Owner Review: Breitling Navitimer Automatic 38

I feel Breitling get a bad rep, not as bad as Tag heuer but that’s the impression I get and don’t understand why. In spite of this I’ve long admired their watches, especially the Navitimer from afar, ultimately being too big and inaccessible. But a couple of years ago Breitling changed that. In a stroke

Owner Review: Ochs und Junior Annual Calendar 42mm

The Ochs und Junior Annual Calendar is my newest piece in the collection. I have wanted an Ochs und Junior for many years now, having admired them on friends’ wrists and having visited then CEO Beat Weinmann in Lucern 3 years ago.

Owner Review: Ming 18.01 Diver – Promise of a Design Icon

If you think diver watch, you are most likely thinking Rolex Submariner, Omega Seamaster or, if you are on a budget, one of the many excellent options from Seiko. I very much doubt that you are thinking about the Ming 18.01 Diver. Ming is a young micro-brand, named after Ming Thein, one of its six

Owner Review: Ochs und Junior Day Night – Run to Catch Up with the Sun

Racing around to come up behind you again … The “Dark Side of the Moon” was game-changing. So is the Ochs und Junior Day Night. It is hard to describe this watch in a few words; can a mechanical watch be any smarter? The Ochs und Junior Day Night is, so to speak, a smartwatch

Owner Review: TAG Heuer F1 – My Attempt to Change Your Mind

TAG Heuer is a brand that has been dogged by controversies. Yes it has made significant mistakes in the past but that doesn’t necessarily define the brand. For me TAG Heuer as a brand was polarizing, seeing an advertisement on TV and magazines with A-list celebrities made me think of the brand as the best
