Owner review: MB&F Legacy Machine LM101

It is hard to believe that someone would say that Max Busser can’t actually design a watch! There have been many who have dared to criticise his horological machines. Some have been so bold as to say that he can only create toys! From my perspective, the MB&F Legacy Machine LM101 makes a very clear…

Owner Review: Tudor BB58 Blue – Pretty Bland

It’s been a while since my last review, so I thought I would get back into the swing of things with a review of my now departed Tudor BB58 Blue. My encounter with this particular watch was a fleeting romance but one that hopefully you can all learn from, then disregard and do what you…

Owner review: Grand Seiko SBGM221

I was a budding watch enthusiast with three watches: a Speedy, a no-date Sub, and a DJ36. I wanted to stir things up. After much debate, I pulled the trigger on a JLC Reverso Medium Thin. Less than 24 hours in, I began regretting my decision. I couldn’t understand why, as I had tried the…

Owner review: Bradley Taylor Paragon

I first saw the Bradley Taylor Paragon early in February of 2021. Without doubt, it was the perfectly crafted purple hands that captured and held my gaze. After my eyes finally scanned the rest of the dial it was apparent that the light play on the uniquely designed applied Breguet style numerals was also breathtaking.…

They took an already handsome model (the OG Fortitude) and made it more wearable. Prior to this model, I have not owned a micro/independent branded watch.…

Owner review: Citizen Silver Leaf Lacquer NB1060-12L

The way I typically decide to buy a watch is very deliberate, reading multiple reviews, watching youtube videos and memorizing all the specs. I’ll try on the watch if possible in stores then I’ll hit every manner of website to try to track the lowest prices. That wasn’t the case with the Citizen Silver Leaf…

Owner review: Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955

How did I come to buy the Vacheron Constantin Historiques Cornes de Vache 1955 in rose gold? Well, some 18 months ago I decided to find a high-end mechanical watch for my 50th birthday. What would I choose? A Royal Oak, a watch also born in 1972? A Patek Philippe, a Vacheron Constantin, an A.…
