Posted on 7 February 2023 at 4:54 PM

Many watch enthusiasts have heard of the watch brand Elysee. This brand is not famous, but has a very nice history and is one of the leading brands in Germany. We have been an official dealer of Elysee in the Netherlands for over 8 years and have recently presented the latest Elysee watches in our webshop. But what makes an Elysee watch so much fun? How does it differ from other brands?

Elysee Ocean Pro Ceramic 80581

Not only the world famous 'Swiss made', but also the 'made in Germany' label guarantees top quality within the watch industry. Where Switzerland houses many beautiful watch brands, we also find watch brands in Germany that are more than worth a look and offer very exclusive designs. A good example of a beautiful German watch brand is the Elysee brand.

Every individual who belongs to the Elysee team has the goal of taking the brand to the next level again and again. Development and innovation are therefore very important to the brand. The classic watch technology is given a new look by Elysee. The core idea of the brand is: "The core of our work is the sum of design and high quality, combined with the wishes of watch enthusiasts". Elysee chooses only high-quality materials and top-quality timepieces for the production of the watches. The timepieces used by the brand come from exclusive brands such as ETA, Valjoux, Citizen/Miyota, Seiko and Ronda. With a solid foundation at the heart of Elysee watches, you choose reliability and durability.

Within the Elysee collection we find both classic and more sporty models. The brand therefore knows how to reach a wide audience. A good example of a sportier and more robust design from the Elysee collection is the Elysee Ocean Pro Ceramic 80581. This watch has a stainless steel strap, which gives this model a tough character. The watch strap closes with a folding clasp, which ensures a beautiful progression in the strap and emphasizes the fact that it is a luxurious design. The watch case is also made of stainless steel and has a thickness of 13 mm and a diameter of 40 mm. For this watch, it was also decided to use sapphire glass, which is known to be extremely strong. This also ensures that scratches will not easily be visible on the watch. The dial is black in color, which offers a nice contrast with the color of the stainless steel. The dial also looks calm and well-arranged. The heart of the Elysee Ocean Pro Ceramic 80581 is formed by an automatic movement from the Seiko brand. The watch is also water resistant up to 200 meters and also offers great additional functionalities. With this watch, you have a date display, second hand, rotating bezel and luminous indicators.

A second watch from the Elysee collection that we would like to tell you more about is the Elysee GMT Pro 80593. This is also a watch with a sporty character and a robust appearance. This watch has a watch case with a thickness of 13 mm and a diameter of 40 mm. The watch strap is also made of stainless steel and closes with a folding clasp. The sapphire glass ensures that your watch stays beautiful for a long time and can take a beating. The dial is black in color, with the rotating bezel as a blue accent. This watch from Elysee is equipped with a quartz movement from Ronda, which means that the watch functions using a battery. This model is also waterproof up to 200 meters and also offers nice extras. This watch offers a date display, second hand and luminous indicators. In addition, this model is equipped with a handy GMT function, especially for the real enthusiast. Elysee thus offers a very complete picture.

The third and last watch from Elysee that we would like to highlight is the Elysee The Signature 80660. This is a watch with a completely different look than the two watches we mentioned earlier, it is a watch with a more classic design. In addition, this watch is not only stylish, but also has a unique design. The appealing warm blue color that is reflected in both the leather watch strap and the elegant dial is an important aspect of this. This watch is also equipped with a watch case made of stainless steel, with a thickness of 12 mm and a diameter of 43 mm. The watch strap of this watch closes with a buckle. The extremely strong sapphire glass has also been used for this watch. In the basis of this watch we find a quartz movement from the Seiko brand. This watch is water resistant to 30 meters and has a date display, second hand and a beautiful chronograph function.

To return to the questions in the introduction at the top of this article, we can say that Elysee is a watch brand that makes beautiful designs and combines that with reliable technology in the form of good timepieces from famous timepiece manufacturers. This combination ensures that an Elysee watch offers a lot of quality and is nevertheless not expensive. This is of course attractive for the watch enthusiast who likes to wear a beautiful watch but does not want to spend thousands of euros. In addition, not everyone will wear an Elysee watch, so you also wear an original watch on your wrist that is not for sale everywhere and therefore remains special.

The beautiful models that we have mentioned from the Elysee brand are available in our webshop. We naturally deliver these watches in a luxurious official box with manual.

Epos Emotion 3390.152.20.20.30

Posted on 1 February 2023 at 2:50 PM

The watch brand Epos is one of our favorite watch brands from Switzerland. Why? We find Epos watches interesting because it is an authentic Swiss brand that produces very affordable watches of very good quality. There are quite a few brands from this Alpine country that offer a competitive price in addition to good quality. Brands such as Breitling, Rolex, Omega, IWC and Tag Heuer are not accessible to everyone. Epos is a brand that is accessible, without making concessions in terms of quality, finish and durability.

A watch brand with history is extra interesting for lovers of luxury watches. There are watch brands that have been active in the watch industry for many decades and thus carry a special history with them. In this article we would like to introduce you to the Epos brand.

The impressive history of the Swiss watch brand Epos goes back almost a century. The roots of the brand can be found in the Vallée de Joux, also known as the beating heart of the mechanical watch world. Decades followed in which the brand changed owners a number of times. The basis of the brand was retained and there was always a search for development and innovation in the technical field. When the popularity of the mechanical watch declined drastically in the early 1980s due to the rise of the quartz watch, Epos was one of the brands that continued to rely on the power of the watch with an authentic mechanical movement. What followed were beautiful collections of mechanical watches that belonged to the absolute top.

Epos sees the development and manufacture of automatic and mechanical watches as an art form. The motto of the brand is therefore 'the artistry of watchmaking'. That's not for nothing. The watches of the brand are perfectly finished down to the smallest detail, with a passion that only the true watchmaker possesses. The Swiss made watch has built up an extremely good reputation over the years, whereby Swiss watches must meet the strictest conditions. Epos sees it as its mission to be a guardian of the outstanding quality of the Swiss watch. The utmost care is taken with every part of Epos watches. A large part of the production of these watches is done by hand by the craftsman. The timepieces used by Epos are of Swiss origin and from the well-known brands ETA and Sellita. A timepiece of this caliber always provides an extremely reliable and solid basis. The movements are finished to the utmost precision with blue screws and Côtes de Geneve. This means that every Epos watch exudes pure luxury.

Within the Epos collection you can find watches with both a classic and a more sturdy or sporty look. In addition, the brand offers a very good price/quality ratio. This means that you can purchase a top quality watch at an attractive price. This makes Epos accessible to a wide audience. In this article we would like to tell you more about a special design from the Epos collection. We are talking about the Epos Emotion 3390.152.20.20.30. With this watch, Epos knows how to combine the classic with the tough. The stainless steel watch strap gives the watch a more sturdy and robust look, where the classic-looking dial completes this combination. The dial is white in color with classic blue accents. The watch case is made of stainless steel and has a thickness of 9 mm and a diameter of 41 mm. This watch closes with a folding clasp, which ensures that you will not lose it quickly. Moreover, this closure emphasizes the luxurious character of the watch. Epos has opted for the use of sapphire glass for this watch. This is a type of glass that is known to be extremely strong, so scratches will not easily be visible.

Epos Emotion 3390.152.20.20.30

The heart of the Epos Emotion 3390.152.20.20.30 is formed by an automatic movement of the brand ETA (ETA 2892). The movement is visible through the transparent bottom, which will be a huge plus for the real enthusiast. This watch also has a date display and a second hand. Finally, this model is waterproof up to 50 meters. With the ETA 2892 you opt for a traditional watch that suits different clothing styles. This design is an extremely fitting and stylish accessory for both a business and a more casual outfit. Moreover, with this watch you are always up to date, because of the reliable Swiss made movement you can be sure that you will always be able to count on your watch.

Pilot watches from RSC

Posted on 24 January 2023 at 10:31 AM

If you are an admirer of authentic pilot watches, there are several watch brands that are really interesting. We naturally find these brands among the world-famous Swiss watch brands, but also closer to home you can find beautiful watch brands with a special offer in this area. We would like to introduce you to a brand with history and a beautiful watch collection, which has the most fascinating pilot watches to offer. We are talking about the Belgian brand RSC. RSC knows like no other how to capture the impressive aviation history in their unique designs. Moreover, the brand knows how to offer a very good price/quality ratio, with which it aims its arrows at a wider audience. In other words, you don't have to spend thousands of euros for a nice pilot's watch.

RSC Sopwith Hawker RSC 1011

The brand's first watch was inspired by the Sopwith Camel. This aircraft played an important role in the First World War, making this RSC model very interesting for fans of both pilot's watches and iconic aircraft from history. RSC was (co-)founded by Ronald Steffen. This man was also the designer at RSC and found his inspiration after the first striking design of all kinds of historic aircraft. For example, Mustangs, Spitfires and fighter jets served as a source of inspiration, but cargo planes and helicopters, for example, also played an important role.

The oversized watches from the RSC collection are also special and unique. These watches take us back to the well-known squadrons from England, Belgium, the Netherlands and France. Characteristic of these watches are the different squadron logos and details that were incorporated into the various designs. RSC deliberately opts for a limited edition of 250 pieces per design. This means that with an RSC watch you always have a unique piece on your wrist, which you will not easily see with others. This fact ensures, among other things, that a RSC watch can also be called a true collector's item. Each series from the RSC collection has its own characteristic features and unique details. We would like to take a closer look at some appealing watches from different series of the brand.

For example, the watches from the RSC Hawker series offer a nice story. These watches are dedicated to the English aviators and therefore have a nostalgic look. The watch cases of these specific watches are oversized and therefore very striking on the wrist. An example of a beautiful watch from the RSC Hawker series is the RSC Hawker RSC 1243. The watch strap of this watch is made of a beautiful quality leather and comes in the color black. The name RSC is printed on the watch strap. In addition, the strap has lighter colored stitching. The dial of the watch is black in color and features various typical accents in the colors beige and red, among others. This model closes with a thorn closure and is also equipped with hardened mineral glass. The watch case is made of stainless steel and has a thickness of 10 mm and a diameter of no less than 48 mm. The heart of this watch is formed by a high-quality Miyota movement. In addition, this watch offers a date display, second hand and luminous indicators.

The second watch we would like to tell you more about, the RSC Sopwith Hawker RSC 1011, comes from the RSC Sopwith Hawker series. This watch also has an oversized stainless steel watch case with a diameter of 48 mm. The thickness of the watch case is 10mm, which makes the watch comfortable to wear. The dial of this watch is absolutely unique, partly due to the various fine details and accents. The watch strap of this model is made of high-quality leather and has a thickness of 4mm. We also see the name of RSC on this watch strap. The watch strap is also decorated with various gray stitching, which gives the watch a sporty look. This watch also features hardened mineral glass and closes with a buckle. The watch is water resistant to 50 meters and equipped with a high-quality Miyota movement. Finally, with this watch you have access to a date display, second hand and luminous indicators.

Within the RSC SPAD XIII series we find, among others, the RSC SPAD XIII France RSC305. Characteristic of the watches from this series are, among other things, the special dark gray dial. We also see this in the RSC SPAD XIII France RSC305. The watch case of this watch is made of stainless steel PVD, in the color black. It has a diameter of 48mm and a thickness of 10mm. This watch is equipped with hardened mineral glass and is water resistant to 50 meters. The Miyota movement provides a very reliable basis and accurate time display. A special and exclusive detail is the indication 'Aeronautique Militair' on the watch. The date display, second hand and luminous indicators complete the picture.

With the above 3 models from the exceptional collection of RSC, we have only highlighted a small selection of the various options for you. You can find these unique models (and more) in our webshop. We supply RSC watches with a 2-year warranty in a luxury watch box. With a watch from RSC you opt for quality and affordability, a golden combination in our opinion!

The special watch brand Tag Heuer has a rich history with its 162-year existence. Since its foundation in 1860, the brand has been focussing on two different foundations, namely family leadership and innovation. Due to the continuous desire to improve and modernize their products, the watch brand has several patents to its name. For example, the brand managed to perfect the chronograph so that it could start and stop immediately using a push button. Due to the change in the zeitgeist, there was an increasing need for a perfect representation of the time and timing. Tag Heuer developed stopwatches and pocket watches with a chronograph and later expanded the wristwatches with a chronograph function. In 1963, Tag Heuer presented the Tag Heuer Carrera, a chronograph that captured both the danger and the charm of the rally world.

The best Italian watches

Posted on 20 December 2022 at 3:13 PM

Italy is known for various beautiful products. Examples include Italian cuisine, clothing and sports cars. But of course the beautiful coasts and Italian class are also widely praised. In addition, Italy also offers high-quality watches in stylish and elegant designs. In this article we would like to tell you more about a few selected watches from two different Italian watch brands.

The Italian watch brand Locman offers high-quality watches with a sporty design. The quality of Locman watches is so well known that the brand has acquired special rights for the production of watches for the Italian army. The second brand of which we highlight two watches is the special Italian brand Meccaniche Veneziane. Meccaniche Veneziane is a brand that originated from the love for how the clock works. Characteristic of this brand is also the amount of professionals involved in each watch. Not only the watches and timepieces are made by the hands of a craftsman, but also the beautiful leather watch straps and even the special wooden watch boxes. This makes Meccaniche Veneziane unique on all fronts.

Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide watch

The first watch we discuss comes from the Locman brand. It is a watch with authentic Italian allure, namely the Locman Montecristo 41mm 0542A01S-00BKORSO. One of the characteristic aspects of the Locman brand is clearly reflected in this model. We are talking about the lively use of color, with which this model can also be called a real eye-catcher. The watch strap is made of rubber and comes in the striking color orange. The same color is also reflected in the accents on the black dial. This gives the watch a sporty and trendy look. The watch case of this watch is made of a combination of stainless steel and titanium. Furthermore, it is 14mm thick and the watch has a diameter of 41mm. The watch closes with a thorn clasp and is equipped with very strong sapphire glass. In terms of technology, this watch offers a quartz movement, luminous indicators, second hand and date display. In addition, this model has a nice chronograph function.

The second watch that we would like to explain in more detail is one from the Meccaniche Veneziane brand. It concerns the Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide 42mm Ref. 1202004, from the popular Nereide series. This watch is equipped with a beautiful handmade watch strap in the color black. The quality leather used for the watch straps comes from Tuscany and Veneto and is processed according to traditional methods. The lighter-colored stitching on the watch strap is a characteristic accent for Meccaniche Veneziane watches. The watch case of this watch is made of stainless steel and has a thickness of 14mm and a diameter of 42mm. The watch is also equipped with sapphire glass, so that damage will not be easily visible. The watch is also equipped with a rotating bezel, in a striking blue color. This stands out nicely against the black and calm-looking dial. This model closes with a regular buckle. 

For the Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide 42mm Ref. 1202004 uses a Swiss made automatic movement, also known as CAL.MV285. This provides a reliable basis. In addition, the watch is waterproof up to 200 meters and offers several nice extras. With this watch you have a second hand, date display and luminous indicators. Finally, the watch is equipped with a screw-down crown and C1 Swiss Superluminova that glows in the dark. In short, a very complete watch with all these specs.

The last watch that we would like to put in the spotlight also comes from the collection of Meccaniche Veneziane. We are talking about the Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide GMT Topazio Crema. This watch is also equipped with an exclusive leather watch strap, in this case in the color brown. The rotating bezel is also light brown in color. Together with the white dial, this gives the watch a very luxurious look. This model also has a thorn closure and sapphire glass. The watch case of the watch is made of stainless steel and has a thickness of 14 mm and a diameter of 42 mm. Here we again see a Swiss made automatic movement (CAL.MV297) that is beautifully finished with Côtes de Geneve. Finally, the Meccaniche Veneziane Nereide GMT Topazio Crema offers a very impressive list of extra functionalities. This model has a date display, second hand and luminous indicators. In addition, it is equipped with C1 Swiss Superluminova and a screw-down crown. As icing on the cake, this watch has a GMT function, so that 2 time zones can be set.

You can easily and safely order the above-mentioned special Italian watches in our webshop. We also offer several other interesting models from both Locman and Meccaniche Veneziane. Locman watches come with a 2-year warranty and Meccaniche Veneziane watches with a 1-year warranty. So take a look at our webshop now and choose your favorite!
