Owner Review: Rolex Oyster Perpetual 1005 – 2 Brands are Better Than 1

Let’s get right to it. What makes vintage watches worthwhile are the feelings it can evoke and the innate beauty that comes from knowing the design, character, and details will never be replicated again. The watch becomes truly special if there is a story behind it or has taken on a pleasant patina- something that…

Owner Review: JS Watch Company Sif N.A.R.T

As a serial watch flipper this is the longest time I’ve owned a watch, so I guess I must like it as I have no intention to sell my JS Watch Company Sif N.A.R.T. There is a lot of things to like about this watch and the company from Reykjavik, Iceland. Self proclaimed as Probably…

Owner Review: Nomos Metro – small seconds, big style

The Nomos Metro was designed by German designer Martin Braun but at the same time is still a very typical Nomos watch, although still a little bit different. I like the clean and clear design of Nomos watches in general, but I also like the way this watch is just that bit more elegant with…

Owner Review: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off Shore 26470or

With the sun shining in the sky, beautifully tanned arms, and a perfect white T-shirt, this particular piece is unbeatable. I love the size and the “umpff” on my wrist that only a watch like the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Off Shore 26470or provides. The polished and brushed case gives so much back to the…

Editorial: Is the Longines 30ch the Best Chronograph Ever Produced?

I am a passionate collector of Longines chronographs and I would like to dedicate a “love poem” to Longines 30ch chronographs, which was designed in 1947 after having ceased production of the previous and fantastic caliber 13ZN. The 30ch was produced until the early years of 70s. I think that the 30ch is an authentic…

Owner Review: Grand Seiko SBGX061 – Quartz at its Best

This is the Grand Seiko SBGX061 with the revered 9F62 quartz movement. Yes, it’s a quartz. If you’re brushing this away as a regular quartz then you’re missing out, a lot. The model somehow grabbed my attention. I don’t know why, maybe it’s the look of the ultra-sharp hands or the sweet proportion. Or maybe…

Owner Review: Tudor Oyster Prince 7995 Tuxedo Dial

The Tudor Oyster Prince 7995 with the “Tuxedo Dial” is an almost iconic example of mid-60’s culture (this particular watch was manufactured in 1966). It was originally intended to be strictly a dress watch and typifies the style of watch many would wear to work along with a suit during this period. The Tudor Oyster…
