Watches: The Pink Trend!

Watches: The Pink Trend!

Is it the Barbie effect, a seduction operation for millennials, or simply a need for optimism? In 2024, watchmakers are seeing life through rose-tinted glasses. Cases and dials are adorned with delightful shades ranging from bubblegum to fuchsia, just like our favourite Tag Heuer Carrera automatic watch with a bright pink date dial, worn by Ryan Gosling at the Barbie movie premiere in Toronto! We had already announced the pink trend with a selection of women's watches, and now our favourite colour is also featured on men's, high-tech, and sports watches! Liberated from a binary vision of gender, the colour of tenderness, joy, and seduction is omnipresent. Whether it's a twist on a classic watch, an iconic model, or a more confidential timepiece… Think pink! It’s no secret: young generation...

Horological complications: a beginner’s guide

Horological complications: a beginner’s guide

We've already covered watch movements, which you now master perfectly! Over time and with the acquisition of new pieces, the watch becomes much more than just a timepiece or a stylish accessory. As they gain confidence and accumulate technical knowledge, collectors will naturally gravitate towards models with complications. Complications are, of course, primarily associated with mechanical watches. Isn't a mechanical watch already a complex object in itself? "Certainly not," watchmakers will retort from behind their workbenches. With their focus on the infinitely small, these "mad scientists" continuously push boundaries. Because, beyond its aesthetic and practical qualities, a timepiece is first and foremost a technical feat. Designing a watch that tells time through a mechanical moveme...

20 watches to see “la vie en rose”

20 watches to see “la vie en rose”

Watches are not immune to the pink trend, and we love it! Finally, a colour that matches our outfit. Well, yes: pink goes with everything. Time is feminine, and the good news is that watchmakers are becoming aware of this! And Audrey Hepburn won't contradict us: “I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles.” Just like the heroine of Breakfast at Tiffany's, let's look at life and time through rose-tinted glasses! As the favourite colour of little girls, the colour of baby clothes, cotton candy, and bubble gum – sometimes considered cheesy – pink h...

14 cool girl’s watches to slip under the Christmas tree

If there is a time of year when you can proclaim your love to someone dear, it is Christmas. And what better way to pamper a woman, and especially a cool girl, than with a beautifully crafted, precious and timeless watch that will stand by her through the great moments of her life? So, what are we waiting for? Got an elegant friend? You can’t go wrong by choosing from the collections of the great fashion brands, namely Dior and Chanel. The house on rue Cambon has made a name for itself in the sometimes-sectarian world of watchmaking. It all began in 1987 with the birth of the Première, the brainchild of former Artistic Director Jacques Helleu. It single-handedly revolutionized the world of ladies' watches. And for good reason! By moving away from the traditional (and slightly soppy) mother...
