PRESS

THE WATCH OBSERVER

“Sobriety and functionality are two terms perfectly suited to these watches.”

GROS CALIBRES

“This watch is simply perfect.”

AMATEUR DE MONTRES

“There is a real attention to detail and finishes.”

LE PETIT POUSSOIR

“Very pleasant dimensions, a look that is both simple and effective, and a stunning finish considering the very low price.”

FAM

“It gives off an undeniable impression of quality and solidity.”

LE POINT

“Pierre Leboucher wears a French BND Watches watch.”

PARLONS MONTRE

“The watch has a level of finish beyond what we see at this price level.”

LE PETIT POUSSOIR

“The total brushing, even on the hands, is a notable characteristic of this watch, which makes it an ideal Tool Watch.”

MON PETIT HORLOGER

“BND Watches wishes to offer the style and the  emotions of iconic watches from the golden age of watchmaking, with a coherent price, without compromising on the quality and level of finish of the parts.”

UHRENKOSMOS

“People with a limited budget and a soft spot for a wristwatch suitable for everyday use and a nostalgic look are in good hands with BND.”

MONTRES DE LUXE

“BND Watches offers a second version which aims to be more technically accomplished while retaining the aesthetic codes that made the success of the first.”

HEROES LIFE

“The young founder of the French watchmaker house BND Watches is a mysterious man who designs neo-vintage automatic watches at very soft prices.”

DIALICIOUS

“The finishes are really superb for the price.”

MONSIEUR MAGAZINE

“It launches a new neo-vintage and robust diver’s watch, with a sleek design.”

MONOCHROME WATCHES

“The crown is now screwed, thus offering better water-resistance.”

FRATELLO WATCHES

“If you want a good-looking dive watch for not a lot of money, I can’t think of a better offering at this price point.”

REVOLUTION WATCH

“The watches are also now fitted with double-domed sapphire crystals that have anti-reflective coating and, importantly, anti-fingerprint coating.”

LE POINT

“Compared to the initial models unveiled last year, BND Watches wanted to further improve the robustness of its watches and their ability to be used in all situations.”

THE WATCH OBSERVER

«The founder of BND Watches, an extreme perfectionist, has concentrated his work on a few details that allow this new trio to display a real move upmarket while preserving the charm of its first models.»

ATLANTICO

“We immediately understand that such a watch could have been found, as it is, on the wrist of Steve McQueen as well as that of Chuck Yeager, Neil Armstrong or Jean-Paul Belmondo.”

REVOLUTION WATCH

“The icing on the cake is a plexiglass crystal that gives the watch an authentic vintage vibe, that appeals to this fan of old dive watches.”

GQ

“This old-fashioned diver, here in blue but available in black or brown, is disarmingly simple, giving it a timeless chic with its unidirectional bezel, luminescent indexes and curved plexiglass.”

ORACLE TIME

“But the most interesting factor in the case’s refinement is the fact that the caseback is entirely bare, without so much as a hint of inscription, letting the watch speak for itself instead of having an exhaustive list of its specs on the back.”

EQUATION DU TEMPS

“Either way, the dial and watch case finishes are flawless for a piece of this price.”

NEUE UHREN

“A very affordable price for a vintage dress watch that can be worn on all occasions without having to worry about an expensive and valuable piece on the wrist.”

MONOCHROME WATCHES

“Great actors, race car/motorcycle riders and explorers had a lot of influence on the brand’s creator and he wanted the collection to reflect this period.”

TIME+TIDE WATCHES

“Vincent has understood that there is scope for great design on a budget, and it might mean working counterintuitively, contemplating which detail you can omit, not add.”

FRATELLO WATCHES

“A clever decision to use a double dome plexi crystal on a watch that is a homage to vintage divers.”

LE POINT

“Beyond their design that is both sporty and minimalist, these three watches, produced in 150 pieces per color, have the additional attraction of their very low price.”

L'OFFICIEL

“More than a tribute to a universe, a time machine that celebrates an era and its watchmaking know-how.”

MONSIEUR MAGAZINE

“The best ? The price, very soft, makes these watches real “tool watches” simple, robust and refined, ideal for facing winter and summer!”

JAMAIS VULGAIRE

The BND Watches brand succeeds in inscribing itself in the present while drawing inspiration from the past without falling into the already seen.

EUROPA STAR

“The logo represents the first 3 letters of the BND Watches brand. It is the diminutive of the brand’s creator last name.”

RETRO PASSION AUTOMOBILES

“The plexiglass has the advantage of allowing light to penetrate the dial better compared to mineral or sapphire crystal, while avoiding reflections.”

UN JOUR UNE MONTRE

“It’s anything but archaic, it’s simply a return to basics, that of the simple and robust toolwatch, which is made to be worn without asking questions.”

PARIS MATCH

“The result? Watches with a neo-vintage design, without compromise and at the best possible value for money.”

4H10

“BND Watches takes us back to the world of the 50s / 60s while adding a touch of modernity. A kind of neo-retro or modern Classic of the watch.”

COMME UN CAMION

“But beyond the enumeration of these vintage codes, we find the whole coherent and balanced: the design is really attractive! “

THE WATCH OBSERVER

“The founder of BND Watches offers us a nice trip down memory lane by returning the watch to its original vocation: to give the time in all circumstances and to be robust.”

LA PETITE TROTTEUSE

“This watch exudes passion for the vintage universe through technical characteristics such as the pierced lugs, the double dome plexiglass, the solid caseback, the non-telescopic pumps and the painted indexes.”

CAFE RACER ONLY

“Do not look, in the category, the quality / price ratio is unbeatable and it is not for nothing that collectors are to this day the first to reserve their model.”
