Owner review: Junghans Max Bill Automatic

One might argue that wearing a wristwatch such as the Junghans Max Bill Automatic is no longer a necessity. Time, implements to use in the measurement of time, are all around us. On our computers, on our tablets, on our smart phone. Certainly, as I write this, the time appears in digital format in a…

Owner review: Tissot PRX Quartz

The blue dial Tissot PRX Quartz is one of my favorite watches in my collection. It holds a special place in my heart. Having just returned home from a successful business trip to Anaheim, CA, I was exhausted. The week-long event was an unforgettable experience, and I wanted to cap it off with something to…

Owner review: Audemars Piguet Code 11.59

The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 measures 41mm from side to side, minus the crown, and 50mm from lug to lug. I wish the watch was 40mm or smaller but 41 is not a dealbreaker for me, as I wear what I like regardless of perceived fit. The lug to lug could have been shaved down…

Owner review: Evant Tropic Diver 300

I stumbled upon the Evant Tropic Diver 300 purely by chance – browsing watches on the Internet – as one does. I was reading an article on an obscure diver from Breguet from the ‘60s – reference no. 1646. Apparently, only 60 pieces were made and the watch community was practically unaware of its existence…

Owner review: Omega Seamaster 2635-6

Omega is a brand that needs an introduction as badly as Elvis Presley did going on stage. That being said, not many know about the early roots of Omega’s longest produced line. Today, here I present to you a 1950 Omega Seamaster 2635-6 unbranded. Unbranded? Huh? Yes some Seamasters didn’t have the word printed back…

Owner review: Lima Meca Revolt

The young independent brand Lima have released their most compelling design yet, the Lima Meca Revolt diver style watch. Boosting a quirky feature of interchangeable bezels. Inspiration came from the James Bond era defining watches and 1980’s action anime, giving a pared-down diver watch aesthetic. The basic premise of the Lima Meca Revolt is a…

Owner review: TAG Heuer Autavia Jack Heuer Edition

The Autavia was the first watch released under Jack Heuer’s care of the Heuer company. The TAG Heuer Autavia Jack Heuer Edition is an icon of Heuer and motor racing history. When I put this watch on, I feel a bit of that nostalgia and heritage. It just makes me want to go for a…

Owner review: Oris Big Crown ProPilot

As a watch enthusiast that has spent 17 years in the military, I can tell you that most service members have an extreme appreciation for watches. At the top of the list is obviously any G-Shock, mainly because of the toughness of those watches. But many military members like myself, who appreciate timepieces a little…

Owner review: Seiko SSK001

If watch collectors were baptized into the hobby, owning a Seiko would be a nonnegotiable rite of passage. Everyone seems to have an affordable, beater Seiko story; given that I had never owned one, shortly after discovering watches I came to see myself as abnormal in some way. I imagined I would have a conversation…
