Owner Review: Franck Muller Crazy Hours

… That is Franck Muller. From a time where all had one and those that did not, needed one… to a time where wearing a Franck Muller Crazy Hours set you miles away from the knowledgeable collector crowd.

Owner Review: Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantieme

The Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantieme is instantly recognizable and unmistakably a Jaquet Droz to all the WIS out there and at 43mm it can hardly be missed.

Owner Review: Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950

Originally introduced during the year 2011 in precious metal only, the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 was then announced in 2017 in steel also.

Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classic Small Seconds

The Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classic Small Seconds is gorgeous. I love this watch deeply and can’t imagine not owning one. I forgive its flaws because it is just so incredibly beautiful. The way the light plays off the high-polish case, the immediately identifiable shape and proportions, the beautiful guilloche dial and blued-steel hands, there’s nothing…
