Thanks, Dje!

The Hyperbare model with bubble inside the dial is most interesting!  I'd love to see that watch in person to witness how the bubble moves around the dial.  I imagine it skittering quickly as you move your arm.  Very cool!  Patton uses a unique font for their numeral "1" which I have never seen before.  Also, the crown guard reminds me a bit of a more modest version of the humongous trigger-like crown protector on a Graham Chronofighter.

Thanks for bringing this brand to our attention.  I like how the company is doing extensive tests with its watches.

Cheers,
Daos

I know the summer is soon coming to an end for the northern hemisphere, but summer is coming in the south, so let's not forget the water activities! The watches I want to present you are quite different from what I generally appreciate and try to share. I...  

Thanks Jérôme.

But I've never seen these watches place Vendôme... maybe the company has its office there but where can you find them ? Fr.Xavier

Thanks Francois-Xavier

Hi, The first watches were sold in 2009 and they opened at least one AD in Paris (9 rue du Marche Saint Honore), another one in Saint Tropez passage du port and a third one in Lorient. I don't think there are others so far but they are obviously willing t... 

Ok thanks ! [nt]

and style of Rachida Dati.... Sorry Dje, The joke was too beautiful...

I've never met Mrs Dati myself

Hi, I don't get parisian jokes you know! I'm just a little boy from the countryside! I guess a test of the watch by Mrs Dati would be interesting, she certainly has to face rough conditions! Cheers Dje

Sorry Dje, Mrs Dati is our previous Justice Minister, and the Minister of Justice in on

the Place Vendome... And Rachida Dati is famous for her taste of Luxe and "Bling Bling". Famous pics with a 15000€ ring: In France she's called, la Garde des Sceaux à Champagne, because the name of the justice minister is, the Keeper of Sceals....  

Some questions ...

 
 By: AndrewD : August 30th, 2009-15:12
Interesting Jerome. So this oil fills the entire internal case, including around the movement – it is not just between the watch face and dial? Does the bubble move slowly like air in oil or quickly like air in water? Does the oil provide a magnification ... 

You're welcome Andrew

Hi Andrew, Yes the oil fills the entire case (except the bubble). The speed of movement is hard to define! I would say between the two options you propose. It's an oil somewhat fluid, so certainly faster than in a real greasy oil. I've not noticed a magni... 

Thanks, Dje!

Hi, Thank you for your comments. Obviously there's some marketing too, but their tests are a reality that is really interesting and refreshing! Cheers Dje

Thanks, Very interesting and innovative watch.

Does the watch have 10 years warranty for the battery? Perhaps, this watch has given an answer to Mr. Breguet. "you give me perfect oil, I give you perfect watch.' Regards Ling

Thanks

Hi Ling, I guess the batteries do not have a 10P year warranty. It would have been specified. I don't think batteries are generally covered by warranties for watches, like the glass and straps are generally not covered! But I guess if you buy one and your...
