    Very watchable, great presentation and beautiful calm clear voice. I do own a Bell and Ross 02 but after watching this video I would like more.

    I stumbled upon Serica. And now the 6190 Commando gets a bunch of wrist time. Brilliant watch.

    Some of the Baltic watches use Swiss movements. My Aquascaphe GMT uses the Soprod C125 movement. But, I assume that the band and case are made in Asia.

    Why do so many of these "French" brands insist on using the "Swiss Made" seal of approval. Surly they can just put French Made if they are confident in their product even if they decide they have to use a Swiss movement.

    • @Andromahlius
      @Andromahlius Рік тому +2

      The "Made in France" label is severely regulated and I'm pretty sure having a swiss movement inside (such as the ubiquitous 7750 etc) bars the brand from using it.

    This is a wonderful video; thanks so much for sharing.!
    I've always had a great admiration for French aesthetics while a collector of fine watches. So French watches would tick both those boxes in one fell swoop.
    Is there any watch shop or department store in Paris that retails most if not all of these French brands under one roof so I don't have to run all over France to buy/view these brands?
