Owner review: Bulgari Octo Finissimo S

I didn’t set out to buy this Bulgari Octo Finissimo S. No, I was on a mission to buy a rose gold dress watch. You see I’m 40 now and after a decade collecting watches in my 20’s and then avoiding watches for mountain biking/skiing in my 30’s, I had now decided that was deserving…

Owner review: Cartier Drive de Cartier Moon Phases

I was one of the first owners of the Cartier Drive de Cartier Moon Phases when it first came out in 2017. I thought of parting with it several times but it still is in my collection after all these years because I still like it. This has primarily been my go-to “dress watch” due…

Owner review: Studio Underdog Watermelon

The Studio Underdog Watermelon (first generation): Obviously the most special and striking thing about the Studio Underdog Watermelon is the colour palette. This creative watermelon flavoured watch has a really cool configuration which uses colour to give a feeling of fun and happiness. It courageously uses a bold and bright colour contrast to stand out…

Owner review: Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40

As you can gather from the title, this watch is nuts! Pistachios to be exact. The Breitling Premier B09 Chronograph 40, nicknamed the “Pistachio” is arguably the best model Breitling has released in modern times. Now sure, it looks like a Patek, and that’s fair, but in reality, it has enough differences to stand out…

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…
