Owner Review: Victorinox SC 1500
A watch made by Victorinox is generally a must-have for anyone obsessed with EDC, if for nothing but the fact that Victorinox is a part of EDC legend and lore. The I.N.O.X is the one watch that always held my imagination, but given the considerable wrist-space it demands, was never a practical choice & the…

Owner Review: Seiko Flightmaster SNA411
Recent events have convinced me that we indeed live in interesting times. On the back of three strange pandemic years, war in Europe, and other factors leading to all kinds of shortages and price hikes across many industries.Do we find ourselves in a similar situation with watches?

Owner Review: IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41
Sometimes a wise but often dangerous thing a watch enthusiast can do is lay their collection on the table and look at it, by doing that many factors can of course come into play. You may look at it and decide that some pieces need the chop, while in other cases its a matter of…

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…
