Owner Review: Glashutte Original Senator Automatic by @watchesandwords

Thinking wrong because … A German watch, a watch made in Glashütte, Saxony, an elegant time only execution, center seconds, clear bright dial, Roman numerals, railroad minute track, heat blued steel hands. I bet that every reader will now have a specific brand in mind. Exactly! I mean this brand. It’s exactly the brand that…

Owner Review: Lundis Bleus Royal Blue Grand Feu Enamel by @watchesandwords

Isn´t she lovely, isn´t she wonderful (Stevie Wonder) What a surprise, what a discovery I first became aware of Lundis Bleus watches electronically in January 2021, when Bastien Vuilliomenet, Dan Spitz and Johnny McElherron talked about Lundis Bleus watches, craftsmanship, the work of independents, enamel, design and artisanship in episode 32 of my favourite podcast…

Owner Review: Chanel J12 by @tapir_ffm

The year is 2000. The millennium bug has not plunged us into chaos, and Japanese designer Issey Miyake launches the modern and “mathematical” «Bao Bao bag», which can be seen on the arm of Zaha Hadid, among others.
