Owner Review: Ollech Wajs P-101 – The Rebirth of Cool
Ollech & Wajs (pronounced: “Oh-leck and Vice”) may not be a brand most people are familiar with.

Owner Review: Tian Harlan Chromachron – Colourful is my favorite colour
Encouraged by the recent reviews of quartz watches, I want to show you the first kind of real (?) watch I ever bought … from this purchase on I always check what I – and others – have on the wrist. During my time at university I spent 6 months as an intern at a

Owner Review: Bulgari Aluminum Diagono – Italian chic!

Owner Review: Tudor North Flag – the indie Tudor tool choice
I got this as an everyday day casual watch, which was a brief that had been exclusively filled by divers for me previously. This was before I got into owning a number of watches that those not in the watchfam would consider ridiculous. I had been wearing an Omega Planet Ocean, large, orange, my most

Owner Review: The Ianos Avyssos is a Dive watch you must sea to believe.

Owner Review: Casio G-Shock DW5600 – The Moonwatch That Could Have Been
For as long as I’ve been into watches, I’ve been into G-Shock. No real collection is complete without one, or in my case about a dozen. When considering purchases of high-end watches it often takes me years before I make a final purchasing decision, with G-Shock, the quality and value they offer make them impulse

Owner Review: Bremont Venom 2 ultimate stealth watch
I was looking for an all black DLC ‘sports’ watch for some time. They either all seemed too overdone and trying too hard like they were meant for some post apocalyptic future, or looked like they belonged on the wrist of the teenager making his first foray into the all black smart watches we see

Owner Review: The only sun in the UK summer a Corniche Chronograph
Quartz watches are really not loved in the world of watch collecting. You don’t tend to see them in ‘popular’ watch Instagrams or websites. The Corniche heritage chronograph runs on a Seiko VK64 Hybrid movement. A quartz movement with sweeping second-hand for the chronograph. This is where one of my complaints for this watch stems
