Top Chef (2010)

Top Chef

M6's version of the American culinary competition, broadcast in France on M6 and in Belgium on RTL-TVI from 22 February 2010, puts a field of professional cooks through weekly elimination challenges judged by a panel of starred chefs. Stéphane Rotenberg has hosted every season; the third, broadcast from 30 January to 9 April 2012, was judged by Ghislaine Arabian, Thierry Marx, Christian Constant and Jean-François Piège, with Cyril Lignac coaching the contestants, and was won by Jean Imbert.

Watches

Hublot Classic Fusion

Worn by Jean-François Piège as Jury member. Forumamontres members logged the black Hublot on Piège's wrist across the third season: Scrub reported a Hublot on the 30 January 2012 episode and cedric79 took it for a 38 mm Big Bang, then on 5 March mo, watching him demonstrate a revisited recipe, identified an all-black Classic Fusion whose dial he first took for a clous de Paris pattern before reading it as the carbon of that line, and on 2 April Evil_OOb confirmed the Classic Fusion with a product image. The all-black ceramic case, the plain bezel without the Big Bang's layered construction and the rubber strap in the members' descriptions support the Classic Fusion line; none of the posts states a size or reference.

Rolex Daytona

Worn by Jean-François Piège as Jury member. The same members watched Piège alternate the Hublot with a steel Rolex Daytona: miaby recalled a Daytona in late January 2012, mo saw a white-dial steel example during the plate-scoring sequence on 5 March, christmike a black-dial steel Daytona in tight close-up on the 10 March "Astuces de chef" segment, Thelemys the M6 recipe video of his chips tortilla, filmed so close on the chronograph that it played like an advertisement, and Evil_OOb the pushers during the 9 April final. Members describe both white and black dials on steel, which suggests either two watches or a dial misread under studio light; the posts name no reference.

Breitling Chronomat

Worn by Christian Constant as Jury member. Scrub, on the 30 January 2012 episode, described Christian Constant's habitual Breitling Chronomat on a two-tone bracelet, and on 2 April Evil_OOb identified a blue-dial Chronomat on a Pilot bracelet, repeating the identification after the 9 April final. Two members converge on the Chronomat; their bracelet descriptions differ, and neither names a generation or reference.

IWC Pilot's Watch Chronograph (unidentified model)

Worn by Stéphane Rotenberg as Host. Evil_OOb called the host a walking IWC catalogue on 2 April 2012, and after the 12 April episode Le Jules reported an IWC pilot's watch and Evil_OOb a Pilot's Chronograph; gdp.rolex then posted a broadcast frame that Imp read as IWC's Fliegerchrono, gdp.rolex noting only that the minute track looked more heavily marked and the case larger than he remembered the model. Members also saw him in an unidentified watch on a mesh bracelet in the studio segments. The IWC pilot's chronograph identification rests on the members' readings of one frame; none names a reference.
