    Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Moon – Stars Like a Piece of Art

    The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso remains one of the iconic design that stays true to its origins. In late 2018, I was looking for a dress watch with moonphase to commemorate my wedding.

    Owner Review: Certina DS Podium Automatic

    The Certina DS Podium Automatic is the first watch I might buy two of. I’ve had it on every waking moment since I got it 3 weeks ago. It is thin, comfortable and fast reading. The dial comes in white, black or gray. You can see I went for the gray. One of the downsides

    Owner Review: Klokers KLOK-08 – old school slide ruler

    Ok, this watch is a bit of a fun. In around 2017 I became aware of a new watch brand doing a launch on Kickstarter (not something I usually care about). Klokers KLOK-08 – a Swiss made watch from a French company. What caught my eye here, was the unusual dial layout – which was

    Owner Review: Casio G-Shock GBX100 (2.5 watchmakers edition)

    Strange things happen when you drink vast quantities of Wakachangi while recording a podcast with your friends who also happen to be watchmakers. This is how I ended up buying my first digital watch in around 30 years. In a moment of delirium, the three of us decided to get the same watch. It was

    Owner Review: Enicar Super Dive MKIII – Can You Dig It?
