Owner Review: Pac-man Game Watch – I ❤️ the 80’s
In the early 1980’s, Pac-Man fever was rapidly spreading across the land. From its humble beginnings as a simple arcade game, it spawned a massive sprawling empire which, at its peak, included home console titles, a Saturday morning cartoon, a breakfast cereal, …and game watches. In 1982, a relative newcomer to consumer electronics, Nelsonic, secured

Owner Review: Daniel Roth C147 Chronograph, quality and tradition from Le Sentier…..
Being a watch lover and a watch collector for some years now, I have always fed my passion following quality and history. Doing that from the very beginning, I started to study vintage watches being attracted always by the craftsmanship and uncommon, unique designs. After some years on vintage watches, I was obviously fascinated by

Owner Review: Nomos Orion Weis – A little, big taste of Glashütte
Here is my Nomos Orion Weis in 33mm (well, 32.8mm if you want to be exact). It hails from the renowned German watchmaking town of Glashütte in the state of Saxony that is often associated with their bigger neighbors, A. Lange & Söhne and Glashütte Original. Despite NOMOS having practically zero history or ties to

Owner Review: Sinn 900 Flieger – At home on land, under water and in the air
In my small portfolio, the Sinn 900 Flieger («pilot») is the oldest and one of the first «proper» watches I ever bought. And for me, the 900F is still one of the hottest watches in the Sinn range. The 900F has a very clean and uncluttered face, while still offering a lot of information: a

Owner Review: Farer Universal Hudson
There are blue dials, then there are the ones that Farer use amongst their offering of Swiss made watches. Floating between a deep blue to almost sea green depending on the light. The Hudson is part of Farer’s collection of hand-wound mechanicals. Coming in with a case width 37mm (minus the crown), a short lug-to-lug

Owner Review: Tissot T-Sport V8 Swissmatic – All revved up with a Swiss V8
When it comes to Tissot, it’s a brand that needs no introduction. Worn by the likes of Elvis Presley, The Duchess of Cambridge and Nelson Mandela, Tissot are in my humble opinion the underdogs of the Swatch group. When I came to find this piece I was in the market for something bold, black and

Owner Review: Super cool Super 70s Super electronic Super Lip Super Nautic-ski
Lip is a French watchmaking brand that had its golden age from the 1940s up to the very early 1970s. It then disappeared as a watch manufacturer. They are known for making reliable manual winding calibers, watches with avant-garde design, and the first ever electric movements in the world. The Nautic Ski is a range

Owner Review: Zenith Bamford El Primero Solar Blue – almost unique
In 2018 I was looking for a watch to celebrate my son’s birth. A piece I will pass to him in 18 years or so, not mainstream, although not necessarily a limited edition. Then I stumbled across the El Primero Solar Blue. The Zenith Chronomaster El Primero Solar Blue was the first cooperation between Zenith

Owner Review: Norqain Freedom 60 – A modern watch with a vintage feel.
Norqain is a new brand established in 2018 and is starting to grow rapidly in that short 2 years. Available in most major retailers around the world including the Hodinkee shop, the brand has that freshness to it that I find appealing. It has a lot to offer (for a new brand) – they are

Owner Review: Glashütte Original Panoreserve
Many would say that the best watches that come out of Glashütte are A. Lange & Söhne. I will not disagree, but on the other hand, I will argue that Glashütte Original make some watches of almost the same quality and finish. The main difference is that GO make their models in steel where ALS

That dial is just fntastic.
Very cool watch. I have always wondered about the bronze models. Is the caseback bronze as well? If so do…
