Owner Review: Helm Vanuatu Titanium by @a.cesnovar

Helm watches have built a cult following in the microbrand community and for a good reason – they offer original designs and unparalleled quality for the price. And as demand kept increasing over the years, they’ve managed to keep their prices relatively unchanged. What’s the catch? – you might ask, because undoubtedly there has to…

Owner Review: Reverso Grande 976 by @timely_behaviour

Elegance and charm, simply stated. You get out of the taxi onto the wet footpath, making your way to a set brass elongated doors. You hastily push your way thorough them, the head waiter snaps into a brisk move towards you, he can see you are in a rush. “Good evening sir, your party isn’t…

Owner Review: Oris Big Crown Father Time by @omar_luxury_

The watch industry has become quite polarized in the past few years. Unprecedented hype and demand for certain brands have tainted the “fun of collecting.” This has made watches seem primarily like status symbols or commodities to flip. Yet, there are brands that offer great value and fun watches that fulfill the joy of watch…

Owner Review: Tudor Oyster 7394 Small Rose by @timely_behaviour

It’s hot and terribly humid, you fight your way through the forest undergrowth. This is the moment you wanted, months of planning for this expedition. Still you trudge on, covered in weeks of rainforest filth, sweat, blood from a couple of minor accidents. You notice the rest of your group are tired, the light in…

Owner Review: M.A.D. Edition M.A.D. 1 TTL by @sralhb

Truly mad: M.A.D. 1 Time to Love I had participated in two lotteries to win the right to buy a M.A.D. 1, but didn’t win. I actually did come to own a M.A.D. 1 Green, before the Time to Love was announced, but that is another story. I decided to participate anyway. The Jean-Charles de…

Owner Review: Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT Automatic by @watchesandwords

A dressy steel sports watch? Sure. The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT is a large, modern but elegant watch. I have admired the distinguished watches of the Parmigiani Fleurier brand since they first appeared around the mid-1990s. I liked the fact that the watches of this brand are rather less known and inconspicuous. And I am…

Owner Review: Alain Silberstein Krono Bauhaus by @sralhb

When talking about great watch designers, people tend to think of Gerald Genta, and I’m not saying that he is not important, but there are others. In my book both Vianney Halter and Alain Silberstein are among the most innovative watch designers of our time. They are both so radically different that few have dared…

Owner Review: Rolex Airking by @omar_luxury_

The Airking should be your next Rolex! The Rolex Airking has been my latest acquisition. After a year of going back and forth with choosing the next steel sport Rolex. The Airking took the spot but why? The new for 2022 airking has quite a few refinements from the previous generation. A glossy dial, crown…

Owner Review: Kudoke 2 Bluebird by @natecho

I had first heard of Kudoke a few years prior to when I started really paying attention to this lovely husband and wife duo. At that time they were doing mostly skeletonized pieces which didn’t interest me as much. But fast forward to 2019, and seeing all the pictures that came with being nominated /…
