THE TISSOT CARMESTER

WHAT ONLY HUMAN HANDS CAN DO
We continue the story of Aaron Becsei, who polishes, spheres, and pearls a bunch of parts of his famous watches on the far earth - especially those that don't appear at all. If anyone were to raise their eyebrows with no sense, it would talk to you on the one hand and check out the previous Gentleman magazine for some art theory introduction on the other. Now, we're going deeper into the deep water: two finishing technologies, anglage and perlage. »

For safety's sake
We discussed at length why the adventurous gentleman's perfect watch is Breitling. Now there is another reason, more pressing than ever, especially if one takes the adventurous lifestyle very seriously.

The art of precision
There is a handmade watchmaking workshop in one of the most romantic parts of Germany, which has endured wars and crises for one and a half centuries devoted to the art of watchmaking. This is the Glashütte Original. It is enough to look at your collection to know that their profession is rightly called art. »
Alpha and omega
I understand everything. MI6 employs insensitive bastards who sacrifice anyone for the Queen and the homeland without any problems. You know ... The typical jumping eagle agent with a light smile and an expensive watch. Rolex? ”Asks Casino Royale femme fatale Vesper Lynd James Bond with a rude smile. "Omega," she replies with a light smile. "Beautiful." This half-minute scene tells more about the brand than any advertisement or brochure, but we went after the legend anyway. What does the watch James Bond is proud of? »

One hour around the Earth
A high-end watch is the minimum requirement to always show the exact time everywhere. It's not too much of a challenge for the timekeepers of homesteads, but what do those who travel between time zones choose? The third act of Gentleman's Breitling series reveals. »
Survive in style
For many people, the watch is just a symbol of a bygone age. They are the ones who do not see the difference between printed circuit board plastic and stylish engineering masterpieces. Well, even if they knew that some of these masterpieces could save their lives. »
For the sake of completeness
According to the wise, perfection does not exist, but it must be pursued. This is how we described the philosophy of the Breitling watch factory in Switzerland. He started out as a technological revolutionary, and today it is a line of name, style and sophistication. »
Longines brings Agassi
There are few ball sports where the match is not played on time. These include tennis, where an elegant, big-screen watch is an indispensable accessory to the center field, regardless of how long the two modern gladiators fight. While match lengths are really secondary, they provide most information to the statisticians, while the seconds between the ball passes, the first and second serve, and the odd boom breaks are increasingly tightened (interestingly, no one has thought that this could be shown to spectators) ). »
