Carl F. Bucherer Patravi TravelTec GMT FourX Watch Review

Carl F. Bucherer is a brand that I think you'll be hearing a lot more about in the next several years and today I'd like to review the Patravi TravelTec GMT FourX (ref. 00.10620.08.33.01).

It is a pretty fantastic creation and I would first like to thank Francois-Xavier Overstake of the French watch blog Equation du Temps for permission to show you these images of the J-B Viot In Paris watch that he took.
