Jaeger LeCoultre GentilHomme Watch (Enamel)

How about a Gentlemen's Watch?

Jaeger LeCoultre has manufactured the GentilHomme Series from the 1970s to early 1990s. This is almost a replica of the Patek Phillipe Calatrava. Its a beautiful watch and those oven baked blue hands and white enamel dial which will never tarnish........

Its a classic Jaeger Lecoultre of all time and this will never be out of fashion. Why pay more for a Patek?

Enjoy..Spot the difference between the JL Gentilhomme versus a Patek 5119? Of course, you may debate that they have different movements and they come from different factory.

Comparing Ball Hydrocarbon Midsize with Tag Heuer for Ladies

Lets compare a Ball Hydrocarbon 34mm midsize with a Tag Heuer 2000 Ladies Automatic watch.

Look at size, Ball wins it all. But i would weigh these 2 brands equally. In terms of build quality, Ball seems to be a winner for robustness and weight.

It depends on the brand you prefer. I would let my wife decide. I think she prefer Ball. You will need to ask your wife then.

Tag Heuer 2000 Chronograph Evolution

It has been 18 years since i got my first Tag Heuer.

It was junior high school back then.

To a Teenager, Tag Heuer is a wonderful watch and Rolex will not look good on me for my young wrist back then.

Lets look at how this watch has evolved over the years with the last of its kind before it became the Aquaracer 2000 series.




Checkout the change in Logo. I prefer the colored logo. Today this Chrono 2000 series is still a very popular collectible item for Tag Heuer fans. Enjoy.

Ball Hydrocarbon 34mm

I have never noticed this brand till one day - i saw the tritium gas lume. It is beautiful and important especially at night if you do not have a minute repeater in the complete darkness. You will need the lume to tell time. Can you imagine Einstein have this during his time - then he will not need the Patek Phillipe Minute Repeater.......

A brief review of Ball watches. Their watches are well-built and similarly for their packaging. I am disappointed with their catalogues - They need to improve on this. You could compare Ball Brochure with Tag Heuer Brochure.....

Now lets go on to the pictures.

Hydrocarbon - A robust series for Ball Watches.

Checkout the patented winding crown bridge and the quality of the bracelet.

Rolex probably should take reference from Ball for their robust build. Get a BALL?
