I think About Vintage came close, but ultimately for me, missed the mark on this Seconde Seconde collaboration. The dial was interesting, but About Vintage did not highlight that the "1" in "1956" is scratched out, playing on the 10th century motif. Too playful, because it looks defective. The bezel has no practical use, so it might have well been "fixed", it was also sharp on the edge. Legibility is useless in the evening. The hands are shaped like swords of the era, but at least could have a stripe a lume. The date placement was fine. The Bonklip style bracelet is light and thin by nature, but this makes the total feel of the watch too top heavy. It was also sharp on the edge of the links. The Miyota movement of choice is what was really disappointing it was 2+ min. fast per day. If it were a quality hand wound movement, it would have gone along with the vintage vintage feel there, second seconde. 499 is just way too much, for this watch, even if collecting pieces from Romaric Andre. Not for me, but the return process was fast and simple. Good communication from the AV team.

Vraiment une superbe expérience!!! la montre est magnifique et de bonne qualité…et parlons du service client qui est très professionnel et réactif
Je recommande fortement !!!
Merci encore

Novel watch. I like the design. At the same time, what would possibly have been better would be to have more contrast between the hands and the dial. . . Also the date window is just way too small to be useful.

very good watch

The watch was delivered and was defective. The bezel was not attached to the watch, I’ve sent it back to be repaired. I’m happy to change my review once I’ve received the watch back in perfect working condition.
