222 or the story of the unexpected gold watch

 
 By: Jp75 : July 13th, 2023-09:52
Wanted to briefly share with you my impressions after some weeks having the 222 on my wrist: To start at the beginning, I must confess that the 222 is a watch which I appreciated when it was released but never thought I would ever get. Its strictly limite...  

This is a beautiful piece and it looks

phenomenal on you. (It obviously goes perfectly with your wedding band, too.) Its strong vintage vibe and its crispness make this near irresistible in my opinion. Cheers Marc P.S. You wear it on the snug side, don't you?

Thanks!

Thanks - indeed the bracelet sizing was not so easy and since it is rather heavy, I went for a tight fit which make sure the watch doesn’t rotate around the wrist. And then the weight disappeared totally!

Huge congrats, it looks really great on you! 👌🏻

I also prefer these type of watches with more casual attires. I would love to own one, although never seen one in the flesh. Enjoy it in the best health!

Agreed that gold watches worn casually are great - and it tones them down

👍🏻

I actually ordered one last year at the NY Boutique, but never heard back from them...

A beautiful watch!

Looks great on your wrist. I agree that while not exactly under the radar, this reference does not scream look at me like other gold watches. Excellent choice.

Thanks

I'm a big fan of this release, love the brushed YG

Indeed I never realized by causal look at the press pictures how much the brushed aspect of YG was changing the overall appearance.

Wow

I just love this watch. This has got to be my all-time favorite gold bracelet watch. Congratulations on owning it, it looks like FUN to wear!

This is a beautiful watch, enjoy!

Even though it’s a fully gold watch it is very sporty and goes better with casual, sportier, smart/chique attires very well imo. Ever since I saw this watch worn by bread pitt I realized that it’s a very versatile piece, I am aware that I am no bread pitt... 

Oh wow! Just perfection!

Nice photos of a beautiful watch - well done!

I had a chance to grab one once and wavered, alas.

Alas 😳

Hope that the opportunity arises again for you as it is very nice indeed! As far as I understand it, it is not limited edition but rather a limited production watch (Was discussing with the lovely team at the boutique and understood that the production is... 

Big congrats!

Glad you like it! My favorite is still the 82172 in white gold. Every time I go to the Paris boutique they're sold out!

Lovely 82172 - good luck

 
 By: Jp75 : July 14th, 2023-06:28
As you might know, I really like the 82172 too. Very minimalistic appeal with great 4400 movement inside. Reg the WG version, must confess that I wasn’t sure whether that is still produced (but if they say sold out, it probably means that it is still in c... 

I think they've discontinued the white gold one...

That's the impression I've gotten.

Thanks Nico!

Thanks Nico ! To tease you and all car lovers on WPS, herewith a picture I took in front of the boutique whichI had shared at the time (PS: Unfortunately not mine) Jerome ...  

WOW what an amazing watch 👏 congratulations and wear it in good health

it looks amazing on your wrist. Excellent review, indeed the brushed gold makes it somehow more discreet. 👏 congratulations Christian

Many thanks Christian!

Was rereading recently some of your recent photo essays on your new watches incl the YG Unico which is also brushed as well isn’t? Jerome

Thanks for your comment; I was indeed surprised to see during one walk in the woods how the gold was “softly glowing” in spite of low luminosity and being brushed Jerome

Jerome, the 222 looks brilliant on you!

And your pictures demonstrate the incredible versatility of the watch. Heartiest congratulations on landing such an beautiful piece!

Many thanks Rhyzen!
