Owner review: Pagani Design PD1685
How many Divers actually get pushed to their 200m-300m subsurface claims? How many GMT’s are actually set to an important alternate timeline? How many chronographs are actually timing the speed of an aircraft? As I type this I am wearing a Bulova LP that cannot even tell me the date! But, I digress. This review…

Owner Review: Accutron Legacy 2SW6A001
This was a case of heading to an AD with one watch in mind, finding out they didn’t have it, but walking away with a watch that I ended up being much happier with – the Accutron Legacy 2SW6A001. Oh, and in the process, I found out that neither watch is what I thought it…

Owner Review: Zenith Bamford El Primero Solar Blue – almost unique
In 2018 I was looking for a watch to celebrate my son’s birth. A piece I will pass to him in 18 years or so, not mainstream, although not necessarily a limited edition.

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…

Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5035 Owner Review by @watchesandwords
The practical complication of Patek Philippe, the Annual Calendar Ref. 5035 confuses most of the people I know. Firstly people do not know that Patek introduced the annual calendar complication with this watch at the 1996 Baselworld fair as a part of the practical complications collection. The annual calendar complication is invented by Patek Philippe.…

Dan Henry 1975 Automatic Skin Diver Owner Review by @archiepeterson1303
The Dan Henry 1975 Automatic Skin Diver is a fun, colourful and retro styled skin diver, meaning it features only 150m of water resistance as opposed to the typical 200-300m of other dive watches. This means that whilst you can certainly swim with it, I wouldn’t recommend diving whilst wearing it. However this lack of…

Owner review: Boldr Rally II – Wells 201
Boldr have been making titanium watches for what seems like years now and The ‘Rally II – Wells 201’, a Meca Quartz powered chronograph, shows to me they are still the microbrand forefathers of this hype material that many other mainstream and independent watch brands are only now starting to use, and for good reason.…
