Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Navy Seals Alarm

Jaeger-LeCoultre (JLC) has a thing with sound. Since 1959, JLC has been building alarms for the wrist. As such, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Navy Seals Alarm Watch (NSA) follows in the footsteps of giants such as the Deep Sea (1959) and the Polaris (1968) as well as the rest of the Memovox range through the…

Owner Review: Vacheron Constantin Overseas 4500V

I still remember that day. November 28, 2018. Australian summer was just around the corner. I noticed a spring in my step as I made my way from the Crown car park to Monards, one of the most prestigious watch dealers in Melbourne. It was finally time to try on one of my grail watches,…

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: 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..…
