Reading Time: < 1 minute I have to admit that my first love from Hamilton was the PAN EUROP but for today I want to present, from the American Classic Collection, the Flintridge. Available for both genders, Flintridge is a lovely design and makes a big impression. At least, I was impressed… The catalogue priceContinue Reading
Reading Time: < 1 minute It’s known among my colleagues and friends that I love unusual designs and I’m interested in special ways of telling the time. The Nord Zeitmaschine timepieces are unusual and I love them (and have a place in my “to have” list). For today I would like to present to youContinue Reading
Reading Time: < 1 minute I believe that Cartier Tank is not a secret for a watch lover. This model is widespread, still available in the Cartier collections (http://www.en.cartier.com/collections/watches/mens-watches/tank.html) and the offer on the pre-owned market is generous.

Reading Time: 5 minutes I was waiting patiently to see the new beauty from the Horological Brothers – the Grönefelds. My expectation was fulfilled and my joy has no margins regarding the Grönefeld 1941 Remontoire – a new watch, an old complication and a lot of Grönefeld specific elements. But about that a littleContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes In July I have read an interesting article on Hodinkee about a rare Rolex – Cellini Rolex Prince: The Rolex Nobody Knows (But You Should). I was intrigued! I am not a Rolex fan in particular but that image with a quadratic watch on a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Brut made me read carefullyContinue Reading
Reading Time: 3 minutes I always like to know details about the creator/designer/manufacturer of the watch I like. It is the human touch that makes it more interesting, so, after the view of the One Hertz, I prepared some questions for the Horological Brothers.
