Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2

This Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2 was initially released with what may have been the longest name ever to grace a watch from La Grande Maison: Master Compressor Extreme LAB 2 Tribute to Geophysic. The story at launch was that it had been tested to the extremes through being part of a mountaneering expedition

Owner Review: A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia 219.028

This was an unplanned purchase. The A. Lange & Sohne Saxonia is not the kind of watch that one should buy on a whim. Sure, we have all spent a couple of hundred dollars on an ill-advised eBay find we didn’t need in the middle of the night, but this was a whole other level

Owner Review: Omega Constellation Perpetual Calendar

Nearly 20 years ago, I walked out of a high-end retailer having just shelled out what I thought at the time was a shed load of money for a watch. I had just bought a stainless steel Omega Constellation Perpetual Calendar (35mm, Quartz, Ref:396.1202). It certainly is a great looking watch. The purchase of the

Owner Review: Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar

From renowned manufacture A. Lange & Söhne to the modern independent brand of NOMOS (and many others), Glashütte in the eastern part of Germany is the birthplace and home to German watchmaking. It is also home to a brand that bears the town’s name in its own name, Glashütte Original. I won’t go into the

Owner Review: Tudor Royal M28500-0003

Say hello to the Tudor Royal M28500-0003 – a stunning timepiece with a lovely integrated bracelet. At 38mm it wears relatively well on my 16cm Asian sized wrist, where the black, sunray finished dial gives a different look as you expose it at different angles in the light. It comes with a notched bezel in

Owner Review: Rado Captain Cook

The Rado Captain Cook has been an absolute pleasure to own and I’m glad I went back to try it on a second time. This watch scratches that new watch itch every time I put it on. When I put this watch on in my wardrobe and I get a moody, close to black dial

Owner Review: Smiths Everest PRS-25

Watches! Why? Do we really need a constant reminder from a watch, like this Smith’s Everest PRS-25, that we are in a hurry, or behind schedule, or even missing out on certain things? Do we even need to track time nowadays when even your coffee machine has a clock? No! So, why watches then? Watches

Owner Review: Octon Forest Green

A. Cesnovar did an excellent analysis of his Octon already, so I will try to add and not repeat in this review. I am a microbrand geek who enjoys the designs and value that can be found. However, it can be tiresome scouring the internet to find another NH35 in another dive watch. The Octon

Owner Review: EMG/HKED Nemo Diver

Oh what’s this, a vintage inspired dive watch. There is no shortage of these around but this EMG/HKED Nemo Diver is done rather well and offers some great value. Initially, I disregarded it due to its 13.5mm thickness featuring quite a bulging case back. I felt it wouldn’t quite give that sporty but elegant feel
