Owner review: Oris Diver 65 Cotton Candy

When the Oris Diver 65 Cotton Candy watches were announced I was immediately drawn to and curious about the pink version. I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to see one in the flesh for a long time though because I live quite far from any AD. During a GTG weekend in Lyon with some

Owner review: Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-010

Here’s a challenge I set for myself: Review the Patek Philippe Nautilus 5711/1A-010 without mentioning hype or desirability. I believe it is time to sit down, coffee in hand, and ponder on our journey for the past 4 years and counting. Patek’s move of turning away from a traditional dress watch design language may shout

Owner review: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15550ST

The 50th anniversary of the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15550ST will go down as one of the most accomplished years in AP history.

Owner review: Seiko Prospex Alpinist SPB241

The Seiko Prospex Alpinist SPB241, might elicit some groans from the watch world – yet another reproduction based on the golden age of the 50’s and 60’s, yet another Seiko, yet another watch for outdoor adventures that won’t actually take place. Valid points, but I think Seiko did a pretty good job with this $750

Owner review: Grand Seiko SBGR261

Rolex, AP and IWC are in my collection, yet the Grand Seiko SBGR261 is a watch that I spent a lot of my time starring at. This is my first Grand Seiko, and I believe there will be more to come as I’m already addicted to the craftsmanship and quality of Grand Seiko. I spent

The Seiko Prospex Mini Tuna SUT403P1 is part of the iconic and recognised watch case designs that feature the ‘tuna-can’ style. Introduced in 1975 to mainly combat the issue of helium gas penetrating the case, it has symbolised their dive watches ever since and has a cult following and a cult dislike. Whichever side of

The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph release demonstrated to the world that the wheel could be re-invented! We were given a refined form of the revered Datograph.
