Owner Review: Tissot navigator worldtime 160th anniversary by @timely_behaviour
The globe on your wrist! “She’s almost ready” yells one of the ground crew. You figure it’s about time you made a move, taking a last gulp of coffee you move on from a small table in the hangar. Walking out you are thinking about what lays ahead of you, crossing the Atlantic in record…

Interview – Meet Japanese Watchmaker, Daisuke Oguri, by @escapementism
Fifth Wrist has always had a strong interest in the independent watchmaking scene, and we are always looking to highlight emerging watchmaking talent, whether it be through podcast shows such as Independent Thinking, Rob and the Regulator or our German channel, Ohne Hemmung. I’d like to use this space to introduce Daisuke Oguri, a self-taught…

Owner Review: Helm Vanuatu Titanium by @a.cesnovar
Helm watches have built a cult following in the microbrand community and for a good reason – they offer original designs and unparalleled quality for the price. And as demand kept increasing over the years, they’ve managed to keep their prices relatively unchanged. What’s the catch? – you might ask, because undoubtedly there has to…

“It is mine, I tell you. My own. My precious. Yes, my precious.” The Arrow Evo from Rashid Tsoroev. Made in the Republic of Ingushetia, Russia (North Caucasus of Eastern Europe) the Arrow Evo by Rashid Tsoroev is another Russian watchmaker to lookout for.

Owner Review: Reverso Grande 976 by @timely_behaviour
Elegance and charm, simply stated. You get out of the taxi onto the wet footpath, making your way to a set brass elongated doors. You hastily push your way thorough them, the head waiter snaps into a brisk move towards you, he can see you are in a rush. “Good evening sir, your party isn’t…

Owner Review: Oris Big Crown Father Time by @omar_luxury_
The watch industry has become quite polarized in the past few years. Unprecedented hype and demand for certain brands have tainted the “fun of collecting.” This has made watches seem primarily like status symbols or commodities to flip. Yet, there are brands that offer great value and fun watches that fulfill the joy of watch…

Owner Review: Tudor Oyster 7394 Small Rose by @timely_behaviour
It’s hot and terribly humid, you fight your way through the forest undergrowth. This is the moment you wanted, months of planning for this expedition. Still you trudge on, covered in weeks of rainforest filth, sweat, blood from a couple of minor accidents. You notice the rest of your group are tired, the light in…

Owner Review: M.A.D. Edition M.A.D. 1 TTL by @sralhb
Truly mad: M.A.D. 1 Time to Love I had participated in two lotteries to win the right to buy a M.A.D. 1, but didn’t win. I actually did come to own a M.A.D. 1 Green, before the Time to Love was announced, but that is another story. I decided to participate anyway. The Jean-Charles de…

Owner Review: Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT Automatic by @watchesandwords
A dressy steel sports watch? Sure. The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT is a large, modern but elegant watch. I have admired the distinguished watches of the Parmigiani Fleurier brand since they first appeared around the mid-1990s. I liked the fact that the watches of this brand are rather less known and inconspicuous. And I am…

Owner Review: Alain Silberstein Krono Bauhaus by @sralhb
When talking about great watch designers, people tend to think of Gerald Genta, and I’m not saying that he is not important, but there are others. In my book both Vianney Halter and Alain Silberstein are among the most innovative watch designers of our time. They are both so radically different that few have dared…

Very cool watch. I have always wondered about the bronze models. Is the caseback bronze as well? If so do…
