Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

After falling in love with it the moment it was released on social media, this reissue of Seiko's iconic 80s watch just wouldn't leave my mind! Without hesitation, I headed straight to the Seiko store on the day of its release to try them on with my daughter. The beauty of watchmaking? Sharing your passion? That's exactly what I did that day with my 21-month-old daughter, who chose the three colors for me (and it wasn't the one I had originally picked). A sweet little story that I'll remember every time I wear it.
Okay, so what about the watch itself, you ask? It's super fun, with a very easy-to-use rotating bezel, a bracelet with a finish that surpassed my expectations, and a secure clasp.

Back to 80's

My first foray into the world of Rolex with this Air-King 126900.

An extremely effective model that, in my humble opinion, is far too under-seen.

I love this black lacquered dial; admittedly busy, but the touches of yellow and green make it a unique model in the Rolex catalog.
If I had to recommend Rolex for the next Air-King? Let's be bold and go for a 39mm instead of the current 40mm 😊

The Rolex that doesn't get enough attention!

My summer 2025 watch with this orange guilloché dial that pops in the sun!

When the collaboration between the young brand Omnis and the Flyback podcast, which I regularly follow, was announced, I didn't hesitate for long and quickly clicked to get one of the 50 produced.

Just fun, no hassle, everything we love.

Guillochage at a great price!

Resulting from a collaboration with the artist Seconde Seconde, this Q Reissue model proudly displays the colors of the Marvel hero Hulk.

I love the format of the basic Reissue and the little details added by the collaboration are very nice, especially this dot-shaped second hand.

Bought for the superhero symbol and received the day after my daughter's birth, this watch will forever remain in my collection.

Hoping that one day she will be able to wear it herself and remember all the wonderful times we have had and will continue to have together!

Forever my first dad watch!

I'm not going to dwell on the specs of this watch seen and reviewed, because others would do it better than me!

Watch shared with wife since our engagement, it goes wonderfully from one wrist to another without flinching.

We love its timeless elegance with this design recognizable among 1000!

Timeless elegance

Looking for an el primero for a long time and after multiple searches, I came across this lesser-known version, the 146 heritage.

I love its contained diameter, its magnificent sunray blue dial and its two well-proportioned sub-counters.

A little extra detail, the small second at 9 o'clock which seems to float on the dial!

(Updated December 2023)

A recognizable case and different from what we usually see on divers. A very beautiful watch well finished, a very well integrated bracelet and a crown protector with visible screws very nice. On this Sellita version I would have preferred a solid back but I forgive it!

Oris strikes hard!

A very successful and original design, very marked nuances at the level of the superb sunburst dial and the ceramic bezel depending on the light (we go from a bright green in the sun to almost black in low light), a finish that is difficult to match at this price, extraordinary comfort on steel as on rubber, remarkable precision (+4s/day) for a SW200 base, a presence on the wrist that is astonishing without being massive... this diver has everything going for it and will make a wonderful Daily or travel partner.

Oris Acquis date 41.5

This watch is a bit special. In addition to being my first mechanical watch, the dial of the Aquis date upcycle is made of recycled plastic, which makes this watch almost unique and very personal. That's what made me fall in love when I saw it in a small built-in display case all to itself. Despite everything, I went to several stores and saw six models but no other dial was up to par. When I look at it, I see a painting and I never get tired of it. The "taupe" bezel adds this little dressy touch that balances the blue of the dial. The only small downside is that I had to bring the watch back a few days after purchasing it because it was moving forward by about 25 seconds per day. Too bad Oris didn't take the time to better regulate their calibers from the start... Anyway, now it works very well and I wear it almost every day! I recommend it!

a favorite

I have been to New York regularly. This multifaceted city is a place that suits me well where you can find quiet areas and the most lively places on the planet. The port of this city is a concentrate of these different atmospheres and one of my favorite places. Concerning the watch, it has many qualities apart from the links I have with New York. First of all its iridescent dial that changes color with each ray of sunshine. The indexes, the crown, the hands, the whole is remarkable and robust. The two bracelets suit it wonderfully well. In short, I bought this watch following a change of company also very linked to New York, for me it ticks all the boxes. If I had to find a fault with it, it might be its rubber bracelet which I find surprisingly less comfortable than steel.

A committed and efficient watch

My first diver. I was looking for a professional diver, present but not too imposing, with a strong identity but from a recognized brand.
I found it at Oris, an independent brand conveying beautiful values.
Its dark blue sunray dial plays with the reflections of light. The 41.5 MM diameter ensures a beautiful presence on the wrist, but the short horns sit very well on my chicken wrist.
The Sellita SW200 caliber is a safe bet, a model of precision and reliability.
With its 300 meters of water resistance, it has the attributes of a professional, robust diving watch, which you can wear in many circumstances, whether in its natural element or at the office, because it also knows how to be smart.

The beautiful blue

This model caught my eye. I was looking for a robust, sporty watch with a beautiful dial. I was seduced by its smoky green (evolving into black at the edges). Its bezel and strap feature a poly-mirror surface, making it shiny and elegant. Its 13 mm thickness gives it a robust feel. The watch is overall very well finished, and I chose this model because of the 10-year warranty and the incredible promises of this new caliber. It competed with the Longines Hydroconquest and the Tudor BB58.
I tried it on in a store and then ordered it online.
Its only flaw is comfort; over time, I find the weight of the case unbalanced compared to the strap, becoming a little uncomfortable at the end of the day.

Elegant and sporty
