Owner Review: Marc & Darnò «World Time of Friends» by @tapir_ffm
No complication, quite the opposite: a simplification A WorldTimer is one of those complications that you ‘really need’. If I send my former fellow student in Tokyo a WhatsApp message now, can I expect a reply, or is he asleep? If I send an email to my two Fifth Wrist colleagues in Sydney and Boston,

16 Special Watches and a White Rabbit from the Museum
Thomas Brechtel, Watchesandwords, 2026 The White Rabbits is Everywhere, Inside and Out I am the one among us two authors who came to the museum mainly for the historical pocket watches, or to be more precise, for one watch in particular: the ‘Universelle’, Universal Clock, Universaluhr. But more on that heavy gold masterpiece later. What

Audemars Piguet – The Museum: „I would like to work here.“
One of my experiences in the watch community is that many watch enthusiasts share my affinity for art and architecture. Not that I’m particularly knowledgeable about it, but I love strolling through museums and enjoying the artworks and often the architecture as well. Well, you’ll find what you’re looking for in this respect at the

Owner Review: Sinn 556 by @brewedtime
Boringly Beautiful – A Sinn 556 in Japan Another morning in Tokyo. I weave my way through the orderly rush toward Oshiage Station. It’s busy, but quiet—a kind of organized chaos that only Japan can pull off. If you’ve ever been, you’ll know exactly what I mean. The train arrives with its trademark precision, and

Owner Review: Sirna by Andreas Strehler by @watchesandwords
Sirna by Strehler – I have never owned a better watch for everyday wear Beautiful blue on a strong 3D pattern When I saw the stainless steel Sirna for the first time, the very blue, three-dimensional, clear dial immediately caught my eye. The Sirna is a separate watch brand from Andreas Strehler and is built

Owner Review: Louis Erard Le Régulateur Gravé Noir by @nautec07
For professional reasons, I haven’t worn watches for 17 years. It was simply annoying to take the watch off and put it on again several times a day – despite the safety folding clasp, which scores with a certain comfort, among other things. Especially when on one day I got stuck with the case on

Owner Review: Sinn EZM 3 S by @tapir_ffm
My friend (and partner in (watch-)crime) Wolfgang calls this „a watch directly from hell“. Well, he’s kind of right: this watch is „hellishly cool“: This watch is fully black. Dial, bezel, case, bracelet, clasp … everything black. And as it is a Sinn, it’s black hard coating on a hardened surface („tegiment technology“), which means

The Rebirth of a Legend: PANERAI 5218 A Return to Roots: The 2025 Panerai 5218 Re-Edition If you’ve ever been drawn to Panerai, you know it’s more than just a watch brand – it’s a legend wrapped in history, craftsmanship, and a soul tied to the sea. For me, that fascination started when I was

Owner Review: Dennison Midnight Aventurine in Steel by @watchesandwords
A simple but extremely cool quartz watch The Dennison A.L.D. is a watch that immediately caught my eye when it first appeared. The design, size, colours and overall look of this watch are, without a doubt, simply beautiful. No wonder, since the design comes from Emmanuel Gueit. He is the designer of many well-known and

That dial is just fntastic.
Very cool watch. I have always wondered about the bronze models. Is the caseback bronze as well? If so do…
