Instead of the usual drawing on the cover, it is now a picture on the front page. It is a picture of an escapement wheel and its balance spring. It&#8217;s a change, and it&#8217;s enough to make these lines appear. Suddenly, tempted by the wish to browse the website, I typed what was logical for me: watcharound.ch (without Google or any other search engine). And there, surprise! I realized that a prominent journalist, also linked to a trade magazine (about swiss machinery market), had been there: indeed, the address redirects to his personal website. Did he buy this address before Jean-Philippe Arm&#8217;s magazine appeared on the scene? Or did he take advantage of a convenient gap, granting himself in a counterfeit way, the visits that honest Internet users, passionate about real watchmaking, try to do. In any case, the right address is enriched with a dash.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9795\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9795\" style=\"width: 292px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/watch-around-la-contrefacon-sen-prend-a-la-presse\/41figs5h2yl-_sx364_bo1204203200_\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9795\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-9796\" src=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/41FigS5H2yL._SX364_BO1204203200_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"292\" height=\"276\" srcset=\"https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/41FigS5H2yL._SX364_BO1204203200_.jpg 361w, https:\/\/swiss-watch-passport.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/41FigS5H2yL._SX364_BO1204203200_-300x283.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 292px) 100vw, 292px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9795\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">La couverture du magazine Watch Around<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And if the gentleman in question is reading these lines, please get rid of this address.
