Owner Review: Caliper Timepieces Sliderule – A watch you can count on
If I could kind of “reset” my watch buying habits and start from scratch, I might look into a collection of (only) watches with a slide rule (there is more about my love of slide rules in the review of my Navitimer). There are so many very cool slide rule watches out there, such as…

Owner Review: Panerai PAM 359 – The incarnation of cool
I went into the local AD to have a look at the Rolex Milgauss. Actually, I was planning to buy one. While trying it on and talking watches, the salesman (who really knew what he was talking about (he is a watchmaker) and was a good salesperson, too) said “in this price range, we also…

Owner Review: Ochs Und Junior Moonphase – What happens if you combine math, KISS and poetry?
Ochs and Junior fascinated me right from the beginning.

Owner Review: Breitling Navitimer Airborne Chronograph – You don’t have to be a pilot to love – and use!
Back in the early 80s I finished school in the last grade which did the math exams using logarithmic tables and slide rules. Of course I used only electronic calculators (RPN for those of you who care) since then, but I kept on admiring people – from my father to the legendary women and men…

Owner Review: Oak & Oscar Humboldt
I came across Oak & Oscar on the web and was immediately attracted by the exceptionally well balanced design of their watches. I can hardly buy a watch I’ve never seen in the metal, but it happened when Oak & Oscar’s Chase and John (very nice guys btw!) hosted a GTG in Frankfurt! I tried…

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…
