Luxury comes to the office
Dressed in your best suit and freshly waxed shoes, there’s little doubt that you manage to cut a good figure with the customer you want to impress. At least until he asks you what time it is …. Because what might have been a chic detail suddenly turns into a killer detail when all you have is a threadbare leather strap or a piece of striped ice to adorn your wrist. {Ostentatious sign} like the rest of your outfit, the watch you wear shouldn’t be overlooked. In leather or steel, sober or sophisticated, it must reflect your taste for beautiful things and your standing.
Louis Erard’s Chronograph 1931
Stemming from Louis Erard’s know-how and tradition, the 1931 collection represents the mechanical and aesthetic spirit of the house. This is more particularly the case of the Chronograph 1931 which offers a watch that will suit lovers of a classic and elegant style.
The Chronograph 1931 is a reliable and balanced model, both sporty and refined. The unique index, the arrangement of the different apertures revealing the chronograph, and the discreet date window in the 12-hour counter set the tone for a pleasant symmetry, thus allowing a clear and rapid reading of the various elements of the dial.
Raymond Weil’s Maestro Phase de Lune
Sober and classic lines, with the deep black of the sharp dial with white hands and indexes, Raymond Weil’s Maestro has something lunar about it. Part of the Maestro collection created in 2010, this new piece is the brand’s first moon phase complication on a mechanical movement. Two pushbuttons regulating the moon phase and the date have been ingeniously placed on the Maestro Phase de Lune case between the lugs at 6 o’clock and 12 o’clock. A watch that is sure to place you among the stars in your office.
Tag Heuer’s Monaco
Tag Heuer created 1969 the first waterproof square box in history. Powered by the famous Chronomatic Caliber 11, Monaco is also the world’s first automatic chronograph. A year later, Steve McQueen abandons his famous Rolex, to wear the same watch as Joe Siffert, a famous Swiss driver of the time, during the filming of the film “Le Mans”. On the wrist of the actor who cultivates the image of a rebel, this sleek design watch quickly becomes a planetary icon. This series has been one of the brand’s bestsellers ever since.
The Hampton Side of Baume & Mercier
The spirit of the Hamptons, this Long Island peninsula frequented by the golden youth of New York, once summer comes, has been blowing this line since 1994. We particularly notice the slightly curved rectangular shape which hugs the wrist. The model is available here in its brown and rose gold version, both masculine and warm tones. The ultimate in style, the straight alligator strap with an adjustable triple folding clasp.
Cartier’s Santos
Roman numerals and sword-shaped hands in luminescent black oxidized steel, the name “Santos” of this Cartier watch may seem misleading, as the model borrows its refined and elegant aesthetic from Antiquity.

This model was created to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Santos de Cartier watch.

The Carrera Heritage Caliber 16 chronograph perpetuates the spirit of the collection, launched in 1964. Its counters at 12 and 6 o’clock are embossed with an azure decoration. Several straps are available for this model: steel, blue, black, or brown alligator.
Nautica’s NCT 600 Multi
More and more, the Nautica brand, originally a textile brand, devotes its efforts to developing watch models with bold colors and innovative technologies. The NCT 600 Multi is no exception to the rule. Aesthetic, precise, and robust, it has many advantages among which are affordable prices which give it the place of small thumb in our selection. Add to this a water resistance of 100 meters which seems legitimate for a model called upon to sail on the waves of the trend.

Audemars Piguet’s Millenary Quincy Jones
Audemars Piguet reinvents the codes of its contemporary Millenary line and pays tribute to one of the figures of contemporary music, Quincy Jones. The famous oval case, a hallmark of this collection, is adorned with blackened steel, while on the dial, the off-center time zone, a trademark of the Millenary models, is cut out with a light thread. Growing white gold Roman numerals appear on sparkling black background, like the night which reinforces its embrace in New York jazz clubs. Added to this is the satisfaction of being one of the privileged 500 who wear it on their wrist.
Piaget’s Altiplano
Faithful to its pure lines and classicism, the Piaget Altiplano line is enriched with a limited anniversary series in tribute to the 50 years of the caliber 12P for which the house is famous. In a claimed minimalist spirit, Piaget pushes the limits of micro-mechanics even further by setting a new record. Thanks to the integration of the micro-rotor principle, the 1200P movement, produced in the tradition of the caliber 12P, displays a height of only 2.35 millimeters, while the pink gold case presents itself with finesse at 5.25. millimeter. The words “anniversary” are discreetly displayed around the edge of the blue hand-guilloché dial and the limited series number is engraved on the platinum oscillating weight.
Cartier’s Rotonde
Cartier is one of those names that comes naturally to your mind when it comes to luxury and elegance. This Rotonde model in 18-carat white gold, topped with a beaded crown adorned with cabochon sapphire and a sapphire crystal, is no exception to the rule. Its clean lines serve a classicism which, rather than falling into austerity, is a showcase for the most sophisticated movements, thanks to its imposing proportions.
Audemars Piguet’s Jules Audemars
Under this ultra-thin profile, which gives the Jules Audemars watch its slim silhouette, is housed a movement capable of indicating the day, date, month, moon phases, and leap year cycle. However, such mechanical prowess does not obscure the search for aesthetics characteristic of Audemars Piguet collections, as evidenced by this 18-carat pink gold case matched with a satin-brushed brown dial.
