Owner review: Oris Calobra Chronograph Limited Edition II
In 2020, I had purchased a Reservoir Bronze Tiefenmesser and it was a love at first sight experience for me. In the same year, I found my all time favourite timepiece, the Oris Calobra Chronograph Limited Edition II. One day I was casually browsing for green watches on Carousel (a 2nd hand market app), I…

Owner review: A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph
The A. Lange & Söhne 1815 Chronograph release demonstrated to the world that the wheel could be re-invented! We were given a refined form of the revered Datograph. When was the last time something beautiful paused your footsteps in admiration? This morning was one of these pleasant moments. Bathed in the morning sun, the A.…

Owner review: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26320ST
“Is that the 50th Anniversary Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph?” That is the most common question I get whenever someone asks me about my Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Chronograph 26320ST. Not that I blame them, the similarities are plenty and the differences not noticeable unless you know what you are looking for. PS: Tell tale…

Owner review: Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40
As you can gather from the title, this watch is nuts! Pistachios to be exact. The Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40, nicknamed the “Pistachio” is arguably the best model Breitling has released in modern times. Now sure, it looks like a Patek, and that’s fair, but in reality, it has enough differences to stand out…

Owner Review: Rolex Explorer Two-Tone 124273
Punk music was largely a reaction to the popular music of the late sixties and seventies, namely Prog Rock and Disco. It was contrarian by nature. Its aim was to destroy. The Rolex Explorer Two-Tone 124273 is Rolex’s version of Punk Rock. When it was launched in the spring of 2021, it completely flew in the…

Owner Review: Kurono Tokyo Chronograph 1
“Designed by Hajime Asaoka”. This was one of the first things I remember that intrigued me about Kurono Tokyo. I didn’t know much about him yet – only that I was mesmerised by the design of the Reiwa, which made me think of a modern Japanese-styled Polerouter – and that I wanted to learn more.…

Owner Review: Formex Essence Automatic Chronometer
Anytime any sort of saving or budgeting for a watch comes into play, you open the box containing your new purchase hoping that it truly is all that it’s cracked up to be. This goes for a $200 Seiko or, in my recent case, the $1265 USD Formex Essence Automatic Chronometer in the Silver dial,…

Owner Review: Ralph Lauren Sporting Chronograph
I saw this Ralph Lauren Sporting Chronograph in the Instagram feed of @marekielbasa.md – Chopard, Dubuis, Lange – dude is nuts. He once paid ArchieLuxury for a collection review and nearly succeeded in trolling him into a heart attack – it was epic! Now, this RL was familiar to me because in the days before…

Owner Review: IWC Pilots Watch Spitfire Chronograph
At 43mm the IWC Pilots Watch Spitfire Chronograph is the largest watch in my collection. I love my 34mm Rolex. I have no problem with small diameter watches, they are so comfortable. To be honest, I was a bit worried about how I would feel wearing a 43mm wrist associate. For my first little bit…
