π π π π π 5 star review from Mike Coyle: βββββ 5/5 Stars β La Touraine Commodore GMT: I Think Iβm in Love
Iβll be the first to admit, I didnβt need another watch. But since when has needing something ever had anything to do with buying a watch?
This is my fifth La Touraine watch, and Iβve already got more on pre-order. At this point, I think itβs safe to say Iβm no longer just a customer. Iβm either a collector, an unofficial brand ambassador, or a guy who desperately needs adult supervision when browsing watch websites.
My wife probably has an opinion on which one.
From the moment I put my Commodore GMT on my wrist, I knew Iβd made another great decision. Pictures really donβt do this thing justice. That black-and-blue bezel looks incredible in the sunlight, the black dial has a beautiful depth to it, and the Jubilee-style bracelet gives it that classy look I absolutely love.
What really impresses me about La Touraine, and why I keep coming back, is how much watch you get for the money. The Commodore feels substantial without being bulky, wears comfortably on my big wrist, and looks like something that should cost a whole lot more than it does.
Iβve caught myself checking my wrist several times without actually caring what time it is. If youβre a watch guy, you know exactly what Iβm talking about.
And letβs talk about that GMT function. Do I regularly need to know the time in another country? Absolutely not. Do I feel like an international man of mystery knowing I could? You bet your ass I do.
Iβve been collecting watches long enough to know that a great watch isnβt necessarily the most expensive one in the box. Itβs the one you find yourself reaching for, the one that makes you smile when you put it on. The Commodore is absolutely one of those watches.
Five La Touraines into this relationship, I can confidently say thereβs something about this brand that keeps bringing me back. And with more already on pre-order, apparently Iβm not planning on breaking up anytime soon.
Five stars, without hesitation. Great-looking watch, fantastic value, and another winner from La Touraine
