Always nice to hear about indies and about your opinion on that matter.
The Zodiac is definitely a great De Bethune and I especially love the hour ring with its thin Roman numerals. I guess in the metal the Zodiac ring must be gorgeous too.
Not often I say that about De Bethune but I don't like the DB28 GS, how the materials look and the dial design, I guess it is not for me (just very personal, I'm sure the watch is great).
I also like the 210 S, even if I think I would prefer the style of the watch with a strap, maybe because I imagine it would look "lighter" that way.
I'm not really fond of this blue dial in the LM1, the white gold version is till my favorite.
The Favre is really interesting, especially this Art Deco hour ring. I wonder if there is something special about the double balanciers display?
I was wondering what is J. Coudray becoming lately and I just saw on the net the ompany was acquired by a Belgian owner. Do you have more informations about them ?
Cheers, Mark

the De Bethune - very, very pretty - but on a real man's wrist? the LF Traveller - an undigestible color scheme on a geo-gone-crazy dial. the UR-210S is far too mighty to be showcased on that famous wrist, and those min-min markings are almost indetectabl...

Like the first Urwerk on bracelet I loooove this combination of the Urwerk 202s. They really found a way to reinvent an existing watch, the bracelet goes so well with their watch. Fantastic once again. Not a lot of bracelet are successful with High end wa...
