My dear fashionistas, I hope you are well and ready for a new fashion adventure from Qatar. The Middle East is an inspiration for fashion stories because of its unique oriental character that adorns it. That’s why I decided to show you a new watch from the elegant and refined Etrier line of the famous jeweler from Luxembourg – Schroeder Joailliers 1877.
Schroeder Joailliers was founded back in 1877, the official supplier of the Grand Ducal Court, which has a long family tradition behind it. In addition to its main jewelry store located in the heart of Luxembourg, this jewelry house also has its jewelry and watch workshop in Paris.
The pictures for today’s fashion story were created in the capital of the State of Qatar – Doha. At the very beginning, I would like to thank Visit Qatar for the kind invitation and hospitality. With their help, the travelogues and fashion stories that you will have the opportunity to read this April were created and I sincerely hope that you will enjoy them.
The story of Schroeder jewelry began back in 1860 when Mr. Lambert Schroeder left his hometown of Luxembourg to continue his training in London and the United States. A few years later when he returned to Luxembourg in 1877, he opened his goldsmith’s shop, in the same place where you can still find the Schroeder jewelry house today. Mr. Lambert Schroeder, in addition to being a skilled trader, translated his creativity and passion into the core values of the work policy of the Schroeder jewelry company. He had a great passion for making quality gold jewelry and was an ambitious innovator significantly ahead of his time.
His only son, Ferdi Schroeder, learned the engraver’s trade in Paris and took over the company with the difficult task of running it during the two world wars. His great skill in his art earned him the prestigious title of chief supplier to the court, which the Schroeder jewelry house still holds today. During 1979, the company was joined by Pierre Rossi, Lambert Schroeder’s grandson and current director of Schroeder Jewelry. Under his leadership, Schroeder jewelry expanded internationally by deploying to various markets and participating in various exhibitions and fairs on five continents.
The family tradition continues, so that at the head of the Schroeder jewelry company, in addition to Mr. Pierre Rossi and his wife, their daughters Anni and Sophie were also involved in making business decisions. This fifth generation continues the family tradition that is associated with traditional approach, knowledge and creativity.
Schroeder Jewelry Maison has a diverse range of sophisticated luxury jewelry, watches and fashion accessories for her and him, which will complement your style and bring freshness to your everyday life.
Today I present to you a new, redesigned look of the dial, which is the result of the creative skills of co-owner Gaby Schroeder, who, in cooperation with the most eminent Swiss manufacturers, created a new look for the Etrier watch collection of the Schroeder jewelry house. Traditional classics with the best Swiss movements have received a new modern look!
Redesigned Schroeder “Etrier” steel watch with chronograph function and date display, silver dial with Arabic numerals and rose gold-tone indexes, quartz movement and brown calfskin strap with white stitching.
There are different models for men in the Etrier collection, the watch I am wearing today is with a brown-camel leather bracelet and a gold color case with a diameter of 41 mm. The models in the Etrier collection can be made in leather or metal bracelets, you can see more models at this link.

Loro Piana is an Italian company specialised in clothing and textile products. This fashion house is considered the largest producer of cashmere and also the world’s largest artisanal company processing the luxury fiber.
The Loro Piana company has three divisions (textile divisions): a division that deals with the production of high-quality materials using precious fibers such as cashmere and baby cashmere, vicuna, linen and merino wool, a division that deals with the creation of luxury fashion items (production and distribution of men’s, women’s clothing, footwear and fashion accessories) and the interior design department – production and distribution of interior design products.
In today’s post you have the opportunity to see two special pieces (a t-shirt and the trousers) from the latest men’s Loro Piano SS collection, which are just a small part of my favorites this season due to their distinctive elegance and my love for neutral pastel colors. Crafted from 100% silk, this polo t-shirt is perfect for the man who pays attention to detail and leaves nothing to chance.
This short-sleeved T-shirt in soft white and nude tones, the color which are perfect for all occasions and can be combined with other colors extremely easily. Trousers are made of linen, the best friend which you can have during warm spring and summer high temperatures.

Today we’re meeting again with Fratelli Rossetti, an iconic Italian footwear brand that I’m sure everyone is familiar with for their comfortable shoes made from the highest quality materials. Fratelli Rossetti footwear is fantastic for the reason that this brand makes classic shoes that are elegant and simply eternal, shoes for all times!
Fratelli Rossetti in its collections for men has timeless classic iconic models that you can find all year in their offer, some of the models are: Brera, Brera Sport, Hobo Sport, Yacht and La Giusta.
In today’s post I present you one of the Brera models. How did this model get its name? Brera is the “art district” of Milan, where in the 60s sculptors, painters and writers tried to leave their mark, with new languages and new forms. Its liberal and open atmosphere inspired the creation of the “Brera”, the fringed moccasin, a style revolution just beginning to rediscover its love of life. Like an artistic composition, Brera combines different materials and colors. This special mix of materials and shapes makes the moccasin one of the most successful chapters in Fratelli Rossetti’s history.
This model of the Brera moccasin you can see on me in today’s post is made of soft, finely finished open weave leather with evenly spaced holes on the upper. Special high-quality workmanship. These shoes have a leather sole.

Dear Marko, your smile always makes me happy and brightens my day! Your adventure in Doha was amazing and I enjoyed your Instagram stories and your travelogues with great pleasure. Can you tell me how many more travelogues you have about Doha and when you will start your adventure from China?
Dear Victoria, I would first like to take the opportunity to thank you for taking the time to read my blog and take the time to write me a message. Thank you for the wonderful words and compliments, as for the travelogue, there will be the last travelogue from Doha and it will be published this Friday, while there will be more fashion stories from Doha. Next week I will start with travelogues from China. I hope you will enjoy!
Best,
Marko
This watch is very nice and not expensive, I expected it to cost more than 2500 euros because of the aesthetics, but I was blown away by the price! Is it possible to exchange bracelets? For example, I would also like a dark brown bracelet. Thank you for your time and I admire your dedication to write such beautiful and useful fashion stories and interesting travelogues for your readers. Best regards from Lausanne, Bruno
Dear Marko, I really like your outfit, and you look better than ever! I need to know what is your secret to an ideal weight?! I’m trying with various diets and exercises, but I’m not doing well, I’ve been trying for two years and I’ve lost 3-4 kilos, and I’ve gained at least 6 kilos! I love your t-shirt and this lovely elegant watch!
The adventure in Doha really pleased you, as can be seen from your smile and mood! You have wonderful fashion stories and the right summer outfits, you are really always absolutely dressed according to every occasion.
This is truly an exceptional outfit with a sublime style that not everyone can pull off. The watch is very beautiful, elegant and refined, especially with gold details, it looks perfect, just like a masterpiece.
Hi Marko, what a refined way to present a watch from Qatar. The Schroeder Etrier intrigues me because a jeweller’s own timepiece, backed by a house founded in 1877 and supplying the Grand Ducal Court, carries a story most mainstream brands lack. The silver dial with Arabic numerals and rose-gold-tone indexes looks beautifully balanced on that brown calfskin strap. I wear a Frederique Constant Classics myself, but the Etrier’s understated elegance speaks to me. Do you know whether the 41mm gold-tone case wears true to size, or does the warm tone make it appear a touch larger against the Doha… Read more »
Caro Marko, che bella avventura da Doha. Indosso i mocassini Brera di Fratelli Rossetti da tempo e confermo che quella tessitura aperta è perfetta per la primavera. Sapere che il nome viene dal quartiere degli artisti di Milano rende la scarpa ancora più affascinante. L’orologio Schroeder al polso aggiunge la nota elegante giusta a un look così luminoso. Hai colto perfettamente lo spirito orientale di Doha in questo servizio.
Lieber Marko, ein eleganter Beitrag aus dem fernen Katar. Mich fasziniert, dass Schroeder die Etrier-Linie gemeinsam mit Schweizer Manufakturen neu gestaltet hat, federführend von Gaby Schroeder. Ein Juwelier mit Sitz in Luxemburg und Werkstatt in Paris hat eben eine ganz eigene Handschrift. Ich trage eine Maurice Lacroix, doch dieser silberne Zifferblatt mit roségoldenen Indizes gefällt mir sehr. Weißt du, ob die Etrier auch mit einem Metallband statt des Kalbslederarmbands erhältlich ist?
Bonjour Marko, quel plaisir de découvrir une maison luxembourgeoise comme Schroeder Joailliers. Fondée en 1877 et fournisseur de la Cour grand-ducale, elle a une histoire que peu de marques peuvent revendiquer. J’apprécie que l’atelier d’horlogerie se trouve à Paris, ce qui ajoute une touche bien française. Le cadran argenté de l’Etrier avec ses chiffres arabes est d’une sobriété élégante. Doha offre un décor somptueux pour mettre en valeur une telle montre.
Hola Marko, una historia preciosa desde Doha. Me parece fascinante que Schroeder sea joyero oficial de la Corte Gran Ducal de Luxemburgo desde el siglo diecinueve. El Etrier, con su caja dorada de 41 mm y su esfera plateada, transmite una elegancia muy clásica. Llevo un Longines de cuarzo y entiendo bien el atractivo de un buen movimiento suizo en una pieza tan refinada. ¿Recomendarías un reloj de cuarzo como este para quien busca elegancia sin el mantenimiento de un mecánico?
Marko, a beautifully composed story from the Gulf. I bought a Loro Piana silk piece after one of your earlier reviews, so I can vouch for how special that fabric feels in warm climates. The white and nude polo here looks ideal for Doha’s heat, and pairing it with the Schroeder Etrier adds a quiet touch of refinement. I admire that you give a jeweller’s house watch the same attention you would a famous Swiss name. The whole look feels perfectly suited to the elegance of the Marsa Malaz Kempinski setting.
Beste Marko, wat een verfijnde modestory uit Doha. De Schroeder Etrier sprak me meteen aan, vooral omdat het een huiseigen horloge is van een juwelier uit Luxemburg met wortels tot 1877. Zelf draag ik een Tissot met quartzuurwerk, maar de zilveren wijzerplaat met roségouden indexen heeft hier echt iets bijzonders. De bruine kalfsleren band met witte stiksels past prachtig bij de warme tinten. Weet je of de chronograaffunctie ook een aparte datumweergave heeft naast de telfuncties?
Witaj Marko, przepiękna opowieść z Kataru. Imponuje mi, że Schroeder to dom jubilerski założony w 1877 roku, dostawca dworu wielkoksiążęcego Luksemburga. Etrier z kopertą w kolorze złota i srebrną tarczą ma w sobie klasyczną szlachetność. Sam noszę Certinę z kwarcowym chronografem, więc doceniam dobre szwajcarskie wnętrze w eleganckiej oprawie. Doha stanowi olśniewające tło dla tak wyrafinowanego zegarka.
Hi Marko, a thoroughly enjoyable read with real depth. I appreciate that you note the Etrier uses a quartz movement paired with the finest Swiss manufacturing, since that combination offers reliability and precision at a sensible level. For a dress chronograph worn in a hot climate like Doha’s, low maintenance is genuinely an advantage. I own a Raymond Weil quartz chrono and value exactly that practicality. Could you tell me whether the rose-gold-tone indexes catch the light too much, or do they stay legible at a glance?
Caro Marko, complimenti per questo racconto raffinato dal Qatar. Trovo affascinante che la storia di Schroeder inizi nel 1860, quando Lambert partì per formarsi a Londra e negli Stati Uniti. Quel quadrante argentato con numeri arabi ha un fascino senza tempo. Io possiedo un Baume & Mercier al quarzo e capisco bene l’eleganza discreta di un orologio cosi. La cinghia in pelle di vitello marrone è la scelta perfetta per la stagione calda.
Olá Marko, que história deslumbrante desde Doha. Fiquei encantado por descobrir a Schroeder Joailliers, fornecedora oficial da Corte Grão-Ducal do Luxemburgo desde 1877. O Etrier, com a sua caixa dourada de 41 mm e mostrador prateado, transmite uma elegância intemporal. A bracelete em pele de vitelo castanha com costura branca combina lindamente com os tons quentes do deserto. Achas que este modelo se adapta tanto a um look formal como a um mais descontraído de verão?
Marko, this is exactly the kind of considered watch writing I look forward to. The Schroeder Etrier, redesigned by co-owner Gaby Schroeder with Swiss makers, proves that a jeweller’s house can produce a genuinely elegant timepiece. The silver dial against the gold-tone case and brown strap is a classic, warm combination. I have admired independent and family-run houses for years, and a fifth-generation maison like this is a rarity worth supporting. Set against the architecture of Doha, the whole image feels wonderfully cohesive.
Lieber Marko, eine herrliche Frühlingsgeschichte aus Doha. Es beeindruckt mich, dass die Familientradition bei Schroeder über fünf Generationen reicht, bis hin zu Pierre Rossi und seinen Töchtern Anni und Sophie. Der Etrier mit Chronographenfunktion und Datumsanzeige wirkt klassisch und doch modern. Ich trage eine Junghans, schätze also klares Design, und diese silberne Zifferblatt gefällt mir entsprechend. Würdest du diesen Chronographen eher als Alltagsuhr oder als festliche Begleitung einordnen?
Hola Marko, una crónica espléndida desde el Golfo. Compré una camiseta de seda de Loro Piana tras una de tus historias y sigue siendo de mis prendas favoritas para el calor. El reloj Schroeder Etrier aporta el toque de refinamiento perfecto a un conjunto tan luminoso. Me parece admirable que una casa joyera de Luxemburgo cuide cada detalle con movimientos suizos. Doha, con su carácter oriental, es el escenario ideal para una pieza tan elegante.
Hi Marko, a refined and informative post. The Schroeder Etrier appeals to me precisely because the collection can be ordered with either a leather or a metal bracelet, which makes it remarkably versatile. That kind of flexibility is something I always look for in a dress watch. I currently wear an Oris with a leather strap, but the warm gold-tone case here is very tempting. Do you find the brown calfskin strap holds up well to the heat and humidity of a climate like Doha’s, or would you switch to metal there?
Cher Marko, ton sens du détail est toujours admirable. J’apprécie que tu rappelles que Ferdi Schroeder apprit la gravure à Paris et dirigea la maison à travers les deux guerres mondiales. Une telle continuité familiale donne une âme à chaque montre Etrier. Le cadran argenté aux index dorés s’accorde parfaitement avec les tons sable de Doha. C’est une pièce sobre qui raconte plus d’un siècle d’histoire au poignet.
Caro Marko, una storia di moda davvero ispirata dal Qatar. Indosso da anni i mocassini Brera di Fratelli Rossetti e confermo che la pelle traforata è perfetta per la primavera. La camicia in seta Loro Piana nei toni nude completa il look con grande raffinatezza. L’orologio Schroeder, con la sua cassa dorata, aggiunge il tocco di eleganza orientale che si sposa con l’atmosfera di Doha. Hai costruito un insieme luminoso e armonioso fino all’ultimo dettaglio.
Marko, a genuinely engaging read for any watch lover. The Etrier’s blend of a Luxembourg jeweller’s heritage with a Swiss movement is an unusual and appealing pairing. I wear a Frederique Constant Slimline, so I gravitate toward clean, classic dials exactly like this silver one. The rose-gold-tone indexes give it just enough warmth without tipping into flashiness. Could you tell me roughly where the Etrier sits in price, since a jeweller-house chronograph at a reasonable level would be very tempting?
Witaj Marko, znakomita wiosenna opowieść z Doha. Bardzo cenię, że przybliżasz markę Schroeder, dom jubilerski wierny tradycji od pięciu pokoleń. Etrier z chronografem i datownikiem łączy klasykę z nowoczesnym wyglądem. Sam noszę Tissota, ale srebrna tarcza z arabskimi cyframi ma w sobie wyjątkowy urok. To dowód, że elegancki zegarek może opowiadać historię sięgającą XIX wieku.
Lieber Marko, eine wunderbar elegante Geschichte aus dem Orient. Doha ist eine faszinierende Kulisse, und der Schroeder Etrier passt perfekt zu dieser raffinierten Atmosphäre. Dass ein Luxemburger Juwelier seine eigene Uhrenlinie mit Schweizer Werken fertigt, finde ich bemerkenswert. Das braune Kalbslederarmband mit weißer Naht verleiht der Uhr eine warme, sommerliche Note. Ein gelungenes Zusammenspiel von Tradition und modernem Design.
Marko, what a sophisticated spring story from Qatar. The Schroeder Etrier stands out for me because it carries the weight of a maison founded in 1877, yet feels entirely contemporary in its redesigned form. I wear a vintage quartz chronograph from the eighties, so I have a soft spot for a clean, well-proportioned dial like this one. The gold-tone case against the desert backdrop of Doha makes for a striking image. It is refreshing to see a jeweller’s timepiece given the spotlight it deserves.
Hi Marko, a fitting close to your Qatari fashion adventure. The Etrier, with its silver dial, Arabic numerals and brown calfskin strap, embodies exactly the restrained elegance I admire in a dress watch. Knowing it comes from a fifth-generation Luxembourg house with a workshop in Paris only adds to its appeal. I have long preferred quietly distinguished watches over loud status pieces, and this fits that philosophy perfectly. Could you tell me whether Schroeder ships its Etrier models internationally, or are they mainly available through their Luxembourg maison?
