That’s beautiful!
Love the 6190 cali dial
Wanted to visit them last Monday but it was closed (and of course it was written online, I simply did not check!). Stunning pieces! How does the Bonklip bracelet wear? Comfortable?
I actually could not buy it because they are sold out but that bonklip is amazing....light and it creates a perfect fit.
I love these designs!
Like the way they've done 2x 0-12 on the GMT bezel, instead of 0-24. 👍
“Swiss horology”
I like its watches, but I would like the brand more if it didn’t come off to me as so sterilely attached to “Swiss Swiss Swiss”. Why bother with a Parisian base when they might as well set up shop in Biel?

I am in the opposite camp.
Did you happen to see the Desert Red GMT Lee?
In the press photos I loved it but have been a little disappointed by the colours in wrist shots I've seen.
I'd be interested in your hot take.

I did see it. In person, and to my eyes, the bezel appeared to be more of a dark chocolate brown. I did not take it outside and I am sure that it looks different in bright lighting. Very nice watch. The end links are great and also change the watch a lot. All of that said, I strongly prefer their field watches. The 6190’s just have a special vintage vibe. It would fight my Vertex M100 (reissue) for wrist time when I am in that mood, and I love my Vertex. I will be buying one later this year pending my wife’s approval. :)

Thanks Lee.
Bear in mind I haven't seen it in the flesh, but to my eyes the colours a little off - a little too much red in the brown maybe? But I need to reserve my judgement until I see it in person.
I bought a 4512 when they were released and love it. I'm a fan of the 8315 GMT and will most likely pick one up one day, I need to consolidate my collection first and would probably have to choose between my Lorier Hyperion and it. I really enjoy the Lorier but the Serica is much more original and distinctive - better quality too.
Good luck with your wife mate, hope to see you sporting a 6190 soon.
Thanks Lee.

Thanks! I have learned that watch collecting involves many hard decisions! The 8315 gives you a COSC certified movement and the bonklip bracelet is killer, it was incredibly comfortable and the watch looks amazing on it. Good luck deciding my friend!
