The must-have Macro Loupe for all watch lovers

🇫🇷 PEQUIGNET Attitude 39 mm Viper — the luxury of French precision.

Today, I'm talking about a watch that holds a very special place in my collection: the PEQUIGNET Attitude 39 mm, certified Viper by the Besançon Observatory.

An exclusive piece, limited to just 50 examples worldwide, entirely handcrafted.

At first glance, it's the very definition of elegance:

an opaline white dial, which at times takes on delicate vanilla hues, an alligator strap, and a folding clasp adorned with the fleur-de-lis. The crown, engraved with the same symbol, underscores its 100% French identity.

Simplicity, balance, efficiency.

Beneath this refinement lies an exceptional movement: the Initial® manufacture caliber, designed and assembled in Morteau.

• Power reserve: 65 hours

• Frequency: 4 Hz (28,800 vibrations/hour)

• Bidirectional winding and stop-seconds function

• Water resistance: 50 m

• Sapphire crystal case back revealing the beauty of the in-house movement

And the accuracy? Simply remarkable: less than one second of deviation per day. A French mechanical watch with such precision is extremely rare.

But this watch is not just about performance.

Its Viper 🐍 certification, awarded by the Besançon Observatory, makes it a truly exceptional chronometer.
Only 50 watches in the world bear this hallmark, obtained after 15 days of testing in 5 positions and at 3 temperatures (8°, 23°, 38°C).

Seven accuracy criteria are evaluated, including average rate, stability, thermal resistance, and timekeeping efficiency.

Each validated watch receives an individual performance certificate, a symbol of absolute excellence.

I acquired it at Bijouterie Clouzeau in Pithiviers (45), from Stéphane, a true enthusiast and ambassador for the PEQUIGNET brand.

This encounter transformed into a genuine initiation into French watchmaking.

And in a way, I believe this watch marks a turning point in my horological quest.

Perhaps the end of a simple search for objects and the beginning of a deeper, more authentic exploration, made up of sensations, expertise, and human stories.

A natural transition towards a more sincere, more vibrant form of watchmaking.

👉 The Pequignet Attitude is much more than a timepiece: it's a state of mind, an emotion, an experience. 🇫🇷

✨ TUDOR Black Bay Harrods – London's exclusive diver's watch ✨

Today, I'm talking to you about a very special piece from my collection: the Tudor Black Bay 41 mm – Harrods Edition.
A watch that can only be found in London, in the legendary Harrods store, and which perfectly embodies the Tudor DNA.

🔹 Technology and Performance
• 41 mm case, water-resistant to 200 meters, faithful to the spirit of Tudor divers.
• Chronometer-certified manufacture movement, robust and precise.
• Harrods green aluminum bezel, with that unique khaki tone that makes all the difference.
• Iconic "snowflake" hand, with a green tip, in harmony with the 200 m inscription on the dial.
• Indexes and hands treated with Super-LumiNova, for perfect readability, even at depths.

🔹 An exclusive design
Its slightly grayed black dial blends perfectly with this unique touch of green, recalling the Harrods identity. It's a watch that asserts its character, without having anything to envy from its cousin, the Submariner.

🔹 An acknowledged drawback
At 14.7 mm thick, the Black Bay Harrods can seem a little bulky. But mounted on the 5-link "grain of rice" bracelet of my 41 mm Black Bay Chronomètre pink, the balance changes completely: the watch gains in comfort, elegance, and presence.

💬 The Black Bay Harrods is a piece of modern Tudor history, a watch for enthusiasts, rare, elegant, and full of personality.

🌏 Rolex GMT-Master II “Bruce Wayne” – Two-tone elegance on the wrist 🌎

There are watches that go beyond their utilitarian function to become legendary. The Rolex GMT-Master II is one of them: a watch born in the sky, designed for pilots, adopted by travelers, and now reinvented in a new and elegant version, the “Bruce Wayne,” with its black and gray ceramic bezel.

A watch born to conquer the skies ✈️

The story of the GMT-Master begins in 1955. At that time, intercontinental flights were booming with the growth of the American airline Pan American World Airways (Pan Am). Pilots had to juggle between local time and the time at their home base. Pan Am then asked Rolex to design a watch capable of displaying two time zones simultaneously.

Rolex responded with the GMT-Master, featuring a 24-hour hand and a two-tone rotating bezel. A precise navigation tool, it quickly became a benchmark for pilots, globetrotters, businessmen, and adventurers.

From the GMT to the GMT-Master II

In the 1980s, Rolex perfected its model with the launch of the GMT-Master II. The innovation: the ability to set the local time hand independently of the others. A revolution for travelers, who could thus track three time zones if necessary.

Over time, each bezel variation became iconic: the red and blue "Pepsi," the black and blue "Batman," the brown and black "Root Beer"... And today, the "Bruce Wayne," a more understated but equally charismatic interpretation.

The “Bruce Wayne”: Understated and Elegant

This new model captivates with its black and gray Cerachrom ceramic bezel. Deep black dominates the upper part, while light gray illuminates the lower part. This contrast gives the watch a rare elegance, less flamboyant than its colored counterparts, yet irresistibly modern.

The scratch-resistant and unalterable ceramic bezel reflects Rolex's technological mastery: the engraved numerals retain perfect legibility, and the tones remain intact over time and UV rays.

An Iconic and Refined Design

The 40 mm Oyster case embodies the perfect balance between robustness and comfort. Water-resistant to 100 meters, it offers ideal protection for a travel watch, designed to accompany its owner anywhere in the world.

The Oyster bracelet, with alternating polished and brushed links, adds both brilliance and solidity. It gives the watch a strong visual presence, sometimes a little shiny, but always elegant. This play of light underlines the versatile character of the GMT-Master II: both sporty and chic.

Technical Signatures

On the wrist, it's impossible not to notice:
• the green "GMT-Master II" inscription, a subtle nod that energizes the dial,
• the green GMT hand with a triangular tip, inherited from previous generations,
• the indexes and hands filled with Chromalight for optimal readability even in the dark.

Under the hood, we find the caliber 3285, a state-of-the-art manufacture movement. With a 70-hour power reserve, certified chronometric precision, and the robustness of a blue Parachrom hairspring, it embodies Rolex reliability.

Conclusion: A new icon

The Rolex GMT-Master II "Bruce Wayne" is not just another variation. It is a watch that embraces an understated, almost mysterious elegance, while retaining its DNA as a professional instrument.

With its black and gray bezel, 40mm case water-resistant to 100 meters, polished and brushed Oyster bracelet, and iconic green signatures, it has already established itself as a contemporary icon. A piece that will appeal to both discerning travelers and passionate collectors.

It's a heritage watch, a watch of passion, and above all, a watch that confirms that the legend of the GMT-Master is still very much alive.

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?

🚴 Tudor Pelagos FXD Chronos Fabian Cancellara Edition – A tribute to Spartacus and elite cycling 🚴

There are watches that don't just tell the time. They embody a spirit, a story, a passion. The new Tudor Pelagos FXD Fabian Cancellara Edition 2025 is the perfect illustration. More than a watch, it's a vibrant tribute to one of the greatest champions in the history of modern cycling and to the debut of an ambitious team: Tudor Pro Cycling Team, which will compete in the Tour de France for the first time in 2025.

Fabian Cancellara, aka Spartacus

Fabian Cancellara, nicknamed "Spartacus" for his strength and determination, is a living cycling legend. A multiple world champion and two-time Olympic champion, he left his mark on his era with his spectacular victories in time trials and legendary classics such as Paris-Roubaix and the Tour of Flanders. Now retired from the peloton, he has lost none of his commitment: he now leads the Tudor Pro Cycling Team, a professional team that proudly flies the flag for the Swiss watch brand.

The special Pelagos FXD chrono edition dedicated to him celebrates this new adventure: the union of watchmaking precision and sporting performance.

A rare and exclusive edition

Produced in only 300 pieces worldwide, the Tudor Pelagos FXD Fabian Cancellara Edition promises to be a highly sought-after piece. Its exclusivity makes it a collector's item from the moment it is released. But beyond its rarity, it is its bold design and technical engineering that are so appealing.

Heritage and Reinvention

The watch captures the DNA of the original Pelagos FXD, designed in collaboration with the French Navy. This first version was designed as a true military tool watch, with strict specifications: robustness, reliability, readability, and resistance in all conditions.

The Fabian Cancellara edition retains this spirit but reinvents it for the world of cycling. Gone is the brushed titanium, replaced by a carbon case, which lightens the watch and gives it a resolutely modern look. With its 43 mm diameter, it maintains a strong presence on the wrist while offering the lightness sought after by athletes.

Unique Details for Cycling

The bezel, usually functional for diving, has been revisited with a design evoking the world of cycling and its codes. The chosen colors are a strong nod to the history of the Tour de France yellow jersey.

The NATO strap, meanwhile, is a key piece. Crafted by the Julien Faure workshops in Saint-Étienne, it sports the iconic black and yellow colors. This artisanal weave, a guarantee of comfort and durability, gives the watch a true identity, at the crossroads of watchmaking and sport.

Performance and Innovation

The Pelagos FXD Fabian Cancellara Edition is not only beautiful, it also performs. Water-resistant to 100 meters and equipped with a chronometer-certified manufacture movement, it offers exemplary precision and robustness suited to the demands of athletes. The lightness of the carbon combined with the comfort of the NATO strap makes it a watch you almost forget is on your wrist, until it catches your eye.

Tudor has endowed this piece with high-level technical features, with perfect readability and a design built to last. It embodies both the audacity and the spirit of conquest that drive the brand.

A tribute watch, a manifesto watch

This special edition is much more than a timepiece. It's a manifesto. It celebrates a champion, Fabian Cancellara, and marks his team's first participation in the 2025 Tour de France, a historic milestone for Tudor in the world of cycling.

By combining the military heritage of the Pelagos FXD with the sporting passion for cycling, Tudor offers a rare, bold watch deeply rooted in its time.

Conclusion

The Tudor Pelagos FXD Fabian Cancellara Edition is a watch that speaks to both watchmaking and cycling enthusiasts. With only 300 pieces produced, it stands out as a collector's item, but also as a symbol of performance and commitment.

Wearing it is not just a watch: it pays homage to "Spartacus," to the legend of a sport, and to a brand's commitment to constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation and passion.

🌊 Rolex Submariner 126610LV: Green Magic on the Wrist 🌊

There are watches that go beyond mere accessories. Pieces that tell a story, embody expertise, and become icons. The Rolex Submariner 126610LV is part of this very select circle. Today, I can finally say that it has found its place on my wrist, and it's a true joy to share this experience.

The Rolex Heritage

Created by Hans Wilsdorf, Rolex has become, over the course of a century, synonymous with watchmaking excellence. Technical innovation, timeless design, and unfailing reliability: each model bears a piece of this legend. The Submariner, launched in 1953, was the first diver's watch water-resistant to 100 meters. It paved the way for generations of adventurers, professional divers, and style enthusiasts.

The Submariner isn't just a watch: it's a cultural symbol. It's been seen on the wrists of divers exploring the depths, movie icons like James Bond, and discerning collectors who know it combines robustness and elegance.

A mesmerizing aesthetic

The 126610LV, sometimes nicknamed the "Starbucks" or the descendant of the famous "Kermit," takes this aesthetic even further. Its black dial shines as if capturing the sunlight at every moment. But the real magic is this green ceramic bezel. Rolex has given this color an unprecedented depth: sometimes dark, sometimes vibrant, sometimes even close to a luminous grass green. A play of color that makes it unique, almost alive.

Every look at this bezel is different. And that's where the Submariner LV seduces: it always surprises, it never tires.

Sporty and chic

What fascinates me about this Submariner is its dual nature. On the one hand, it's a true tool watch: 41 mm in diameter, guaranteed water resistance up to 300 meters, a unidirectional rotating bezel for measuring dive times, and the legendary brushed Oyster bracelet with its Glidelock clasp that allows for millimeter-accurate adjustments. It's a watch designed for professionals, for extreme situations.

On the other, it's a piece of rare elegance. Slim under a shirt, refined in all circumstances, it transitions from the underwater world to a formal dinner party without a hitch. Few watches manage to balance this great divide between pure sport and absolute chic.

Exemplary technical performance

Under its Oystersteel case beats the caliber 3235, a manufacture automatic movement that offers a 70-hour power reserve, formidable precision, and enhanced resistance to shocks and magnetic fields. The blue Parachrom hairspring, the Chronergy escapement, and the optimized architecture make it a reliable engine, designed to last.

Every technical detail exudes mastery: the Chromalight-filled indexes and hands ensure perfect readability in the dark, the scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, and the Triplock crown guarantees water resistance even in the most extreme conditions.

An Icon to Own

The Rolex Submariner 126610LV isn't just a watch you wear: it's a watch you live. Every moment spent with it on your wrist reminds you why it is one of the most sought-after watches on the market. It has that rare ability to blend emotion, heritage, and technology.

For the enthusiast in me, it's a must-have piece in any collection. A living icon, which speaks to watch enthusiasts and lovers of beautiful things alike. It is sporty, technical, but also refined and timeless.

Conclusion: A Watchmaking Bomb

It's difficult to put into words what you feel when you strap a Submariner LV to your wrist. It's a visual and emotional bomb. It captures the light, attracts attention, but above all, it inspires the wearer.

With the 126610LV, Rolex has created a watch that transcends time, retaining its identity while reinventing itself. For me, it's much more than an acquisition: it's a companion, a piece of life, a constant reminder that perfection sometimes exists... and that it's worn on the wrist.

The Green Magic Rolex Submariner 126610LV

<p dir="ltr">The brand <strong>Tudor</strong>, founded in <strong>1926</strong>, 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;<strong>Born To Dare</strong>&rdquo;.</p>
<h2 dir="ltr">History of the Tudor brand</h2>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The 1960s and 1970s were marked by the development of partnerships with professional organizations. <strong>Tudor watches have been chosen by the French Navy and the US Navy</strong>, 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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>

<p dir="ltr">(Updated September 2024)</p>

Since 1950, when TUDOR created one of the first modern professional diving watches, the brand has become the official supplier to the French Navy. With the Pelagos FXD model, with its fixed, very robust watch case lugs, TUDOR is renewing this historic collaboration.

TUDOR PELAGOS FXD 

I let myself be tempted by this Pelagos FXD, while I already own the classic Pelagos (which I will review one of these days). 
They share the lightness of the titanium material, the reliability and power reserve (70 hours) of the automatic movement, the dominant blue, and the incredible quality of the luminova. 
But it is really not the same watch! 
The blue of the FXD is less "artificial" than its big sister, a slightly deeper navy blue, more discreet, marrying very well with the gray of the titanium. 
No date, which is for me an advantage in terms of sobriety and balance. 
The bezel is bi-directional, which is very practical (especially for combat swimmers!). 
And above all the lugs are fixed, no pumps risking breaking. 
This of course limits the choice of strap (it's not really a Nato that comes with the watch, but it's very comfortable and well designed), and therefore this watch is intended more for everyday, sports, vacation, casual use, than for dress use.
Nice reminder on the case back of the partnership with the French Navy (and the vintage).
The quality of the luminova is such that you can easily read the time at the end of the night.
The watch is very pleasant to wear, between the lightness of the titanium and the possibility of adapting in 2 seconds the imitation Nato strap with velcro.
It's certainly a fairly recent purchase, but I have a hard time leaving it, and I feel that it will accompany me all summer and much more.
Another success from Tudor. We always wonder why pay double and wait 2 years for the cousin to the crown...


Tudor I love it!

A surprisingly practical watch, a very readable dial both day and night with its bi-directional bezel that can be used every day for daily activities.
Having served in the Navy, having the FXD Pelages Marine Nationale is a real tribute and pleasure and a strong emotion every time I wear it.

The perfect marine watch

Perfect readability, a sturdy and lightweight watch, a crazy charm… a history and military specifications. I haven’t taken it off for 6 months. It’s sublime. I was lucky enough to be able to acquire it at a Tudor pop-up store on vacation. I tried it on and bought it straight away. A favorite.

Hypnotic Blue

This watch is very comfortable to wear on the 2 bracelets provided with the purchase and particularly on the scratch bracelet. For sports, swimming, this is the watch I wear. The fixed lugs (FXD) are one of the reasons that guided me towards this purchase. It really stands out from the usual Tudor watches and in particular from the other Pelagos and BB58 that I see on everyone's wrists.

Simple, well designed watch.

When my AD offered me this watch, I immediately liked it because of its simplicity and the sobriety of the watch. For this diver, no mirror polish on the case and bracelet that make watches too flashy and too showy. No, a simple and effective design with a beautiful precise movement, I immediately liked this watch.

FXD dive watch that doesn't take itself seriously
