Now that the summer season is finally behind us, how sad it may sound, it is time for us to return to our normal life. No more fun in the sun, no more beach days, no more nightly backyard parties … Although I dram a little here, it is a natural fact that most of us enjoyed most of us our summer vacation and will be back at work. Young people will have gone to school again or maybe even started their first jobs and so on. Whatever the situation, one question always arises: what do you wear? Of course something mechanical, and we have set up a number of very solid options for classrooms and meeting room, from very affordable to a little more expensive, but never out of reach!
Citizen Mechanical Day/Date NY4058 – EUR 219 EUR
At the beginning we decided on the mechanical day/date of Citizen, NY4058, which comes to an incredible entry EUR 219 only! For this you get a stylish watch with an elegant undertone and your own automatic movement. Thanks to the black leather strap, the black is best suited for the office thanks to the black leather strap. The dial is nicely done and not only shows the time, but also the day of the week and the date. The movement runs up to 42 hours, which is completely acceptable.

Tissot Le Lolle Powermatic 80 Grün – 725 EUR
The Tissot Le Lolle Powermatic 80 is another added value in Switzerland. Thanks to the multi-link bracelet, it offers something sportier, but it would look just as good on a leather strap. We chose the green, which contains a beautifully detailed dial with a pattern of Clous de Paris, applied Roman digits, leaf -shaped hands and a date at 3 '.

When it comes to good, sensible watchmaking, Seiko must not be overlooked. Many of his collections have a very strong supporter and fit perfectly with our scenario “Back to Work/School/Life”. We have selected the new SPB529 of the Presage Classic series, which gives a golden brown coin edge bezel, a light brown gradient dial and a leather strap made of high-quality Japanese shoemaker.

Danger Lissom 'Lindley – 1.350 EUR
From Great Britain we selected the harder lissom. This time is only available in some color variations, and we chose the purple and powder blue “Lindley”.

The colorful dial is completed with white hands and lumicast markings and is welcomed around the back of La Joux-Perrets D100-Manual-Wund movement.

Frederique Constant Classics Premiere Salmon – 1,950 EUR
If you have a little more budget, the premiere salmon from Frederique Constant Classics fits perfectly. What impressed us immediately was the multi-stage salmon dial with a granular texture in the middle and a circular “ring” for the applied markings. The entire size and shape of the watch are exactly right. It is equipped with the Kaliber FC-301 based on the La Joux-Perret G100. First it was presented on a matt nubuck leather band, but is now also available on a very cool multi-link bracelet. It sells for 1.995 EUR on leather or EUR 2,095 in full steel.
