Owner Review: Breitling Navitimer Airborne Chronograph – You don’t have to be a pilot to love – and use!
Back in the early 80s I finished school in the last grade which did the math exams using logarithmic tables and slide rules. Of course I used only electronic calculators (RPN for those of you who care) since then, but I kept on admiring people – from my father to the legendary women and men

Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Ultra Thin Reverso Tribute To 1948
I’m not a huge fan of re-editions, homages and tribute watches because I feel the watch industry should be looking forward with “nods” to the past not exact copies. However, this JLC Ultra-Thin Reverso TT48 is just different. When you put the original next to the tribute you can see that, while it is a

Owner Review: FP Journe Chronometre Souverain
Although sports and tool watches are currently all the rage, there seems to be a growing interest in beautiful simple dress watches, such as this FP Journe Chronometre Souverain. So if you are looking for that one meaningful watch that you will wear on special occasions, what will it be? For me, the choice was

Owner Review: Laine Guilloche – The Swiss Chameleon
When tilted to light, the green moire guilloche dial of my first independent watch acquires a beautiful bluish hue, much like a chameleon or perhaps like its Finnish maker, Torsti Laine, a former computer engineer, who altered the hue of his own life after attending the Finnish School of Watchmaking and moving his family to

Owner Review: Ratio Free Diver Professional 500m
П Ratio is quite an obscure brand – there’s little to be found about them around the web – they’re not big on marketing, using influencers or “disrupting the industry”. They, however, make a hell of a tool watch. Just like the transcendental number Pi they’ve taken up for their brand logo, the Ratio Freediver

Owner Review: Seiko 7018-7000 Flyback Chronograph
The sweet exterior demeanor of this beautiful 1971 Seiko 7018-7000 Flyback Chronograph belies the technical powerhouse within; a bi-directional automatic winding, vertical-clutch, column-wheel, flyback chronograph with a Kanji day/date complication that held the record for world’s thinnest until 1987. It really does pack quite the punch. That was quite a mouthful so let’s unpack it

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Date
To give you a little background before I get to the Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Control Date, I am currently in my late twenties so in the beginning of my career. I wear a suit for work and my first years out of university was all about saving up for different suits in order to have one

Owner Review: Alpina Startimer 40mm Limited Edition
While lusting over a more expensive pilot’s watch, I found the Alpina Startimer 40mm Limited Edition. It lacks the boldness of Sinn and grandeur of Breitling, but meets the one requirement for true fliegers: legibility. It may not be your grail, but it fits the mold. The Alpina is impeccably legible. At any angle, you

Owner Review: Isotope Goutte d’Eau Nordblad
The Isotope Goutte d’Eau Nordblad “Special Edition” really is a unique take on a divers watch. I love to see watch companies that take chances as Isotope did with this watch. Isotope is a micro brand based in the UK who have put together 2 versions of the Goutte d’Eau. This one with blue touches

Owner Review: Zenith El Primero Chronomaster 1969 Tour Auto Edition
About a month ago, I decided to sell 2 watches from my collection and put the funds towards one really nice piece. I wasn’t sure what that was going to be at the time of sale but I knew I was looking for something hard to get and something that stood out in a good

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…
