Owner Review: Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantieme

The Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantieme is instantly recognizable and unmistakably a Jaquet Droz to all the WIS out there and at 43mm it can hardly be missed. For most people, the sheer size of the watch will turn them away especially for a watch meant for dressier occasions. Jacquet Droz does offer a variant…

Owner Review: Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller

The legendary Rolex Deepsea Sea-Dweller is a Big watch… The capital B has very much been used on purpose. Coming in at a seemingly huge 44mm in size, it doesn’t sit as wide as many large Panerai dive watches, but it is the acrophobia inducing height of 17.7mm that makes it feel a touch unwieldy,…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster Reduced

The Omega Speedmaster Reduced 3539.50 is somewhat of a sleeper in the watch world. It evokes a lot of the same classic styling of the iconic 42mm Speedmaster Professional “Moonwatch” but sporting an automatic movement in a versatile 38mm form-factor instead. Unfortunately, the Speedmaster Reduced has long been discontinued but at least they’re still pretty…

Owner Review: Seiko Samurai SRPB49K1

I’m going to be honest with you. I wouldn’t buy myself a Seiko Samurai SRPB49K1 today. I bought this watch about 1.5 years ago, when I was just getting into watches. Back then, I didn’t know exactly what my tastes and preferences were going to be. I knew Seiko was respected for their affordable divers…

Owner Review: Longines Heritage Military – What is heritage with no story?

I like watches, but what I like more are the stories associated with them. That is why I ended up picking the Longines Heritage Military. WW2 is an important event in mankind’s history. It changed the world map forever. And the RAF played a crucial role in Great Britain’s contribution to the allied forces winning…

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date

A year ago I was hunting for a watch to mark a special milestone in my life. I wanted the watch to be personal and intuitive. Voila! JLC Reverso was the definite answer. I went to my AD, an hour passed, and then came back home with a Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Ultra Thin Date 2019 over…

Owner Review: Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Tough Titanium

The first time I saw the Citizen Eco-Drive Promaster Tough Titanium, I thought it was hideous. The dial looked cluttered, with its oversized Arabic numerals, the white luminescent markers contrasting sharply against the blue dial (it also comes in black). Also, it was a Citizen. And a quartz. Who would pay so much (£300)? It…

Owner Review: Tudor Black Bay 58 79030N

You want to be Connery’s Bond and wear a Rolex 6538 “big crown” while lusting over its warm gilt dial with elegantly proportioned case and sharp deep chamfers… but need something robust and modern that doesn’t cost you a house deposit.. meet the modern 114060 Ceramic Rolex Submariner, but wait..it’s way too modern and clinical..…

Owner Review: Hamilton Navy Pioneer – (Almost) Scratch Free

How I envy those watch collectors who delight in every scratch and dent added to their watch, viewing the marks as treasured snapshots in the ongoing album of their life. Try as I might, I can’t avoid obsessing over every hairline scratch or little ding I might have added in the latest wear of my…

Owner Review: Vostok Amphibia – A for Adventure

The Vostok Amphibia has been around since 1967. The design principles and factory in Chistopol, Russia remained the same through the decades, delivering a true in-house product with rich history at a modest price point. The case features a lot of convex shapes! While the base looks quite chunky, it blends in nicely forming a…
