    Owner Review: Patek Philippe 5370P Rattrapante

    Five factors drove my purchase decision for the Patek Philippe 5370P. Firstly, I had no Rattrapante in my collection and this one appeared stunning to my eyes. My preference for white metal cases and black dials was another positive for this watch. I also have a strong love of Breguet numerals and when set against

    Owner Review: Grand Seiko GMT SBGM235

    Watches tell the time, some also tell the month, date, and even moon phase. For the Grand Seiko GMT SBGM235, it is so very much more than that, it is a piece of art. This piece was released as part of the celebration of the Calibre 9S 20th year anniversary and limited to 1000 pieces

    Owner Review: Ressence Type 1 – Beyond Hands

    Scenario: You’re a watch collector; you’ve amassed a decent collection of watches, but now you’re ready for something different. I suspect that’s where Ressence as a brand comes in. There’s literally nothing like the Ressence Type 1 on the market today. With a simple motto of “Beyond Hands”, Ressence has taken traditional watchmaking and blasted

    I am an engineer and I work in an office with a lot of engineers and project managers. It probably won’t be a big surprise that there are quite a few watch fans in my line of work. From the people that wear different fashion watches every day, to the guys with their one good

    Owner Review: Seiko 5 Racing SNK375K

    Some time ago I found myself wanting a smaller automatic sports watch at a reasonable price that would fill the gap between the more precious automatics and the full on G-SHOCK sports watches in my collection. Enter the Seiko 5 Racing SNK375K. Watches with a staggering history and heritage all of their own and a

    Owner Review: Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer

    Wearing this wonderfully constructed watch on your wrist, one should look past the brand and appreciate the watch for what it really represents. The often underappreciated brand of Frederique Constant sometimes receives many critiques for imitating the much more famous brands Vacheron Constantin or Jaeger LeCoultre. Having been founded in the relatively recent year of

    Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classic Small Seconds

    The Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classic Small Seconds is gorgeous. I love this watch deeply and can’t imagine not owning one. I forgive its flaws because it is just so incredibly beautiful. The way the light plays off the high-polish case, the immediately identifiable shape and proportions, the beautiful guilloche dial and blued-steel hands, there’s nothing

    Owner Review: Rolex Submariner Hulk 116610 LV

    How did I find my way to the Rolex Submariner Hulk? Well when I first got into “nice watches” a few years ago, I was attracted to the aesthetics of dive watches. After hanging around watch forums for some time, I found out about the Rolex submariner and I immediately fell in love. I finally

    Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster CK2915-3

    There is little written about the Omega Speedmaster CK2915-3 transitional. Being a transitional pre-moon model, it not noticed by some but revered by true Omega fans. You see, the “-3” meaning it was the 3rd version of the CK2915 & it was released sometime between 1958-1959. After 1959, the CK2998 arrived. According to what’s available

    Owner Review: Oris ChronOris – Racy Vintage Vibe!

    Let me start by saying that I really do love the Oris ChronOris! I have owned this watch for almost 2 years now and it makes me smile every time I wear it. For my just over 7 inch wrist it is a perfect everyday size at 39mm in diameter and 43 mm lug to
