  • Owner Review: Habring2 Time Only 2009

    Owner Review: Habring2 Time Only 2009

    The deep black gloss of the outer chapter ring, finely executed small seconds at 9, and rich shine of the indices drew me in on that sunny Saturday morning at a small independent watch retailer in 2013. Years and many hours of wear later proved that the allure of the Habring2 Time Only 2009 was not…

    Owner Review: Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622

    Before we get to my Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622 review, we need some background. In 1992 Rolex introduced a watch that shared the silhouette of their beloved Submariner but in solid 18k yellow gold, embossed YG bezel insert soldered to the bezel, funky white dial, and the unusual name “Yacht-Master” written where “Submariner” would normally live.…

    Owner Review: Formex Essence Thirtynine

    It’s a great time to be a collector and I love the new Formex Essence Thirtynine that has emerged from the proliferation of micro-brands, although what constitutes one is a topic for another day. It has meant a boom in design and options for those of us who’ve started with Seikos (and who hasn’t?), are…

  • Owner Review: Heuer Monaco Calibre 11

    Owner Review: Heuer Monaco Calibre 11

    Heuer fans, accustomed to an aesthetic patterning the golden era of racing-informed chronographs and exemplified by the Carrera and the Autavia, have long been indoctrinated to believe the Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 was another iteration of this design philosophy. That along with racing-livery hues and uber-masculine presences (aka McQueen), there could be no higher form…

    Owner Review: Zlatoust ChS195

    Opening the box of the Zlatoust ChS195 is like opening a portal into the past – the smell of the hand-made, plain wooden box, the rough folded paper, containing the technical data and the warranty and, of course, the watch itself. Milled from a single piece of steel, it really feels more like an instrument…

    Owner Review: IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 C.03

    Much like my day job is a happy collision of my favorite health system & favorite city, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 C.03 for Collective is the result of two things coming together nicely: a search for a water-resistant chronograph and discovering Collective Horology, a private (but growing) enthusiast group that began in Silicon…
