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 its movement. When the appointment was set, I geeked out. Not for […]
My buddy and I were just outside of Harrods, grabbing some fresh air, until we heard a loud ‘damn, not again’. A lady just broke her last cigarette. Oh the horror. As a non smoking guy, I actually quite enjoyed it. But my friend knew her pain and offered her a fag. She lit the […]
One of the big names on QP was Bovet. This is where I met Tiago, the UK reseller (correct me If I’m wrong) of Bovet. Tiago was a great guy who let us play with some of the most prestigious pieces of Bovet. Everything was fun and games, until he brought out the big gun, […]
Two impressive players from the ‘big little brands’ level are Urwerk and MB&F Big little brands: independant brands who have low production, but are big names in their field First of all, before you all click away and start mocking: Their designs might not be traditional, and some people might find their looks and prices […]
So, last week, I bought my tickets to Salon QP London watch fare. Fair and square. Now, yesterday, I got an email saying: ‘Dear Mister -my name is a secret-, we offer you a 3 day press acces card, all for free’ Eeuuhhh, What the F? So I went to the Saachi gallery to get […]
At the Belgium Watch Club GTG, I ran into @thewatchpatient. A cool fellow watchnerd, who is a watchmaker and a vivid Breitling collector. That night, he wore an IWC Portofino chrono on his right wrist, and a vintage Breitling Navitimer on his left wrist. That might give you a touch on how cool he is. […]
My first victim, this is going to be fun. Just another day in Antwerp, strolling around, until I spotted a flash of a blue Datejust on a perlon strap. Could it be, another ‘Datejust on perlon’-lover? Have I finally found my soulmate? I approched the guy, but then the horror became clear… a fluted bezel […]
So, last weekend I went to the BWC GTG. It’s great to find people with the same passion as yours and just chat about it for hours. No bragging, no idiots with fakes, no posh dickheads, just passionate people! Usually when I freak out about a vintage watch, friends who are not that into vintage […]
Consider yourself a victim of clickbait. But hey, it’s nothing personal, got to make money somehow! Since you are here, why don’t you just read on? Watches Smaller than 36mm? Well, it depends, vintage or new. You can rock a smaller vintage watch for sure, with a shirt or a jacket. I even wear a […]
So, post number one, let’s get this over with! I was ready to go watchspotting at the Zoute Grand Prix in Knokke, Belgium. This is one of the most prestigious car events in Belgium. My camera was charged and my shirt said ‘If you have a cool watch, come talk to me’. Ready to start […]
