emblematic work of the architect, to celebrate its 75th anniversary. These collaborations reinforce Ebel's image as <strong>"Architects of Time"</strong>, merging art and watchmaking.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Iconic Collections</h2>
<p dir="ltr">Among Ebel's flagship collections, the <strong>Ebel Sport Classic</strong>, launched in 1977, is distinguished by its wavy link bracelet and sleek design, becoming an icon of the brand. The collection<strong> Ebel 1911</strong>, introduced in 1986 to celebrate the brand's 75th anniversary, pays homage to Ebel's heritage with models combining tradition and modernity.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">Recent Acquisitions and Developments</h2>
<p dir="ltr">In 1999, Ebel joined the LVMH group, strengthening its position in the luxury market. <strong>In 2004, the brand was acquired by the Movado Group</strong>, which continues to promote Ebel's heritage and know-how. Today, Ebel continues its quest for excellence by offering watches combining technical innovation and timeless design, thus perpetuating the vision of its founders.</p>
