Owner review: Studio Underdog Watermelon
The Studio Underdog Watermelon (first generation): Obviously the most special and striking thing about the Studio Underdog Watermelon is the colour palette. This creative watermelon flavoured watch has a really cool configuration which uses colour to give a feeling of fun and happiness. It courageously uses a bold and bright colour contrast to stand out…

Owner review: Nomos Lambda
Since I started collecting watches I’ve always been intrigued by Nomos. The German brand has a lot going for it; iconic Bauhaus design, in-house movements, and excellent quality, all at a relatively reasonable price. During my search for the first Nomos, the Lambda in steel was launched. Yes, it was very attractive, but way too…

Owner Review: Steinhart Military 47 – Unique Flieger
Long before I found this Steinhart Military 47 I have always had a special liking for German made products. I even took on a language course during school days.

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 14770 – 1962 (MCMLXII)
Bio: This Omega was made in 1962. This particular case model, the 14770, is known as a transition model from a “pre-de ville” Seamaster to the Seamaster De Ville, meaning some dials would have or not have a “de ville” under the seamaster text. I personally prefer the non-de ville dial which was only produced…

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…
