The case features a lot of convex shapes! While the base looks quite chunky, it blends in nicely forming a…

Owner Review: Longines Heritage Military L28114530

Despite managing to only find two Instagram posts from Longines around its release in late 2016 and a small handful of online reviews since this time, the vintage appeal of the Longines Heritage Military L28114530 was just too good for me to pass up. To this very day, this watch remains one of my favourite…

Owner Review: IWC Pilots Watch Spitfire Chronograph

At 43mm the IWC Pilots Watch Spitfire Chronograph is the largest watch in my collection. I love my 34mm Rolex. I have no problem with small diameter watches, they are so comfortable. To be honest, I was a bit worried about how I would feel wearing a 43mm wrist associate. For my first little bit…

Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor

So here is my Series 1 Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor chronograph ref 146.8.25. This watch had been on my hit list for some time before I was able to acquire a good condition variant. It oozes character in its masculinity from the super compressor case. The dial is laid out beautifully making it both functional…
