Independents: Yup, that's numero uno in my book.

Really love those designs, and the series is quite in tune combined. Subtile, understated and elegant. Deserves a lot more love from the press in my humble opinion. The Laque Émaillée is rather handsome if I may say so. I'm not the right one to judge the value of their work on the movement, but I do

Omega: Brown Sugar

Not a huge fan of sensorship of art, music or literature, and some "erasures" would be rather counterproductive to the cause of the sensors. Makes things look a bit more pretty than reality can vouch for. I was aware that "Brown Sugar" is somewhat misunderstood, but that perspective never really mat

Independents: Bats

Saw the bats for the first time this year last night. They didn't bring me a Hentschel.... Poor training, I'll be better. Curious about your take on Werk 1 and your opinion of the Laque Émaillée?

Omega: Lucky you! :)

If there ever was a punk rocker.... "Bitch" and "Sister Morphine" probably won't go down well either. Beg to differ, can't fleece a dog to make it behave in the house. Black and Blue is the most recent album I revisit, but there's A LOT of rather significant stuff before Some Girls. Amongst their or

Omega:

Was going to suggest that you got your Ya-Ya out. Then again, neither Charlie Watts' nor BB Fuller's take on that would be appropriate. A nice Midnight Rambler it is.

Blancpain: Would fit

Yeah, that and/or a revision of the present to bring it to the series would make a lot of sense, would belong there. The way I picture it, an expansion of the Tech to a series with a common design language ++ will open up some space for more luxury to 5010/5015. Not something I'd ask for, titanium a

Blancpain: As long as...

As long as you don't sell mine 😉 Fully empathise with your sentiment, somehow doubt it would happen beyond a limited run though.

Blancpain: A guess

I somehow anticipate that an expansion of "Tech" to a "FF Tech line" would make sense, be it with 47mm or 45mm case and rubber straps similar to Act II. A long stretch from the fantastic originals in many ways, but very close in terms of the original concept. My take (and hope) is that they follow t

Blancpain: Turned down?

Didn't LIP turn down the Nageur de Combat guys (Maloubier) when they were searching for a useful french tool, and refused to make a diver for them?

Blancpain: Acrylic

Purely from a technical perspective I'd agree as far as acrylic goes, that would be a significant concern and THE showstopper. For gaskets/seals I belive it should be possible to get the right shapes, dimensions and compounds (softness/hardness) to seal them, but I'm not sure how that goes with "mat
