Julien Coudray 1518 Oeuvre Classica 1548

Despite only officially launching the brand last year Julien Coudray 1518 are already starting to establish themselves as an extremely high-end, high-quality watch manufacturer. Their pieces may not be overly flashy on first appearances but those with a healthy appreciation for the finer things in no life have no doubt already realized that these guys are the real deal. Case in point the new Oeuvre Classica 1548, hewn from one kilogram of solid 18ct Pd125 white gold.

Jacquet Droz Grande Heure GMT

Today I’m taking a closer look at the new Grande Heure GMT from Jacquet Droz. Decidedly understated, the Grand Heure features a fresh take on displaying the GMT function that I find quite attractive. The minimalist design of the dial won’t suit all tastes of course, in large part due to its inherent simplicity but at the same time I think the uncluttered approach will really appeal to frequent travellers, especially those looking to keep a lower profile.

In many ways a standard bearer in the industry the brand has spent the better part of the last three hundred years honing their craft, developing their own inimitable style in the process. This year saw the introduction of several new pieces, including the wonderfully refined Classique 5277BR.

Breitling Transocean Chronograph QP

Breitling is another one of those brands I just didn’t manage to get to at Baselworld this year (although I’m slightly less disappointed about that than Glashütte) and so unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to go hands-on with their new, limited edition Transocean Chronograph QP, a timepiece that is making me feel things that I’ve never felt about a Breitling before.

De Bethune DB28 Black Matte
Looking slick – the DB28 Black Matte from De Bethune

Madness.

That’s really the only way to describe our inaugural Baselworld experience. Between the thousands of people assailing the halls each day and the innumerable brands competing for your attention, it’s like nothing you’ve ever experienced before (except for those of you who went, of course!). It’s also a heck of a lot of fun. This is a place where unforgettable experiences are had, new friendships forged and old ones renewed, and most importantly you get to spend all day every day playing with some seriously cool watches.
