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 the Visit Qatar for the warm invitation and hospitality. With their help, the travelogues and fashion stories that you had the opportunity to read this season were created, and I sincerely hope that you enjoyed 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.

Mein lieber Lieblingsabenteurer, abgesehen davon, dass du gute Reiseberichte schreibst und weißt, wie du den Menschen jedes Reiseziel beschreiben kannst, an dem du dich befindest, hast du wirklich einen großartigen Sinn für Mode. Sie haben einen besonderen und raffinierten Modegeschmack und sehen immer wie ein echter Gentleman aus. Dein Outfit ist toll, aber die Uhr ist toll! Eine so teure Uhr am Handgelenk zu haben, ist eine Errungenschaft und ich sehe wirklich gerne junge und talentierte Menschen. Mit FG Robert
Dear Marko, this is a fantastic outfit! Everything is fine and dandy, but the watch is truly a dream come true! I have never seen a more beautiful and elegant watch, you proved that such an expensive watch does not have to be worn exclusively with a suit and that it is possible with a relaxed and elegant summer outfit on the beach.
You are living my dream! I would like to travel the world like that, wearing world luxury fashion labels and beautiful watches. I am impressed by your work because I have been following your blog for years and it is noticeable how you have progressed over the years and you deserve such success. You have always been there for your readers and I follow you on Instagram and you are always regular with your stories on the blog, every week you write one or two blog posts, which is really commendable!
Dear Marko, you look great and you dressed fantastically, but really this time your watch really stole my heart! This watch is EXTRAORDINARY!
Hi Marko, what a stunning piece to feature from Doha. A hand-skeletonized, hand-engraved Etrier built on the Valjoux 7750 base is genuinely the work of art your title promises. I love that you can watch the mechanism breathe through the openworked dial, with those blued screws catching the light. I wear an Oris Artelier Skeleton myself, but the engraving here looks far more artisanal. Do you find a skeleton dial harder to read at a glance in bright sunlight, especially against the brightness of the Gulf?
Caro Marko, che meraviglia questo servizio dal Qatar. Indosso i mocassini Tod’s da anni e confermo che la pelle scamosciata con quei dettagli incisi è di una qualità rara. L’idea di Diego Della Valle di unire comodità ed eleganza si sente a ogni passo. L’orologio Schroeder scheletrato al polso aggiunge un tocco di vera arte orologiera. Hai colto perfettamente lo spirito raffinato di Doha in queste immagini.
Lieber Marko, ein faszinierender Beitrag aus Doha. Ein handskelettiertes Werk auf Basis des Valjoux 7750, mit gebläuten Schrauben und 25 Rubinen, ist echte Handwerkskunst. Ich trage selbst eine Hamilton mit 7750-Werk, daher reizt mich diese offene Variante umso mehr. Dass ein Luxemburger Juwelier so etwas mit Schweizer Manufakturen fertigt, finde ich bemerkenswert. Weißt du, wie hoch die Gangreserve dieses Automatikwerks ausfällt?
Bonjour Marko, quel plaisir de découvrir cette montre depuis le Qatar. Un mouvement squeletté et gravé à la main, sur une base Valjoux 7750, relève du véritable art horloger. J’apprécie que Schroeder, maison luxembourgeoise avec atelier à Paris, ose un tel travail d’ouverture du cadran. Je porte une Frederique Constant, mais voir les rouages animés est un tout autre plaisir. Les vis bleuies ajoutent cette touche de raffinement que seuls les amateurs remarquent vraiment.
Hola Marko, una historia preciosa desde Doha. Me fascina que este Etrier sea esqueletizado y grabado a mano, mostrando todo el movimiento mecánico de carga automática. Llevo un Tissot Powermatic, pero un calibre abierto sobre base 7750 con 25 rubíes es harina de otro costal. La caja de acero de 42 mm con correa de piel marrón resulta elegante sin ser ostentosa. ¿Recomendarías un reloj esqueleto como primera pieza mecánica, o conviene empezar por una esfera cerrada más legible?
Marko, a beautifully composed story from the Gulf. I bought a Loro Piana cotton shirt after one of your earlier reviews, and it remains the most comfortable piece I own for warm weather. The crisp white shirt here looks perfect for Doha’s climate, and pairing it with the skeletonized Schroeder adds real horological gravitas. I admire that you treat a jeweller’s house watch with the same seriousness as the famous Swiss names. The whole look feels effortlessly suited to the elegance of the Marsa Malaz Kempinski.
Beste Marko, wat een verfijnde modestory uit Doha. De geskeletteerde Schroeder Etrier sprak me meteen aan, vooral het handgraveerwerk en de geblauwde schroeven. Zelf draag ik een Frederique Constant Heart Beat, dus een open wijzerplaat heeft mijn volle aandacht. Dat het uurwerk op een Valjoux 7750-basis rust, geeft me vertrouwen in de betrouwbaarheid. Vind je een skeletmodel geschikt voor dagelijks gebruik, of is het eerder een horloge voor speciale gelegenheden?
Witaj Marko, przepiękna opowieść z Kataru. Imponuje mi, że ten Etrier jest szkieletowany i grawerowany ręcznie, z mechanizmem automatycznym na bazie Valjoux 7750. Sam noszę Certinę, ale otwarta tarcza pokazująca pracę mechanizmu to zupełnie inny poziom. Dom jubilerski Schroeder, założony w 1877 roku, łączy luksemburską tradycję ze szwajcarską precyzją. Doha stanowi olśniewające tło dla tak kunsztownego zegarka.
Hi Marko, a thoroughly engrossing read for any watch lover. The technical details delight me: a self-winding 13¼-ligne movement on the 7750 base, hand-skeletonized with 25 rubies and blued screws. That is a serious amount of handwork for a watch from a jeweller rather than a dedicated manufacture. I own a Longines chronograph with an L688 movement, but the openworked artistry here is on another plane. Could you tell me whether the engraving is visible through a display caseback as well, or only across the dial?
Caro Marko, complimenti per questo racconto raffinato dal Golfo. Trovo affascinante che Schroeder affidi la rilavorazione dell’Etrier a Gaby Schroeder insieme alle migliori manifatture svizzere. Il movimento scheletrato a carica automatica è un piccolo capolavoro meccanico. Possiedo un Maurice Lacroix Masterpiece e capisco bene il piacere di ammirare gli ingranaggi in movimento. La cassa in acciaio da 42 mm porta quel lavoro artigianale con grande equilibrio.
Olá Marko, que história deslumbrante desde Doha. Fiquei encantado por este Etrier esqueletizado e gravado à mão, com mecanismo automático sobre base Valjoux 7750. Ver as engrenagens em movimento através do mostrador é um verdadeiro prazer para qualquer apaixonado. A Schroeder, fornecedora da Corte Grão-Ducal do Luxemburgo desde 1877, alia tradição e precisão suíça. Achas que um relógio esqueleto como este combina bem com um look de verão leve como o teu, ou pede algo mais formal?
Marko, this is exactly the kind of watch writing I enjoy on a quiet evening. The Schroeder Etrier skeleton proves that a family jeweller can deliver genuine mechanical artistry, not just a pretty dial. The 7750 base means it is both serviceable and robust, which matters for a watch meant to last decades. I admire how you photographed it against the refined backdrop of Doha. Pairing such a complication with relaxed Aurélien linen trousers makes high horology feel wonderfully wearable.
Lieber Marko, ein herrlich eleganter Beitrag aus Katar. Mich beeindruckt, dass dieses Modell von Hand skelettiert und graviert wird, mit fünfundzwanzig Rubinen im Werk. Ich trage eine Sinn aus Frankfurt, schätze also solide Mechanik, doch diese offene Verarbeitung hat etwas Künstlerisches. Die Familientradition von Schroeder über fünf Generationen verleiht der Uhr eine besondere Seele. Würdest du ein Skelettmodell wie dieses eher als Sammlerstück oder als Alltagsuhr betrachten?
Hola Marko, una crónica espléndida desde el Golfo. Compré unos pantalones de lino de Aurélien tras una de tus historias y confirmo lo que dices sobre su concepto de smart luxury: calidad a un precio sensato. El reloj Schroeder esqueletizado aporta el contraste perfecto de artesanía mecánica a un conjunto tan ligero. Me parece admirable que una casa joyera de Luxemburgo trabaje con manufacturas suizas a este nivel. Los mocasines Tod’s rematan el look con verdadera elegancia italiana.
Hi Marko, a refined and detailed post that any enthusiast will appreciate. The hand-engraving and skeleton work on the Etrier elevate a familiar 7750 base into something truly special. I currently wear a Frederique Constant Slimline, but an openworked automatic has always been on my wish list. The blued screws are the kind of detail that separates a thoughtful watch from an ordinary one. Could you tell me whether Schroeder offers this skeleton model with a metal bracelet as well, or only on the brown calfskin strap?
Cher Marko, ton sens du détail est toujours admirable. J’apprécie que tu rappelles que l’atelier d’horlogerie de Schroeder se trouve à Paris, ce qui ajoute une dimension bien française à cette maison luxembourgeoise. Le mouvement squeletté et gravé à la main est un véritable spectacle au poignet. Les vis bleuies et les vingt-cinq rubis témoignent d’un soin remarquable. Doha offre un décor somptueux pour mettre en valeur une telle pièce.
Caro Marko, una storia di moda davvero ispirata dal Qatar. Indosso i mocassini Tod’s da tempo e quelle incisioni nella pelle che imitano la corteccia degli alberi sono un dettaglio splendido. La filosofia del savoir vivre di Della Valle si percepisce in ogni cucitura. L’orologio Schroeder scheletrato, con il suo movimento a vista, completa il look con eleganza assoluta. Hai unito artigianato italiano e arte orologiera in modo magistrale.
Marko, a genuinely captivating read. The Schroeder Etrier skeleton stands out because seeing a hand-engraved movement in motion is one of the great pleasures of watch collecting. I wear a Tudor with an in-house calibre, but I have always been drawn to openworked dials for their transparency, quite literally. The fact that it rests on the proven 7750 architecture reassures me about its longevity. Set against the modern skyline of Doha, the whole image feels both timeless and contemporary.
Hi Marko, a beautifully judged summer story from the Gulf. The crisp white Loro Piana cotton shirt is the ideal canvas for a statement piece like this skeletonized Etrier. I appreciate that you let the watch take centre stage rather than overloading the outfit with accessories. The warm tones of Doha make the silver case and brown strap glow wonderfully in your photographs. It is a masterclass in pairing serious horology with relaxed, breathable summer dressing.
Marko, a fitting close to your Qatari adventure. The Etrier, with its hand-skeletonized 7750-based movement and blued screws, truly earns the description of wearable art. Knowing it comes from a fifth-generation Luxembourg maison with a Paris workshop only deepens its appeal for me. I have long admired family-run houses that quietly produce remarkable pieces away from the marketing spotlight. Could you tell me whether Schroeder ships these Etrier watches internationally, or are they mainly available through their Luxembourg maison?
