Yonger & Bresson - Affordable chic but undiscovered Micro Brand
"Timepieces are designed by Franck Muller design team led by Gabriele Guidi, a Swiss watch designer well-known in the luxury watchmaking world who has designed countless famous high-end collections for Longines, Tissot, Bulova and Universal Geneve"
Found this watch brand by accident after discussing Cartier-Bresson and the link between photography and watches. From comment with #JoninAtl Copper Waterloo) "nice watch longside a Leica camera, you have a Cartier Bresson "moment in time (Decisive Momenthttps://petapixel.com/the-decisive-moment/ ) right there! (Cartier-Bresson's tool Camera was a Leica as you may be aware).
A quote from Cartier-Bresson (The Photographer)
"In whatever picture-story we try to do, we are bound to arrive as intruders. It is essential, therefore, to approach the subject on tiptoe — even if the subject is still-life. A velvet hand, a hawk’s eye — these we should all have."
Interestingly, a watch was commissioned to celebrate Cartier-Bresson namely the Yonger Bresson https://mroatman.wixsite.com/watches-of-the-ussr/yonger-bresson strangely they even now sell watches at a well known online retailer. Here is their website https://en.yongerbresson.com/ I think I may do a post on them (here), another Micro brand.
Wow check the gif here https://en.yongerbresson.com/collections/pour-lui/products/le-singulier-silver-ybh-8580-01 le Singulier silver is a gem (would be more chic on a leather strap imho) another largely undiscovered brand
Global Watch taste - Omega, Certina, Tissot, Seiko, Poljot, Ingersol, etc
Perfect another microbrand for me to explore
