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: Vintage ZentRa
Often you hear, that the watch virus was passed on from father to son. Not so in my case. My father was always wearing cheap department-storesque quartz watches. Actually I purchased the last one he wore, as my mother – I must have been around 20 this time – asked me to buy him a…
