Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille

When I decided that I wanted a Reverso, I was very interested in the possibility of getting a decoration on the back. My wife and I were in one of our favourite watch shops in Copenhagen on a Saturday afternoon, and I was really attracted to the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille. I liked this model…

Owner Review: Glashutte Original SeaQ – Emerging from the Depths

So I liked the Glashutte Original SeaQ when it emerged from the depths of the German manufacture. Early commentators either celebrated the model or took issue with its oversized Arabic numerals and its big date at 4:30 but, having a certain proclivity to dive orientated product, it was interesting. Our paths crossed on an Edinburgh…

Owner Review: Formex Essence Automatic Chronometer

Anytime any sort of saving or budgeting for a watch comes into play, you open the box containing your new purchase hoping that it truly is all that it’s cracked up to be. This goes for a $200 Seiko or, in my recent case, the $1265 USD Formex Essence Automatic Chronometer in the Silver dial,…

Owner Review: Bell & Ross BR05 Skeleton

It was during the Melbourne lockdown that I attended WatchFest 2020 online. I think I was already with whisky in hand, but before or after Manu cooked the thickest piece of meat I’ve ever seen. The Melbourne Bell & Ross boutique guys came online and showed us some of their current range. My understanding of…

Owner Review: Benrus Military Field Watch

Beloved for its clean utilitarian aesthetic, the field watch is one of the most iconic styles of watch produced today and it’s available in a dizzying array of variations from many watch brands, large and small. However, whereas the modern-day field watch is worn primarily for fashion, the aesthetic was born out of a need…

Owner Review: Breguet Type XX Transatlantique

The Breguet Type XX Transatlantique manages to be classy, charming, and sporty all at the same time. First and foremost, we’re talking Breguet here! I mean, look at the font on that date wheel. That’s nice! If you want a Breguet in your collection and you’re not ready to go all out dress watch and…

Owner Review: Heuer Autavia 1163 “Siffert”

When you get into vintage Heuer, it’s often the draw of the more flashy “icons” like the Monaco or the Carrera that brings you in. After extensive forum reading you’ll realize that the Heuer Autavia 1163 is actually the most sought-after and precious of the golden age Heuer chronographs. The rarest and most expensive are…

Owner Review: Casio F91W – Straight out of Stranger Things

When you look at the Casio F91W it looks like something straight out of “Stranger Things” (which it actually featured in). It oozes more 80s vibes than the gang riding their bikes on the way to play Dungeons & Dragons in Mike’s basement. You really don’t even need to know much about watches to formulate…
