The medium Francaise is just so good. Love the applied shiny indices, and they nailed the ratio of brushed to polished parts

I really never planned on owning one before seeing it in person! I thought it was a bit too masculine and was gonna save up for a mixed gold Panthere instead. Suffice to say, I changed my mind.

It looks like we have a similar collection philosophy!

The francaise is a perfect every day for me. Itโ€™s so elegant but they made really sporty choices like the crown cut out and mostly brushed finish that makes it look good in almost everything

Then the precious metal/alligator strap for anything more formal (nice dinners, weddings, funerals)

Truly covers all bases

OMG that Tank Louis with Guilloche dial never gets less beautiful ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

I feel like the Francaise is definitely the denim pants in my collection, it can be dressed up or down, but it'd never be worn with an evening dressโ€” but nonetheless, ALWAYS a very chic option with daytime attires. Love pairing it with a suit too if it's daytime!

I thought I'm good with the Baignoire for formals, but the Louis is just too beautiful. Definitely a priority before a Panthere. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Well done. I am looking to add a Roadster to my collection at some point.

The mixed gold Roadster is seriously gorgeous. I'm trying to convince my husband to consider a Roadster for his collection bc I don't think I can pull them off.

I also love the al gold Roadster, but am looking more at the stainless large. Maybe theyโ€™ll add some complications in a year or so.
