Some journeys are about escape, others about discovery. And sometimes, they stem from a deeper need - a necessity woven into the daily lives of those who, like Florian, live between two continents. Between Montreal and Paris, he chose the SERICA 8315 and shares his story…

Constantly between two time zones - how does your watch support you in this life shared between these two cities ?
As a Frenchman living in Quebec for several years now, splitting my time between Montreal and Paris means constantly navigating two time zones - both in my personal and professional life, as I’m often in touch with colleagues, clients or partners in France.
My 8315 is a visual and emotional anchor I carry with me every day. Its bezel and GMT hand connect me to where I’m not, and serve as a reminder that my daily life is split between two worlds I deeply care about.

What time of day - here or there - holds the most value to you?

Mornings in Montreal often coincide with peak activity in Paris (with a 6-hour time difference). It’s a short but intense window, and my watch reminds me to make the most of it. It helps me structure my conversations, thoughts, and lifestyle between two cities that never sleep at the same time.

How does your environment influence your personal style - between the understated elegance of Paris and the energy of Montreal - and how does your SERICA 8315 fit into this duality ?

My style shifts between vintage tailoring, western, streetwear, and pieces rooted in French workwear. Paris taught me a sense of balance and sophistication; Montreal gave me boldness. For me, the SERICA 8315 GMT perfectly reflects that tension: a very clean, unusual, and elegant design that feels almost minimal at first glance, yet reveals a unique personality and a reassuring robustness.
