Lundis Bleus
W
hat’s in a Name? Lundis Bleus translates to Blue Mondays. Blue Mondays were a sort of self-awarded holiday that tended to have a
habit of recurring on a weekly basis with watch makers would simply give work a miss on Monday, sometimes Tuesday, even the
odd Wednesday every now and again.
Lundis Bleus produced their first watches in 2016. Founded by Johan Storni and Bastien Vuillomenet, friends since they met as students at
watch making school in La Chaux-des-Fonds back in 1994. Lundis Bleus is an overnight success story over 20 years in the making.
Look at any Lundis Bleus and what will catch your eye immediately is the dial. While several variations are available, perhaps the most strik-
ing offerings are the kiln-fired enamel dials of the “Contemporaines” series. But the Lundis Bleus time machines are not mere show ponies. They
are solid, reliable mechanical watches. Under the hood you will find either a Miyota 9015, or the ETA 2892 TOP. The logic is simple, the move-
ments are highly reliable, and easily serviceable. Because what is the point of owning a stunning looking watch if it just sits in your desk drawer
because you can’t get it serviced?
As of this press deadline, there is no formal distribution in North America for Lundis Bleus, but you can order direct from the brand.
