Before you click away and call me a sell-out, this is NOT a sponsored post. I did not get paid in any way or form to post this, I don’t sell these watches and I don’t get any commission. Well, let’s get started! A few weeks ago, I sat with Méraud founder, Stijn. He gave […]
This post is some kind of homage to the first article ever posted on this website. If you remember: Last year I went to the Zoute GP to do the very first watchspotting post ever, and the very first post on this website. Of course the weather cockblocked me and it rained non-stop. Not a […]
The Zoute Grand Prix in Knokke reminds me a bit of The Purge. For 48 hours, there are basically no traffic rules. Ferrari’s going full throttle in a 30 zone, screaming Lambo’s drifting on roundabouts, double parked Rolls Royce’s, Bentley’s from 1920 cruising without licence plates… It’s basically Neverland for people with way too much […]
Go to your local butcher on a Sunday morning and you’ll see at least 3 Speedmaster, 2 Subs and a Datejust on your way home. Not saying anything bad about these watches, just an observation. But what about a Roger Dubuis Excalibur Skeleton Pirelli? There are only 88 pieces in the world, so the odds […]
At a GTG dinner after Baselworld, I shared the table with some really interesting people. After the obligatory table-shot, I spotted a Jacob & Co Epic X on some guy’s wrist, a watch that I had never seen before in real life. A few minutes later I spotted a Konstantin Chaykin Joker on this guy’s […]
This article started by accident. Short recap: I went to a pub to get some beers with a fellow watchgeek. OK I lied. I got wasted on a tuesdaynight with a guy who just happened to be into watches. A mere coincidence. We did the obligated ‘watch swap’ and we started drinking. A few hours […]
Yesterday night, I joined another gtg from the Belgium Watch Club. In other words, a bunch on men drooling over watches and complaining about the Pepsi GMT waitlist. This one was in Antwerp, and praise the Lord, it was outside. A good thing, because last time the event was in an attic and I was […]
When I was at the IWC Air Trophy, my watchspotting eyes were sharper than ever! When watching the airplaines land on the beach, I saw a glimpse of a Rolex Daytona on a black alligator strap, strapped on the wrist of a guy in his seventies, right in front of me. When I looked a […]
Airplanes, beaches, booze and watches. This could have been a new Post Malone track. In fact, it’s a short description of the air rally I spectated in Knokke, Belgium. The air trophy had a STOL competition. What is STOL? STOL is an acronym for a Short Take-Off and Landing aircraft, which have short runway requirements […]
When planning Baselworld, I really wanted to have a chat with the people of Romain Gauthier. I wanted to know more about the Insight Micro Rotor, and of course I wanted to see ‘The Logical One’, a watch that has a chain in it’s movement. When the appointment was set, I geeked out. Not for […]
