Discover the 13 watches in the Le.spiral.du.temps collection

The term "icon" is often used, sometimes incorrectly, but here you'll agree that the Sub 300T, with its sunburst and silver dial, is a direct nod to the Sub 300T Conquistador tradition. The Sub tradition began with the Sub 300 in 1967, and soon afterward, in 1969, the Sub 300T was designed in collaboration with Claude Wesly, a member of Jacques-Yves Cousteau's crew. The new diver's watch boasted numerous innovations: case, crown, rotating bezel with its double scale, dial, hands, automatic movement with date, adjus…

The Eska brand, which disappeared in the 20th century, was revived by two entrepreneurs passionate about watchmaking. The idea was a good one and was shared by numerous YouTube channels. I admit I wasn't tempted by this Kickstarter with a Seiko movement, which I certainly like, but not at the price of 880 euros. A new edition was released in black with a Sellita, and the desire returned for a price around 1,000 euros. During the peak season, I fell for this smoked red version. I love the contrast of the indexes wit…

Having acquired this Tudor Black Bay at the very beginning of COVID, I had no idea I would spend so much time with it. This elegant watch is a tribute to 1958, hence the 58 in its brand name. After five years, I'm still crazy about its black dial with the railway, the indexes, the gold-colored hands, and its bezel with its red triangle at 12 o'clock. I added an extension that's the same as the easy link system at Rolex. It's the Steel Reef brand. My son has already put an option on this one... I'll give it a servic…

I was interested in the history of Formex and I was charmed by it. The Formex Essence Leggera is a light and elegant watch. Its carbon fiber case is topped with a ceramic bezel, a material that is also found on the signed crown. The green dial sports a "teak" pattern with the most beautiful effect. It knows how to remain discreet as well as play with the light to the point of having a syntillant emerald green. I chose the green leather which suits it perfectly. It comes with two strands to cover the points from 16…

The Seamaster Diver 300M is a watch that embodies elegance, robustness and precision. Its iconic design made famous by the James Bond license features a wavy ceramic dial reminiscent of ocean waves. The factory ceramic of this Seamaster constantly plays with light. It is a real pleasure to look at it. Its co-axial movement is of formidable precision. This Seamaster is elegant, precise and reliable. Its design with the unscrewable Helium valve at 10 o'clock will not please everyone and yet that is what makes it uniq…

Jacques Bianchi became a watchmaker in the 1950s. He learned his trade with watchmakers in the PACA region before settling in Marseille. His workshop grew in importance and brands such as Rolex and Omega entrusted him with repair contracts. Jacques Bianchi also rubbed shoulders with renowned divers such as Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Captain Albert Falco and members of COMEX. In the early 1980s, he created the JB200 (Jacques Bianchi) with the same case as the reissue offered on Kickstarter in 2021. The one from the 80s…

This is my first analog watch! I bought it in my last year of engineering school and it accompanied me to my first job. It was my daily for about ten years until I bought an Orient Bambino and my partner gave me my Longines Presence in 2010. This Swatch Irony Chrono reference CADMOS YCS409 is robust, elegant with its openwork hands that remind me of the Omega Seamaster Diver 300M, the chronograph hand has a look that reminds me of the Speedmaster.... The worm is in the apple. I like its matte black dial and the who…

I dreamed of having a Breitling Navitimer. I chose a new model because I wanted to have this 70-hour power reserve. I had the opportunity thanks to Godechot Pauliet to acquire this model. My choice was oriented towards the Breitling Navitimer B01 in 43 mm. It is equipped with a high-quality mechanical movement with automatic winding, the Breitling Caliber 01, which is entirely developed and manufactured by Breitling. This column chronograph movement is a guarantee of precision and reliability. This reliability is c…

This ZRC was born from Stéphane Clouzeau's wish to celebrate these 50 years with a collaboration with ZRC of which he is one of the ADs. This watch announced in July 2021 on the ZRC group's Facebook page was reserved by 48 people based on a photo of what it could be. In the end, it is a magnificent Grands Fonds 300 water-resistant to 1000m with a 4mm sapphire crystal and a chimney shape. This watch is unique with its dial featuring a beautiful light blue to abyssal blue gradient, unique red magnum hands on the edge…

This speedmaster is a dream come true 7 years ago. This chronograph is elegant and sporty at the same time. My omega is equipped with a hesalite glass and the manual mechanical caliber omega 1861. The power reserve is 46 to 48 hours and an accuracy of +3 seconds per day. My pleasure lies in winding the watch. I love to contemplate the dial, the design of the case and the dome of the hesalite glass. The history of the speedmaster and its selection by NASA shows how robust this watch is. It will be passed on to my so…
