This is a description of a Louis Bolle Solstice. This has been a great watch, It looks as good as the day I got it almost 3 years ago, and it keeps excellent time.

  • BECAUSE IT'S MECHANICAL!

    All high-grade watches change over past the hour. Multi-complication mechanical watches are designed so the actuator engages the indicator right around midnight, but in order to keep the mainspring from losing any energy, it takes several minutes for the gearing to flip the indicator hand over.

    You should try making one of these pieces of junk.

  • Okay, that certainly sounds plausible.

  • have you heard of a louis bolle having a wind speed meter?

  • nope!

  • i love mine to bought it in 2005/6

  • Louis Bolle make the greatest watches and its a pleasure to own one!

  • why would it change to monday at 20 past 1? junk imo.

  • I wouldn't agree. I think a higher-purity is a fetish in fashion. The higher the better. Majority of gold watches are still 14k, I think. For instance titan-made watches are almost impossible to polish back, but titan is a synonym to high-tech so widely used in sports-kind of watches

  • Just guessing here, but maybe they use 18K so scratches can be buffed out with less buffing time and less material removed. 9K is probably a bear to get scratches out of.

  • absolutely right. As far as I know only very expensive fashion watches are made with 18k - but why? more purity - more softness. interestingly in 20s and up they started with 9k, then 14k became a standard. why? technological issues? but recently I came across a 18k case from early 20s! when rolex was in a huge production of 9k cases
