The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

Iconic watch art prints. Made in Switzerland, lifetime guarantee

As soon as it came out, this special edition had really caught my eye with its unique appearance, far from the somewhat flashy appearance of the standard 300M. On the other hand, the disproportionate additional cost had really cooled me down and put me off the model... until I tried it. And there, thanks to the magic of titanium in particular, it was the one! The royal comfort and the multitude of small details make the difference and bring a real renewal to the range. In use, it is my main watch, I like its unique personality, all discretion, almost stealthy, perfectly in line with the job of spy! On this subject, the connection with 007 is nice but is fortunately secondary and is forgotten, we are not dealing with a marketing goodie but a well-thought-out and accomplished product. The only downside I find with the piece is its readability which can be at fault depending on the conditions. The skeleton hands sometimes get lost in the dial, the domed glass lacks anti-reflective coating and the nighttime luminosity is initially very pretty but lacks sparkle and, above all, duration.

New blood

The inspirations of this Baltic chrono are obvious but it is so well done! Case, dial, glass, bezel, pushers… everything is perfectly proportioned and unfailingly hits the mark when you are fond of old muscular cars, with hints of rubber and burnt oil. In addition to the design, the watch is technically impeccable, precise and comfortable to handle. It can accommodate many leather straps but its flatlink suits it so well and plays so pleasantly with the light that it is difficult not to leave it in place. Just one small flaw, this strap likes hair a little too much; here the homage to old watches is perhaps pushed a little too far…

Tricompax Reverse Panda

A rather modern watch in reality but the old Tissot logo and some attributes like the hands give it an undeniable vintage touch. The whole is very wise, with a minimalist base but the play of light on the many polished elements as well as the slightly pearly/pearl dial bring a little life and relief to the piece. The watch goes with many bracelets and has the ability to play the chameleon, as comfortable in a starred restaurant as in the local dive. The domed sapphire crystal accentuates this beautiful versatility thanks to its robustness and its ease of slipping under all sleeves. A timepiece that modestly but properly does the job in almost all situations… almost only because of the weak water resistance unfortunately limited to 3 ATM. Not prohibitive for this style of watch but still a little disappointing.

Fake vintage

Turini. Whether you're a cashier or a biker, this is an evocative name, an emblematic passage of the Monte-Carlo and a meeting place for bikers from all over Europe. Even if you don't have to buy into the slightly clumsy storytelling of MM. Carzo & Lieutier, you can't deny their sincerity. These Nice natives have a taste for stylish mechanics and the desire to transcribe their motorcycle world in their small production of watches.
Without being revolutionary, the result with this Turini is original and has character, especially with its brushed/satin-finished case in the shape of a circlip. The watch is quite small (less than 37 mm) but has a real presence on the wrist with its flat and stretched lugs, this questionable ergonomics is not the strong point but fully contributes to the personality of the piece. It is powered by a modest but effective Ronda quartz, because it is always practical to have one or two quartz in the collection...

Viroli

I have always admired the accuracy of the Type B design. However, I was not necessarily looking for a legitimate historical brand, not feeling the particular need to feel like a Luftwaffe pilot.
When I discovered the very particular finish of the case of this one, I fell for it. The gunmetal color microblasted standing out from the crowd, the generous crown, the number engraved on the side, these are the small details that made the difference with a lambda flieger. In addition, the quality of manufacture, the reassuring ETA 2824 and the magnificent bracelet are surprising given the very reasonable price.
The date window is a little out of place but remains discreet, and in any case it is not a purist's watch. The rest of the dial is distinguished by its exceptional readability, thank you to the original design. Readability that does not weaken in the dark as the hands are stuffed with Super-LumiNova, a real beacon. This cleanliness and shine clash with the aged case, not super coherent but it gives a style.
The low thickness of 11.8 mm makes it easy to slip the watch under a shirt sleeve (or bomber jacket). On the other hand, the 44 mm diameter, the 52 mm lug to lug length and the very flat profile are enough to put the chicken wrist team in PLS. To think that it also existed in 47 mm...

Aviator Steampunk

Pure Seiko, with qualities and defects characteristic of the brand.
The points that make you wince? The hardlex glass when you would like a sapphire, the movement of a very relative precision, the bracelet that gently smells of junk, without forgetting the misaligned bezel…
But hey, all this must be put into perspective with the advantages offered for the price, in particular incredible comfort for a watch of this size, it is also there that the bracelet takes its revenge by perfectly hugging the wrist, smoothly. The reduced lug-to-lug distance and the cushion case make it my most pleasant big watch to wear, only the significant weight is a handicap in this respect. The movement also has its say, not very refined but inspiring total confidence, a good tractor as they say. The sparkling luminescence is also there, as on any good Diver's of the brand.
In the end, one of my favorite watches… while I did not like the model too much before! The softness of the colours of this limited edition “Blue Lagoon” won me over, the intrinsic qualities of the watch finished convincing me.

Blue Lagoon

The Tissot brand was created in 1853 by Charles-F&eacute;licien Tissot and his son Charles-Emile in Le Locle in Switzerland. Since its creation, the brand has distinguished itself by offering a pocket watch indicating two time zones. As it developed, Tissot had to structure the house to focus on the export market and more particularly in Russia. Tissot is known for its innovation. She created the first antimagnetic watch in 1930 and the first automatic wristwatch displaying 24 time zones without manipulation in 1951.
In 1971, she also created a model made entirely of plastic, including its mechanical movement, the Tissot Astrolon. The brand positions itself in the mid-range and wants to offer quality at an affordable price. In the Tissot range we find flagship models such as the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/prx_powermatic_80"> Tissot PRX Powermatic 80</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/le_locle"> Tissot Le Locle</a>, the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/telemeter_1938">Tissot Telemeter 1938</a>, the<a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/v8_swissmatic"> Tissot V8 Swissmatic</a> or even the <a href="https://www.dialicious.com/en/tissot/seastar">Tissot Seastar</a>.

The Heritage Visodate is one of the Swiss brand's most popular watches, with its simple dial, prominent date display, and tapered case. However, it wasn't until I discovered the original Visodate Automatic from the 1950s and 1960s that I finally understood this model.

I discovered this reference in a childhood friend's collection. Among the watches from the great brands, his little Tissot emanated something special, and I had to have one. Now I have, and we share a second model in our respective collections.

It's a 34 mm diameter watch, made of 18 kt gold, with a Tissot-Omega automatic movement and a very well-crafted case, with interesting surface effects, a tapered case middle, and discreet brushing on the side of the lugs. The refined dial highlights the model's flagship complication: the date.

This watch is both simple and complex, because everything is in the detail and balance of its design. Objectively speaking (no), it is sublime.
A gold watch from a historic brand, with exemplary workmanship and a quality movement, it's a gem just waiting to be discovered.

Movement: 28.5R-621 (automatic, joint design by Tissot and Omega)
Material: Gold (750/1000)
Crystal: Highly domed acrylic
Case back: Solid

A real nugget... of gold!

Simple, elegant with a look capable of crossing the ages, it is pleasant on the wrist although the bracelet provided by the brand is not in my opinion of excellent quality. It is light and discreet with its silver dial and its applied and faceted indexes it looks a bit like a ghost type watch with the exception of the color obviously and yet in the light the reflections of the indexes, hands and polished case reveal another face. It flamboyant and dresses the wrist effectively. Its visible oscillating weight and coated with a gold PVD as well as its folding clasp Finish making it a dress watch with excellent value for money.
