The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

And what do I wear to mow the lawn? A G-Shock of course. Having a robust watch is a must in a collection. I like the creativity found in all G-Shcok models. There are real references to watchmaking. I chose this model because I wanted an analog display. This G-Shock offers the best of both worlds. Easy-to-read hands, and a digital display that completes the whole thing. I wear it without fear of scratching it, its khaki color reinforces the adventurer side. We hesitate, a gadget, a toy, a watch, a tool-match? A bit of all that, but it's essential, too.

Let's get to work!

Having an El Primero in my collection was a must. We won't go back over the question of whether it was really the first, but in any case, this movement has a history, as does the Zenith brand. And what a movement! More than 50 years later, it's still there. And seeing this hand go around the dial in 10 seconds, and offer you precision to the tenth, it's magical. I still had to choose the model equipped with this movement. This Chronomaster Sport is the first model I tried. And then I took the time to discover the range. Chronomaster Original, Revival, different colors, the Defy too. And then finally I came back to my first flash, this Sport model. I like the contrast of the white dial and the tones of the three sub-dials. The ceramic bezel reinforces this contrast and gives it this sporty character. It doesn't go unnoticed when you wear it, it attracts attention, not really a model to remain discreet. And so it is not worn in all circumstances. And then when you wear it in the middle of a group of watch enthusiasts, there is always one who will come and start the debate on the reference to the Daytona. And you can settle the question over a drink...

Indispensable The First

I have always appreciated the ORIS brand. They have a real watchmaking tradition and a strong identity. And certainly the best value for money on the market. I also like iconic models brought up to date. And that is exactly what this Big Crown Pointer Date corresponds to. This edition was proposed on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the model. A history, beautiful mechanics, a successful design, all the ingredients of a good watch.
We find its beautiful characteristics, the date pointer of course which makes it all the originality. Admire this little red touch which enriches the whole. Great art. The railway all around the dial, the cathedral hands, the easily readable numbers. And then bronze is a fantastic material for a case. It lives with you, it evolves.

Tradition and trust

Gran Seiko is known for its precision work, both in its movements and for its dials and polishing. It's elegant, it's classy, it's simply a job well done.
I was looking for a GMT watch, I wanted it with a clear dial, and then I discovered this model and I recognized myself in this watch. What a pleasure to look at the blue GMT hand, the mirrored indexes, the balance of the dial which gives off an impression of sobriety while it has many indications. Its movement visible through a very beautiful sapphire gives you confidence.
It's classy, quite simply.

Japanese elegance

We often associate the world of watches with that of automobiles, less with motorcycles. And this link, Carzo & Lieutier has made it, with success. We find multiple references to motorcycle mechanics on the case. See this bezel which recalls a throttle grip, the case in the shape of circlips, the crown in the shape of a hexagonal screw head. Saint-Luxeuil is the patron saint of bikers, so it brings me luck when I go for a ride.
And then this blue dial... probably the most beautiful blue I have seen on a watch.
Here is a French micro-brand that was able to create an original watch with a real story.

For the riders

I went into AD Tudor with the firm intention of buying a blue Pelogos, and I came out with this BB58. An immediate favorite. Its format, its perfect diameter of 39, the beauty of the dial, and then that je ne sais quoi that the red triangle at 12 o'clock brings to it. I can spend a long time looking at it, admiring it. I like to wear it on a NATO. It gives it a magnificent adventurer look.
There is also at Tudor this impression of quality and robustness that the case offers. When you turn the bezel, you have this impression of work well done just by hearing the click.
If there were only one left in my collection, it would probably be this one.

Love at first sight for the red triangle

The brand Tudor, founded in 1926, is the fruit of the vision of Hans Wilsdorf, also founder of Rolex. His ambition was to create a watch that would offer the reliability and quality of Rolex, but at a more affordable price. So, from the start, Tudor positions itself as a manufacturer of quality watches at more accessible prices than those of the Rolex brand. This extremely clear DNA allows Tudor to position itself on innovation illustrated by its brand signature: &ldquo;Born To Dare&rdquo;.
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Tudor brand</h2>
From the 1950s, Tudor began to forge its own identity, although still associated with Rolex. In 1954, the brand launched the Oyster Prince Submariner model, affirming its position in diving watches. This watch featured exceptional water resistance, making it particularly popular with professional divers and water sports enthusiasts.
The 1960s and 1970s were marked by the development of partnerships with professional organizations. Tudor watches have been chosen by the French Navy and the US Navy, attesting to their robustness and reliability. The launch of the Tudor Prince Oysterdate Chronograph model, more commonly known as the "Big Block", in the 1970s is another important milestone for the brand. It was the first automatic chronograph with a date, a technological feat for its time.
Since it was taken over by Rolex in 1936, Tudor focused until the 1970s on professional models from the Rolex professional collection. The 80s allowed the brand to begin to free itself from it without offering models that would mark history.

2012 is undoubtedly a year. Important in the history of the brand with the launch of the Tudor Heritage Black Bay which will become the spearhead of the brand with a successful identity and variations increasingly popular with watchmaking enthusiasts.
Today, Tudor is recognized as a brand in its own right, producing around 300,000 watches each year, most of which are certified COSC (Official Swiss Chronometer Testing) or METAS, an independent Swiss label created by the Federal Institute of Metrology.

A daily pleasure

This watch is sublime, I've been wearing it almost every day for a year and I never get tired of it.
Everything charms me about this watch: its design, its proportions, its history.
I have it on both Tudor bracelets: Steel & Fabric. Both suit it perfectly.
It is also very precise and despite the fact that it is a toolwatch with a sporty look, it has a dressy side because of its deep blue & silver accents.

So comforting

I chose this watch to celebrate a notable family event. I wanted a sober, versatile and timeless watch. I am won over, 2 years later it follows me everywhere, surfing, in the mountains, cycling, or in the evening, it delights me with its versatility. When I go on vacation and although I have a small collection, I never hesitate on which one will accompany me. The BB58 is my watch made for trips.

A watch that does everything

The Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 39mm is an ideal watch for all occasions.
It is a watch that is both sporty chic and discreet in everyday life.
What I like about this watch is its blue dial that changes color in bright sunlight.
It changes from blue to light gray, this watch can be worn whatever the outfit on a daily basis.

Classic among classics

TUDOR Black Bay 58 Burgundy Master Chronometer – The Icon Sublimated (2025)

There are watches that don't just make an impression: they captivate them. The all-new TUDOR Black Bay 58 Burgundy, version 2025, is clearly one of them.

Its dial is a visual enigma, oscillating between deep cherry, intense morello cherry, and sometimes even velvety black, depending on the light and angle. A lively, textured, almost organic dial. It gives this watch a soul, a magnetic presence that transcends the simple timepiece.

The 39.02 mm case remains faithful to the perfectly balanced proportions of the Black Bay 58, while offering an ultra-reduced thickness, very appreciable on the wrist. All of this is paired with a sumptuous five-link “grain of rice” bracelet, at once retro, technical, and remarkably comfortable. A true caress on the skin.

Technically, this watch is impressive. It is now Master Chronometer (METAS) certified, ensuring absolute chronometric precision, advanced antimagnetic resistance, and water resistance to 200 meters. It ticks all the boxes of a modern diver's watch... with added style.

And as is often the case with TUDOR, a discreet nod flatters enthusiasts: this BB58 Burgundy 2025 pays homage to a unique prototype from the 1990s, possibly reference 79180 or 79190, a secret but precious part of the brand's history.

In short?
Lunar. Crazy. Unfairly beautiful.
A watch that I fell in love with, a stroke of genius.

I fell in love. And you?
