Owner Review: Seiko Flightmaster SNA411

Recent events have convinced me that we indeed live in interesting times. On the back of three strange pandemic years, war in Europe, and other factors leading to all kinds of shortages and price hikes across many industries.Do we find ourselves in a similar situation with watches? Some of us found comfort in the fact

Owner Review: Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch

Owner Review: Habring2 Time Only 2009

The deep black gloss of the outer chapter ring, finely executed small seconds at 9, and rich shine of the indices drew me in on that sunny Saturday morning at a small independent watch retailer in 2013. Years and many hours of wear later proved that the allure of the Habring2 Time Only 2009 was not

Owner Review: Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622

Before we get to my Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622 review, we need some background.

It’s a great time to be a collector and I love the new Formex Essence Thirtynine that has emerged from the proliferation of micro-brands, although what constitutes one is a topic for another day.

Owner Review: Heuer Monaco Calibre 11

Heuer fans, accustomed to an aesthetic patterning the golden era of racing-informed chronographs and exemplified by the Carrera and the Autavia, have long been indoctrinated to believe the Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 was another iteration of this design philosophy. That along with racing-livery hues and uber-masculine presences (aka McQueen), there could be no higher form
