You might have heard about it but, at Les Rhabilleurs‘ Team, we LOVE nice cars. So, when the tick-tock of a beautiful watch meets the roar of a super sports car, it is not hard to imagine how we feel.
A few weeks before Roland Garros which starts on May 21, we met one of the jewels of the French court: Paul-Henri Mathieu. Together with our journalist and friend Hervé Borne* (text) we met him to talk about tennis – obviously – but not only… We deliver you today this exclusive interview, illustrated with some pictures of Paul-Henri equipped with 2 Longines watches of our choice… Obviously.
Magnus Walker, founder of the brand Urban Outlaw, is a real Porsche enthusiast. We found the following documentary on the website of another passionate, of Omega watches it for its part, our friend Fratellowatches which - deservedly – takes advantage of those beautiful images we urge you to devour, to compare Omega and Porsche as two iconic brands known to be “built on loyalty”.
In 1845, the first watch manufacturer founded by A. Lange began its activity in a small Saxon town called Glashütte. For more than 165 years now and after an exciting and eventful history, the stronghold of German watchmaking beats to the rhythm of beautiful timepieces developed by some exceptional watchmaking house among which stands Glashütte Original.
A touch of femininity never hearts. Quite the contrary. We are not talking about the new member of Les Rhabilleurs’ Team here, but the subject that he brings back to us from one of the most beautiful Parisian Luxury House: Chanel. We now let you with our journalist Nicolas Salomon* and Mr Nicolas Beau - International director of Chanel Horlogerie – for a presentation of the already iconic: Chanel Premiere (second generation). “Action!”
Would Jean Dujardin be a nice watches enthusiast? We’ve seen him posing with a Rolex for WMagazine, receiving his Oscar with a Jaeger-LeCoultre on his wrist, he now appears with a beautiful F.P.Journe on theaters in his latest movie “Mobius”. If he physically improves himself with age, it seems to be the same in a watchmaking point of view!
Have you ever heard of Mellerio dits Meller? – No? – Nothing very surprising. Although little known to the general public, getting inside this House is yet going back to the origins of Parisian’s jewelery history. Nestled at 9 rue de la Paix, Mellerio is simply the oldest of the great Fine-Jewelery houses in Paris (but not only).
This is more than official now, Vacheron Constantin has opened its first exclusive boutique in Paris, 2 rue de la Paix. Unable to resist any longer, we went in this new mecca of Genevan Fine Watchmaking to discover some of the most beautiful pieces of the Vacheron Constantin boutique. Here are some pictures as if you were there! (BTW, do not hesitate to really go there if you can).
It is during SIHH 2013 that we got the news. Sébastien Loeb officially enters Richard Mille‘s ambassadors dream team. Our friend and journalist Hervé Borne* has interviewed him for this occasion. Read more…
This title is not necessarily appropriate. We shall conclude this 2012 retrospective not only by listing some of the best horological pictures of the year, but by 5 experiences, creations… of which we have witnessed during these last 12 months. Oh! By the way. We wish you a wonderful new year to you all! :)
