Vacheron Constantin Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Ultra-Thin — three 36.5 mm interpretations that explain the complication through proportion, not spectacle.

8.43 mm case height keeps the profile calm. The dial stays architectural: month at 12, day at 9, date at 3, moon-phase and age at 6 — complexity, organized.

Inside: Calibre 1120 QP. 2.75 Hz, ~40 h reserve, 276 components, 4.05 mm high, finished to the Geneva Seal standard with a 22k gold rotor and Maltese-cross cut-outs.

Chanel J12 Calibre 12.1, 38 mm — white or black, same idea: ceramic as a daily tool.

38 × 12.6 mm, highly resistant CHANEL ceramic with steel details, a one-way steel bezel and a screw-down crown with ceramic cabochon. Lacquered dial kept clean, date kept practical. Inside: Calibre 12.1 automatic — 4 Hz, ~70 h reserve — visible through sapphire.

And 200 m water resistance that isn’t a headline, but a habit: swim, travel, wear it hard, wipe it clean.

CHANEL J12 Calibre 12.2, 33 mm — white high-resistance ceramic meets 18K yellow gold, with baguette-cut diamond markers that structure the dial more than they sparkle.

The signature detail is the fixed gold bezel paired with a white lacquered sapphire ring, cut in a baguette-style pattern. It’s a light tool: crisp reflections, clean framing, and a front view that stays graphic and calm.

On the wrist, 33 mm reads compact but present thanks to the 12.94 mm height. Screw-down crown, 50 m water resistance, and a ceramic bracelet with a gold centerline and triple-folding clasp keep the watch firmly in daily-wear territory.

Inside: Calibre 12.2 automatic with ~50 hours of power reserve—technical substance behind a design that’s all about proportion, edges, and controlled shine.

Stuttgart — Panerai × Wempe, a new boutique built for hands-on time. Dorotheen Quartier, Sporerstraße 16, opened on 18 July 2025 and already a quiet hub for Luminor, Radiomir and Submersible.

Salon, not showroom: warm wood, matte metal, clear sightlines. About 49 m² curated for trying on, comparing sizes, reading dials under direct light. Advisors and watchmakers on hand for real answers — from strap options and service intervals to the nuances between references.

Highlights at the table: Submersible as a true tool watch with a grippy bezel and assured water resistance, Radiomir with wire lugs and warm fumé tones that shift with the light, open-worked pieces that show bridges and depth without losing Panerai’s DNA. Even the brand’s vertical tourbillon architecture (P.2005 family) is explained clearly, without theatrics.

Pre-Christmas is the right moment: strong selection, unhurried conversations, and the small rituals that make a visit memorable — an espresso, a movement talk, then the decisive wrist test.

Munich, Maximilianstraße — Watchlounge × Bucherer CPO, an evening between opera views and watchmaking. A quiet salon above the boulevard, built for comparison, conversation, and hands-on time with curated icons.

Opening remarks set the tone: Christopher Gruß (Head of Bucherer CPO Germany) and David Schank (Watchlounge, Managing Director) on what certified pre-owned means at Bucherer — full authentication and refurbishment, documented provenance, water-resistance and function checks, each watch leaving with a two-year international warranty.

What mattered most: time at the wrist. References tried on, bracelets sized, proportions and patina judged under direct light; bezels and crowns with defined clicks; questions answered by sales specialists and watchmakers.

A portfolio with range — Rolex, Tudor, Omega, Audemars Piguet, Vacheron Constantin, Blancpain, Breguet, Cartier, Chopard, Bulgari — showing CPO as a stage for real choice. The lounge made the digital-to-physical path simple: discover online, confirm at the wrist.
