Owner Review: Frederique Constant Slimline Perpetual Calendar

Frederique Constant is a brand that offers serious value. A newer brand that has 15 in-house movements under their umbrella, impressive? Yes.

Owner Review: Sinn 105 UTC – truly modern moderism

Start with a Sinn 104 and strip away all the fluff; the polish, the gloss, the fancy hands and leave just a no-nonsense piece of industrial design intended to tell you the time in the easiest, brightest and lightest way and you’ve got the Sinn 105 UTC. This watch has (almost) nothing it doesn’t need

Owner Review: Rolex Explorer II 1655

Feels a bit strange to review a watch from 1974. The Rolex Explorer II 1655 is one that I’ve had my eye on for ages. I love the look. I love that it is a ’70s Rolex steel sports watch that is not as common as many other models. I’m also a sucker for 24

Owner Review: Sō Labs Layer 1

Given the numerous options in my collection, whenever I select a watch for the day, I want to feel excited about it, and to be able to explain why it is special. The Sō Labs Layer 1 is special enough that when I am about to embark upon a low-key day, I am often eager to wear

Owner Review: Seiko Giugiaro Ripley SCED035

People’s tastes vary greatly and you may find it illogical when a thing you love just isn’t somebody’s cup of tea. This Seiko Giugiaro Ripley SCED035 however makes you understand the other side. It’s good-looking, it’s interesting, it’s fugly and immature all at once. No matter what somebody thinks about it, they are right. So
