Text and all photos by Thomas, watchesandwords (Instagram), October 2025 „In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and snap! The job´s a game.“ (Mary Poppins, philosopher) In my opinion, there are too many wristwatches anyway, with many new models and entire brands being added every

A personal love letter to an extraordinary watch and an extraordinary city Blütezeit Wien — A Love Story in Steel and Champagne Sparkle It all started with a chance encounter on Instagram.

Owner Review: CWC RN auto diver MK.2 1 by @a.cesnovar
The CWC Royal Navy auto diver – it’s a watch I’ve owned for quite some time, but never really thought I’d review – until I realized the significance it had and what a milestone it represented in my collection. All (or most) enthusiasts on the beginning of their watch collecting journey fall in the so-called

Owner Review: Merkur Pierre Paulin Star Wheel by @timetothethree
Wandering Hours, Centred Design In a watch market flooded with sterile reissues and gimmicky complications, the Merkur Pierre Paulin Star Wheel stands out as a rare gem, a watch that confidently straddles vintage aesthetics and mechanical intrigue without losing its soul to overproduction or trend-chasing.

Ever since I first came across their pieces on Instagram in early 2020, during the dark depths of COVID-era doom scrolling, I’ve lusted over just about everything Michiel Holthinrichs and

Owner Review: Serica 5303 by @danghorology
As someone who owns more watches than pairs of socks (don’t judge), I’ve always told myself I don’t need another diver. Which is exactly why, one sleepless night, I found myself messaging a good mate and buying his barely-worn Serica 5303. He wore it once, decided it was too small for his big ol’ wrist, and

Owner Review: Porsche Design Titanium Diver 6501.10 by @teesankoo
Having collected watches since the 90s, I’d seen this watch (online) a few times over the decades, but never in person. I’d also never really considered buying a Porsche Design (PD) watch until I bought a mid-life-crisis 911 about five years ago, and then the first Porsche Design watch I bought was their classic Black

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