Owner Review: Laine Gelidus 2 – An Entry To Independent Watchmaking

Owner Review: Roamer Competence La Grande

The SARB035 is a classically sized watch in a world of dinner plate dials. At 38mm in diameter, there is enough size to give some presence, but it doesn’t scream for attention.…

Owner Review: Movado Tank – Wearable Art

The focus of collecting watches for me has never been about how expensive a watch is, but rather about its design, distinctive features, details, history and overall look and feel. This early Movado Tank seems to fit these traits adequately. Having collected art deco watches for some time, this piece caught my eye the moment…
