The Collector’s Series – @edthezilla and his F.P. Journe Tourbillon Souverain calibre 1403

Instagram is a source of inspiration and it proves to be a superb platform to meet like-minded people. For me, this means an Instagram feed of watches, watches, watches, and… watches. It is also the perfect platform to decide who sees your posts and with whom you want to be in touch, it offers a lot of privacy if you want that. And getting in touch is easy, peer to peer, and only if both parties are interested in getting in touch. One of the persons I’m in touch with goes by the Instagram name Edthezilla. Now I’m typing his IG name, I realize that I never asked why on Earth he calls himself Edthezilla. Anyways, we discuss watches, both his and mine. He owns quite a collection, comprising some of the most desirable modern Rolex and Patek sports watches, some very nice vintage Speedmasters and F.P. Journe. Quite a few Journe’s actually and when I asked him to participate in our Collector’s Series he immediately told me that he wanted to talk about the FP Journe Tourbillon Souverain Calibre 1403.

Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Skeleton Watch Hands-On

I still feel cautious when calling one of the most prominent and successful luxury brands a plucky underdog, but I’ll do it anyway because that is what Bulgari largely remains in the field of watchmaking; and that is also why I enjoyed going hands-on with their latest and greatest thinnest statement-watch if there ever was one, the Bulgari Octo Finissimo Tourbillon Skeleton.

Germain Baillot Concept Watch

The Germain Baillot Concept Watch is a radical, neo-futurist concept watch straight outta the jet age, equipped with two complications: a 24-hour GMT world timer and a vertical tourbillon. While still purely hypothetical, as a concept, we think it is worthy of attention and discussion.
