Owner Review: Halios Fairwind – 39mm blue beauty with killer bracelet
I first saw the Halios Fairwind on Instagram. While Jason Lim at Halios doesn’t post very often, somehow the IG algorithm read my mind and dangled this shiny object before my eyes. Halios watches tend to re-sell at a premium, but what really drew me to the Fairwind is the bracelet with on-the-fly adjustability. EVERY…

Owner Review: Tudor Heritage Black Bay Bronze
Bronze Watches. Let’s get this out of the way…right away. Bronze is a material that people SHOULD make watches from!! Bronze watches SHOULD NOT be a fad or something that fades away with time. Why, you ask? Bronze is the world’s first metal alloy. Early history is full of man using this important metal to…

Owner Review: Seiko Turtle SRP779K1 – What came first? The ‘Turtle’ or the Egg?
The Seiko Turtle SRP779K1 has served as my first entry into the wonderful world of mechanical watches. I’m not sure if I was aware of its predecessors the ‘SKX‘ model before owning it or not. It’s possible that since having the beautiful Pepsi bezel in my life I have unwittingly started to notice articles, photos…

Editorial: A Detailed Overview of ochs und junior
Last year was a difficult year for most of us. The Coronavirus pandemic has brought many restrictions and suffering to the world. And as everyone knows most watch brands were hit hard by the virus, too: employees had to stay at home, suppliers could not deliver, customers stopped buying. From the large amount of difficulties within and outside…

Owner Review: Baltic Aquascaphe – Instagram favourite but sadly not mine
I first became attracted to the now ubiquitous “vintage inspired diver” by the Christopher Ward C65, which is of course shamelessly inspired by the Oris Divers 65 but the CW was half the price and I marginally preferred the design. Then I saw the well marketed pre-order for the Aquascaphe by French brand Baltic. It…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 300m 007 Edition – No time to try.
Just to make the point, I’m not a James Bond fan boy (not that there’s anything wrong with that). I do have a military background however, so I do have a bias / preference towards military inspired dive watches. These are my thoughts and impression of this piece after 1 week of ownership. I’ve been…

Owner Review: Tissot Everytime – My First Night Out with a New Watch
I’m completely sober waiting with my unbalanced and slurring friends outside of a nightclub. My white button-down shirt is stained with someone else’s vodka and Coke. I look down at my Tissot Everytime. The dial reads 11 o’clock. We have been standing in line since before 10. We’re in an alleyway standing next to a…

Owner Review: Longines Heritage Military – Connected to the Past
Piercing pain of singing cicadas, dry and dusty smells of a silver mining town and the scorching hot grass leading under the constantly cool corrugated iron water tank that supplied the house. All these memories are seared into my being. Various things remind me from time to time of my childhood but they are somewhat…

Owner Review: Seiko 7A28-7029 – The Golden Age of Quartz
Ah, the 1980s. Cruising down Sunset Strip in your Testarossa to catch your reservation at Spago; Barking orders at your broker on your Motorola brick (hopefully buying AAPL by the truckload); And admiring this nice little Seiko 7A28-7029 quartz chronograph on your wrist. This is no ordinary quartz chronograph though. This golden beauty houses the…
