ROLEX,
30 minutes on the wrist,
Baselworld 2019,

Grand Seiko,
30 minutes on the wrist,
Baselworld 2019,
Some items make an impression as soon as they come out, and we instantly perceive them as pure and proportioned. It is a feeling that I usually experience each time a new car, motorcycle, or design item are unveiled, as long as they represent something new. It is something hard ...

Go deeper!,
Baselworld 2019,
In my small community, there are at least ten people who own or have owned a Citizen Promaster Aqualand.

Hermes,
30 minutes on the wrist,
SIHH 2019,
What has Hermès to do with fine watchmaking, somebody might argue? I'm more than curious to find out how many of you, after reading just the article's title, asked themselves this question.
