▶▶▶ BAROMONTRES 2024 #10 (October)
The facts, the men and the brands who influenced the watchmaking weather for this month of October 2024: tenth Barowatches of the year 2024, with twelve spotlights on the major climatological trends in watchmaking for this tenth month of the year.

▶▶▶ MEGALOPOLIS
A fantastic fantasy film about timebut it will take time to understand it: almost no one seems to have talked about it, but a fantastic film about time has just landed on our big screens: Megalopolis, a work described as “testamentary”, signed by Francis Ford Coppola, presented at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and released in European theaters a month ago… (Business Watches for October 30)
