Owner Review: Seiko SKX007

Reviewing a Seiko SKX007 is almost like reviewing one’s love for watches. I’ve thought a lot about it – my love for watches, that is – and haven’t been able to find a good reason for it. Now, there doesn’t have to be a reason for love, but the obsession sometimes (often) needs justifying (an…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200m

Omega Seamaster Ploprof 1200m …. Beast? Instead of beginning with its history and technical specifications, or the most common question I get asked: “What does the orange button do?”, I’ll start with the most common misconception: “It’s an unwearable beast of a watch”. Truth is, the Seamaster Ploprof 1200m is a beast, but a very much…

Owner Review: Rolex Datejust 36 Palm Dial

I realised watch reviews, unboxings, hands-on and other talking watches are about the owner more than the watch itself. It’s simple, we are the ones giving watches a meaning and some of them can be quite deep. I guess that’s one of the reasons why I fell in love with watches, and particularly this Rolex…

Owner review: Ballon Bleu De Cartier

As a female with an interest in horology the Ballon Bleu De Cartier strikes a cord with me. I often get baffled by the lack of understanding that women, indeed, can enjoy both men’s and women’s watches. Often, a lady’s watch does not carry the same value as men’s, simply because it is perceived that…

Owner review: Rolex Day-Date Everose 36mm Eisenkissel Dial

Ask any watch collector about a Rolex and I’m sure some will tell you that the Rolex Day-Date is the epitome of what Rolex has to offer. The Day-Date is colloquially referred to as the Rolex President as a few US Presidents have been pictured wearing Day-Dates. While Rolex doesn’t specifically refer to Day-Dates as…

Owner review: Swatch Sistem 51

When I first read about the Swatch Sistem 51 I found the challenge given by Nicolas Hayek to his engineers intriguing. What he basically asked them to do was to reinvent the Swatch that had successfully challenged the cheap quartz watches from Asia, but this time with a mechanical watch that could be produced at…

Owner review: Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonphase

Whilst many object to the number of editions of the Omega Speedmaster, others celebrate the differences in detail each piece offers. My favourite is the Omega Speedmaster Professional Moonphase reference 3575.20. When I first set out to add a speedmaster to my collection, I was torn between a traditional moonwatch or something a little different. Hours…
