Owner Review: Tissot PRC 200 Powermatic 80

In the world of Swiss watches, Tissot offers great heritage and a whole lot of different models to choose from – something for everyone, in every price range. However, I’ve always found their designs to be a mixed bag – there are some good ones, alright, but they have to be sieved from the pile

The all gold Rolex Yacht-Master 16628.. It’s the one to start all Yacht-Masters and the timepiece that started my watch fever as a young man. I selected it as my goal watch because my father said that when I had a real job and proved myself as responsible, he would let me wear it and

Owner Review: Sinn 857 UTC TESTAF

The single watch that provides everything we want in a timepiece remains elusive for those who love watches.

Owner Review: Girard Perregaux Laureato Chronograph

I bought the Girard Perregaux Laureato Chronograph because I fell in love with the integrated bracelet; this looks just great. Combined with the size of 38mm and height of just around 11.3mm for my 17.5cm wrist it was really appealing. Then the brand Girard Perregaux, which is one of the oldest but not flashy haute

It was August 2019 in Athens, Greece. I had an itch to get me a Radiomir. I wanted a Black Seal Ceramic, but I was trying to control myself, unsuccessfully. During a trip to the mall, I pass by an AD and spot the Radiomir Ceramic in the display window. I go in and ask
