Official dealer Bernard Favre watch winders

Posted on 5 May 2021 at 4:29 PM

The ultimate accessory for automatic watches is a watch winder. This device ensures that the automatic watches are supplied with the necessary energy and therefore do not come to a standstill. A watch winder is very handy because the watches are always ready to wear, but also with regard to the preservation and maintenance of automatic watches, the use of a watch winder is recommended. The watches are rotated and therefore the oil is well spread over the parts of the timepiece. An important side effect is that you no longer have to open the crown to set the time and date correctly when the automatic watch is empty. The crown is one of the most vulnerable parts of a watch and you want to pull itout as little as possible.

We have more than 15 years of experience in the field of watch winders. We are official dealer of all brands that you will find in our online store. We visit brands, fairs, factories and presentations. Based on this, we follow all new developments, collections, technology and innovations in the field of watch winders and we can inform our customers well. In the Netherlands we have our own service workshop so that we can help our customers professionally.

As an official dealer of different brands, we see many watch winders every day, of all brands. We find Bernard Favre's watch winders very special. This Swiss brand, based in the south of Switzerland, produces its watch winders entirely by hand. Craftsmanship is extremely important to this brand and results in a high quality and beautiful finish. The Bernard Favre watch winders are Swiss made. This means that the production takes place in Switzerland and a % of the parts come from Switzerland. The Swiss made designation is an important indicator in the world of watches. The same applies to watch winders, although there are brands from the Netherlands and Germany that offer the same degree of quality.

The owner and designer of this Swiss brand is mr. Bernard Favre. He developed a special system and called it “Planet”. Bernard Favre Planet watch winders distinguish themselves from other watch winders by various aspects. First we would like to mention the Swiss made designation. Second, the unique concept of winding a watch. The winding of the automatic watch takes place through a three-dimensional movement. The watch turns, as it were, on its own axis, whereby the watch obtains energy. Not only is this a spectacular sight, it is also very effective. As a third aspect we mention the battery function of the Bernard Favre watch winders. When the battery is charged via the adapter, the watch winder can function for up to 3 months, depending on the weight of the watch. This allows you to place the watch winder where you want it. You can also put a Bernard Favre Planet watch winder in a safe, for example, so that the watch and watch winder are optimally safe. But you can also easily take a Bernard Favre watch winder with you on a trip or vacation.

Bernard Favre Planet Black & Orange leather watch winder

The Bernard Favre Planet watch winders also have a modern design and are available in different colors and materials. As a watch enthusiast, you will always find a suitable Bernard Favre watch winder that suits you. As an extra, the watch winder comes with a beautiful glass bell jar that you place over the watch winder. As a result, the watch is fully protected and you still have a perfect view of the watch that is rotating.

Each Bernard Favre Planet watch winder has 9 pre-programmed winding cycles. Each with a different direction of rotation and a different number of TPD (turns per day), or the number of revolutions per day. This makes this watch winder suitable for winding 99% of all automatic watches, regardless of the specific watch brand or model. You simply choose the settings that your automatic watch requires via the controls at the bottom of the watch winder.

What strikes us about the Bernard Favre Planet watch winders is the luxurious appearance and beautiful materials that are used. There is a choice of chrome, black pvd and gold in terms of rings that rotate. In terms of base, you can choose from various types of materials such as carbon, plastic and leather. These are also available in a variety of different colors. As a result, there are 50 different Bernard Favre Planet watch winders available and you can choose exactly the model that appeals to you and fits perfectly with your watch and interior.

The brand has also thought of all kinds of extras. Not only a glass bell jar is included, but also a small round rubber mat that you place under the watch winder. Everything has been done by this Swiss brand to provide an automatic watch with energy safely and in absolute luxury. An adapter, manual and certificate are of course included.

Bernard Favre Planet watch winders are luxury and Swiss made, which means that they are not cheap. The collection starts with a price of 1390.00 euros (incl. 21% VAT) or 1148.00 euros (excl. VAT) for the Bernard Favre Planet Black model. The prices rise if you want gold-colored rings or a special type of leather on the base, for example. The most expensive models are around 2100.00 euros (incl. 21% VAT) or 1735.00 euros (excl. VAT). The price is absolutely justified by the surplus of quality, the beautiful finish and durable technology. In addition, the mode of excitement is unique and a beautiful sight. You also do not buy a Bernard Favre watch winder if you want to wind a Seiko watch. Most customers who purchase such a watch winder own a high-end watch, such as IWC, Rolex, Zenith, Patek, Breitling, Omega or Longines. Whichever Bernard Favre model you choose, all Planet models will wind all automatic watches without any problems and completely safely.

But why do the Bernard Favre watch winder appeal to us so much? There are a number of reasons why we recommend a Bernard Favre watch winder to our customers. The quality and unique mode of arousal are the main reasons. If you really want a special watch winder for your beautiful collection of automatic watches, you cannot ignore this Swiss brand.

Of course there are good alternatives to a Bernard Favre watch winder, which also offer a Swiss made product with Swiss technology. But the special way in which an automatic watch is supplied with energy by rotating on its own axis in combination with the luxurious appearance and beautiful materials offers no other brand.

Bernard Favre stands for craftsmanship and authenticity. Each model comes with a minimum of 3 years warranty. This is of course extremely important for us as an official dealer. We want to supply you with an excellent product that you will enjoy for years to come. We are also enthusiasts of automatic watches and we know how important it is to use a good watch winder for winding automatic watches. The use is positive for the preservation of automatic watches and very handy because your automatic watches run neatly on time and are immediately ready to put on your wrist.

Elysee watches | Collection 2021-2022

Elysee Vintage Chrono 80550 watch

Just like the "Swiss made" label, the designation "made in Germany" also brings a nice promise of quality and reliability in the field of the quality watch. Many watch enthusiasts will therefore like to own a watch of Swiss or German origin. With a watch of that quality, you know that you are buying a watch that will give you years of enjoyment. To be able to use the "made in Germany" label, many conditions and requirements must be met, just as with the Swiss made label. The German watch brand Elysee has even been involved from the beginning in the preparation of the guidelines (2013) for the "made in Germany" label. You can conclude from this that the brand sets very high standards for the quality of its products. This naturally creates trust and that is not without reason. With an Elysee watch you choose top quality and a sustainable product. What makes the brand extra interesting for many enthusiasts is, among other things, the good price/quality ratio. You can purchase a beautiful Elysee watch for an attractive price, without compromising on quality.

Elysee has a rich history. The brand has been producing quality watches for both men and women for more than a century. The company was taken over in 1991, but the standards and values ??and original goals have been continued ever since. At Elysee, quality, innovation and development are of paramount importance. The company even has its own business philosophy that has benefited it for years, namely "The core of our work is the sum of design and high quality, combined with the wishes of watch enthusiasts".

There is a lot of diversity to be seen within the Elysee collection. For example, the brand has both modern and classic designs, generally with a modest approach. In addition, Elysee offers watches with both quartz and automatic timepieces of quality. Due to the diversity, quality and affordability of Elysee watches, this brand is very interesting for almost every watch enthusiast. In the field of technology, Elysee likes to lead the way, so when you choose a traditional watch from Elysee, you can count on it being equipped with the high-quality technology of today.

The Elysee collection consists of several series. We start with the Elysee Nestor watch series. In this series, the modest character of Elysee clearly comes to the fore, but then combined with a unique design and an absolutely original look. With these watches we see colors that match a stylish and classic look. Think of dark brown, black, gold and rosé. The watches from the Nestor series are equipped with an automatic movement from Miyota, which is known for its high quality. Only high-quality materials have been chosen for these watches, such as beautiful calf leather for the straps, sapphire glass and stainless steel. Characteristic of these watches is the beautiful open dial and sturdy folding clasp.

A second beautiful series from the collection is the Elysee Picus watch series. Here too we see a lot of classic use of color. These watches also have an open dial, which really gives the timepiece something extra. Despite the fact that the Elysee Picus series houses watches with the same color styles and the same modest character as the aforementioned series, these watches still have their own look. Here too, Elysee once again chooses the best materials. The watch straps are made of exceptionally beautiful calf leather and the glass that was chosen is extremely strong sapphire glass. These watches are also equipped with an automatic Miyota movement and also close with a folding clasp.

The third series from Elysee that we would like to name is the Elysee Vintage Chrono watch series. The watches within this series have a retro look and there is a choice of watches with a beautiful leather or stainless steel watch strap. As the name of the series suggests, these watches have a nice chronograph function. These watches are also equipped with a Seiko quartz movement. In addition to the chronograph function, we see many other beautiful functionalities within this series. Think of a date display, stopwatch function and tachymeter. These watches also have a somewhat minimalist look, so that the image remains calm. Moreover, they are easy to combine with various clothing styles.

Of course, the aforementioned series are just a selection from Elysee's special collection. The brand has several other beautiful watch series to offer.

RSC watches | Affordable pilots watches

Posted on 20 April 2021 at 1:17 PM

For the true lover of special watches, it is often not only the quality and appearance of a watch brand that is important. When a particular watch brand or a specific watch has a special story with it, this is often highly appreciated by the watch enthusiast. It means that certain watches are also considered a collector's item and yet have that extra appeal. If you do not only consider yourself one of the lovers of a beautiful watch, but are interested in WWI and specifically in aviation, then we have a very special watch brand for you. We are talking about the Belgian watch brand RSC watches. Co-founder and designer Ronald Steffen himself is very fascinated by WWI and was inspired by this period when designing the designs for RSC watches. Every watch from RSC therefore carries a piece of nostalgia and history with it. RSC has succeeded in presenting a beautiful collection of watches that are not only a tribute to aviation, but are also very affordable.

RSC Vickers 203 watch

RSC is a watch brand that may be less known, but is one of our favorite watch brands. The brand is very sympathetic and we like watches with accents and references to the past. At RSC you are then in the right place, because the brand knows how to make a perfect combination between contemporary technology and beautiful details of aviation from years ago.

RSC was the first to market a watch with a design based on the Sopwith Camel, a legendary aircraft that played an important role in WWI. After this design Ronald Steffen was inspired by many other aircraft with history. Aircraft like Mustangs and Spitfires, but also jet fighters, helicopters and cargo planes. RSC managed to grow into an icon among pilot's watches with his designs. The designs based on well-known squadrons (from England, France, Belgium and the Netherlands) that fought in WWI are characterized by oversized watch cases and squadron logos that are incorporated into the watches. The eye for detail with regard to these designs is therefore sublime. What makes an RSC watch even more special is that they are produced in only a very limited edition (250 pieces per series). With a watch from RSC you can be sure that you have a unique and original watch on your wrist.

The heart of RSC watches is formed by high-quality movements from well-known movement factories such as Miyota. Furthermore, the RSC watches use various high-quality materials such as hardened mineral glass, stainless steel and particularly beautiful leather. The watches from the different series from RSC all offer a clear dial and take you back to the days of yore with their traditional look. A nice series within the collection of RSC is the RSC Vickers F.B. 5 series. The watches in this series are equipped with a Miyota quartz movement and a stainless steel watch case. The strap is made of high-quality leather and offers a high wearing comfort. Also special is the "UK Royal Flying Corps" designation. The watches offer a water resistance of up to 50 meters. We also see nice extra functionalities, such as luminous indicators, a second hand and a date display. The watches close with a buckle clasp.

A second beautiful series within the collection is the RSC SPAD XIII series. This French series from RSC is characterized, among other things, by the dark gray dial in combination with a PVD black watch case. Here too we see a Miyota quartz movement and a high quality leather watch strap. These watches are labeled Aeronautique Militaire, which of course offers a nice extra accent. The RSC SPAD XIII watches are provided with particularly beautiful and unique accents on the dial. This makes these watches stand out in the collection and will certainly be appreciated by the real enthusiast.

The watches from the RSC Sopwith Hawker series are a very good example of the variety that RSC watches offer. The various beautiful accents that are incorporated in these watches make them absolutely unique. Due to the clear dial and oversized watch case, these watches are also very easy to read in terms of time and date. The watches are waterproof up to 50 meters and offer nice extra functionalities, such as luminous indicators, a second hand and a date display. The watches close with a handy buckle clasp.
All in all, the RSC watches are very original due to a unique combination of properties and they definitely have their own recognizable identity. In addition, the limited edition of 250 pieces per series makes these watches extra special and a highly sought-after collector's item. Do you have a passion for aviation and WWI in particular and do you have a preference for beautiful pilot's watches? Then viewing the RSC collection is definitely worth it. The aforementioned series from RSC are a selection from the collection, the brand also has more beautiful models to offer.

When you order a watch from the RSC collection from us, you will receive it in a luxurious official box with a 2-year warranty and manual at home. At the moment you can order a number of very beautiful models from us with an attractive discount. This makes it even more interesting to choose a watch from RSC now!

Glycine Airman 42 GL0065 watch

Watch brands with character, a special history and a touch of nostalgia are extra attractive for most watch enthusiasts. What could be more fun than being able to tell a special story when someone compliments you on your watch? There are various watch brands with a long history or a special approach. Glycine is a leading brand in the watch industry that has been producing its watches in Switzerland since 1914. The brand was founded by Eugene Meylan who only strived for perfection. This is still reflected in the Glycine watches today. Top quality watches that are sublime in terms of quality, technology and appearance. They sometimes say that you don't so much buy a Glycine watch for yourself but for your posterity.

Due to the long history that the brand has been able to build, Glycine stands for development and innovation. Meylan took advantage of the innovation and technical developments of his time. Glycine watches were therefore always equipped with the most modern technology. The brand was also seen as a pioneer in aviation and world timer watches for pilots and frequent travelers. Glycine was then able to develop the best miniature movements for timepieces (1920-1929). Moreover, the brand rightly became the supplier for the wealthy at the time. This of course says a lot about the quality of the watches and the sought after designs of Glycine. The Americans and English in particular were very enthusiastic about the watches of the leading brand. After WWII, Glycine introduced automatic timepieces and chronometers for the first time. What followed was the most special model of this brand, which is still very popular and is seen as the jewel of the collection, namely the Glycine model "Airman". The Glycine Airman is still an iconic watch with a beautiful appearance.

The Glycine watches are comparable in quality to larger brands, but better priced. A somewhat smaller brand like Glycine has the advantage that extra attention can be paid to quality and finish.

This, in combination with the attractive prices and high quality, means that Glycine is able to appeal to a wide audience. Moreover, Glycine not only offers particularly stylish men's watches, but as a lady you can also opt for Glycine if you are looking for an elegant and timeless watch.
