Our watch-buying guide

As jewelers and watchmakers, we share our expertise with you, to help you find your way around the world of watches. At once technical, practical and thematic, our watch buying guide will help you make an informed choice from among the many models available on the market. You'll also learn how to use and, above all, care for your watch, whichever you prefer to wear on your wrist.

Choosing the right watch

From price to style to mechanism, the choice of a watch is at the crossroads of many criteria, from the most technical to the most personal. Automatic, connected, sporty, classic... in addition to these broad categories of watches, you'll also learn how to choose among the materials used for dials and bracelets.

Our tips for using your watch

Today, knowing how to use your watch goes far beyond simply telling the time. Between an automatic watch, a quartz model and a hi-tech connected watch that will accompany you in your professional life or sporting activities, the uses and possibilities open to you are very different.

How to care for your watch

Changing the battery, recharging, cleaning, changing the strap... it's essential to look after your watch in order to keep it in good working order for as long as possible. Find out how to keep your watch in perfect working order, depending on the model, mechanism, age, water-resistance and materials used!
