Last friday, we hosted another great Belgium Watch Club GTG. This one was different, because I organised it. I remember joining my first gtg a few years ago, and remember being super nervous. A few years later, I’m the schmuck in charge. How the tables have turned. It was great to see a lot of […]
Last April, I was in Gothenburg with Longines to watch the Jumping world cup. When I was chatting with Achim, the Belgian brand manager, we talked about the history of Longines. He quickly noticed how passionate we were about Longines’ history, especially the divers from the sixties. A few weeks later, last week to be […]
Last weekend, we were invited to the Longines Jumping World Cup final in Gothenburg, Sweden. If you are here for a full in depth review of the horse show, I have some bad news: I don’t know anything about horses. I went for the watches. We flew to Sweden with Achim, the general brand manager […]
In december 2018, the annual Belgium Watch Club birthday dinner took place in Brussels. I went with 2 watches, and came home with 3. Mister Tudor gave me his Tudor Black Bay bronze to write a review on. I don’t know whether his decision was based on genuine care for the website or fishing for […]
Sadly, no Salon QP for me this year. This happened, well, mainly due to horrible planning from my side. The good news was that I could finally attend Passion For Watches in Brussels, wich happened the same weekend. The fair is only about 40 kilometers from my home, so no overpriced London hotels this year. […]
Hooray, another watchspotting post at a Belgium Watch Club gtg. How original. This time I was properly prepared, wich basically comes down to a charged camera and decent lighting. Now I was the weirdo who brought way to much camera gear to a bar on a saturdaynight. I am not going to ramble any longer […]
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 […]
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 […]
