![]() Definitely a weird and cool watch that I’ve lusted after for years.Ĭhanel J12 Matte Black Ceramic 42mm H3131Ĭhanel popularized ceramic as a watch case material, and also helped usher in an era of well-made fashion watches. Large, and purposely made to show off its avant-garde design in the most modern-generation style, the Gefica made use of the brand’s popular jumping hour retrograde minute hand dial layout. The Gefica was said to be inspired by an African Safari and was probably the first luxury watch to feature bronze as a case material (it rarely gets credit for this). One of the last watch collections the brand produced ( before it was purchased and then consumed by Bulgari) was the modern generation Gefica, which was developed based on the original Gefica watches from the 1990s.

Someday, I think I’d like to own at least one example of each of these watches. Below the watches I mention will be a link to those available items on eBay, which in addition to supporting aBlogtoWatch will allow you to join me in seeing how many are currently available at any given time, and what they might cost these days. Just realize that I’m not trying to evangelize what my tastes are on to anyone else. We have a lot of opinions here, and it doesn’t bother me if you don’t like what I like. ![]() Additionally, its case can withstand water pressure at a depth of up to 300 meters, making it suitable for underwater activities.The following list of watches is a very personal selection, which represents a dimension of my own tastes and artistic preferences.
