Owner Review: Kurono Tokyo Chronograph 1

“Designed by Hajime Asaoka”. This was one of the first things I remember that intrigued me about Kurono Tokyo. I didn’t know much about him yet – only that I was mesmerised by the design of the Reiwa, which made me think of a modern Japanese-styled Polerouter – and that I wanted to learn more.

Owner Review: Seamaster 300M Mid-size Quartz – Small not Diminutive

This version of the Omega Seamaster 300M Mid-size Quartz is gaining in popularity. I regularly have people message me about it, so let’s jump in. I went with the midsized version, which clocks in at 36.25mm. The lug-width is 18mm. Lug-to-lug length is 43mm and thickness is 11.2mm. This SMP is definitely wearable. It’s light,

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille

When I decided that I wanted a Reverso, I was very interested in the possibility of getting a decoration on the back. My wife and I were in one of our favourite watch shops in Copenhagen on a Saturday afternoon, and I was really attracted to the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille. I liked this model

Owner Review: Glashutte Original SeaQ – Emerging from the Depths

So I liked the Glashutte Original SeaQ when it emerged from the depths of the German manufacture. Early commentators either celebrated the model or took issue with its oversized Arabic numerals and its big date at 4:30 but, having a certain proclivity to dive orientated product, it was interesting. Our paths crossed on an Edinburgh

Owner Review: Formex Essence Automatic Chronometer

Anytime any sort of saving or budgeting for a watch comes into play, you open the box containing your new purchase hoping that it truly is all that it’s cracked up to be. This goes for a $200 Seiko or, in my recent case, the $1265 USD Formex Essence Automatic Chronometer in the Silver dial,

Owner Review: Bell & Ross BR05 Skeleton

It was during the Melbourne lockdown that I attended WatchFest 2020 online. I think I was already with whisky in hand, but before or after Manu cooked the thickest piece of meat I’ve ever seen. The Melbourne Bell & Ross boutique guys came online and showed us some of their current range. My understanding of

Beloved for its clean utilitarian aesthetic, the field watch is one of the most iconic styles of watch produced today and it’s available in a dizzying array of variations from many watch brands, large and small. However, whereas the modern-day field watch is worn primarily for fashion, the aesthetic was born out of a need

Owner Review: Breguet Type XX Transatlantique

The Breguet Type XX Transatlantique manages to be classy, charming, and sporty all at the same time. First and foremost, we’re talking Breguet here! I mean, look at the font on that date wheel. That’s nice! If you want a Breguet in your collection and you’re not ready to go all out dress watch and
