Horological Meandering

It is always interesting to discover the initial steps of a new brand. We try to understand the reasons behind the project, we wish to know the strategy and above all... we are very curious to discover the first watches. Will they bring something new ? Wh...  

They have some coherence in the design that appeals to me when so many other "modern" watch design attempts I've seen in the past 10 years seem to be more chaotic. Thanks for the info. Where is he located? Did I miss details of the location of workshops? ... 

Thanks for your comments. Benjamin is based in Besançon but the watches are assembled in the Concepto premises (La Chaux de Fonds). Fx

...good? Secondly, is it different? I have no doubts that it's good: the conception and finishing are excellent. Not so sure it's that different: the aesthetic reminds me of Mille, even the Linde Werdelin SpidoLite, and not just because of the name. You c... 

As always, the answers of these questions will be brought... by the clients. You have the feeling of the creator and the feeling of the audience. About the prices, I can give you the following figures for the european market, I don't have them for the oth...

here He goes off to a GREAT START !!! Beautiful Watches.. Bravo. Thanks for the Report.

I like them both quite a bit. Best of luck to Mr. Muller with his new watches. Darren

I like the look of it - both. Simple yet shows the "mechanical" side and very tempting to the "boys" like us. Only wish I have for them it to make the case tad smaller.... Hour/Minute version would be much nicer if it were smaller and thinner. Having said... 

as they are often too busy. These both seem less cluttered. My only negative comment is price. 30K euros seems high for the hour/minute model. If compared to Linde Werdelin and Richard Mille it obviously falls in between. I like these watches more than bo... 

I've seen a few Concepto tourbillons this year and this is one of the nicer ones... thanks doe the report A

Thanks once again, foversta, for a terrific review and great photos. You have managed to show and tell absolutely everything that we would hope to know about these new pieces. Why does it seem as if almost everyone feels the need to burst onto the scene w...

do we need yet another tourbillon ? the tourbillon does look better than the hour minute, but i just seem to be tourby'd out. everything new you see nowadays has one on it. it would be nice to see a good new design without one for a change. apart from tha... 

In a pure watchmaking point of view, yes, the market is already full of Tourbillons... despite the fact that there are hundreds of different ones, we have the feeling that it is a pure overload. But we have to consider that there is an increasing demand f... 

i see your point Fx, but i see it as a way for a new company to justify the huge prices they charge for their pieces. the vast majority of tourbillons are, in my opinion, just there to up the price so that only the dedicated and wealthy have access to the... 

“… a way for a company to justify the huge prices they charge …” Hi Graham, I don’t view it quite this negatively. I like the fact that there are a whole range of watches out there from time only, machine finished pieces to rare Grand Sonnerie tourbillons... 

ah Andrew, i think you got me there perhaps what i meant to say was that all the new watches i like, ie, those with unusual displays and innovative design, have tourbillons. this immediately puts them well out of my purchasing bracket and i just get a lit...  

Hi Graham, your quite right. And unfortunately we all have this problem to some degree. There are desirable watches that we will never own either because of rarity or price. But luckily for us there are enough vintage Omegas out there to keep us happy. A

Nice phrase Graham. I know you meant "a reasonably-priced, locally-brewed alcoholic beverage" but the English language does permit some interesting twists on meaning! Mike

the one with. Both really neat and refreshing designs. I would rock either one, thanks for posting.
