Louis Pion original watch

[Johndalar]

This is a testimony.

Flee Louis Pion watches.

Indeed, Louis Pion announces on his site

"Revision, repair, battery or strap change, water resistance check, we know the right things to do to ensure a long life for your watch."

The long life of a Louis Pion watch is actually reduced to less than 4 years.

As far as I am concerned, I asked my expenses and the LP Service to replace the broken glass of a watch bought at the end of 2010 and worth 130EURO.
Answer by Louis Pion: we have no more replacement glass; we are therefore in the middle of the consumer society of the type we buy and throw.

I am therefore obliged to buy another watch that will not, of course, be an LP.
Buy a brand watch instead. These brands offer watches at comparable prices but with a stock of spare parts to announce a real long life to your watch.

Would not it be wiser to flee all watches, as they are all the clocks of our lives?

Hello,

Louis Pion is not watches, that's for sure! (In fact, for an enthusiast, quartz watches are worse than anything.) A real watch is necessarily mechanical, whether manual winding or automatic)

It's fashionable daube, like Fossil or the like, Chinese stuff that is sold for a short time, in a fleeting fashion.

I'm a watch fanatic, I have two or three "real watches", but it is clear that it is not the same price ...

Here are two or three:



On the right, my current Tag Heuer Carrera Day & Date chronograph, and on the left, the one I just ordered: An Omega Ploprof.





Here, my "old" Oris Big Crown Regulator, I really like this watch because it was my first purchase "with the heart".

I still have others (Rado Original, and pocket watches, but I do not have photos on hand ...)

In short, good luck for the future, and do not hesitate to ask questions about forums specialized (like FAM, for example).

Edit: Here is a picture where there is the Rado, in the millieux:



Re-edit: I found photos of one of my pocket watch:







Very rare, with a movement made at the time by Longines.
