Owner Review: Halios Seaforth

Halios is a microbrand that has been doing things right for awhile now. I have had 5 or 6 different varieties over the lifetime of the Halios Seaforth and thankfully it is still a relatively cheap watch that I dearly love. The first series of the Seaforths housed a 90s5 Miyota movement and that particular…

Owner Review: Autodromo Group B Series 1 – Worn & Wound

Autodromo is one of the earlier and more established microbrands out there. The brainchild of Bradley Price, they think of themselves as more of a lifestyle brand, and in addition to watches, also produce other automotive-related items such as driving gloves and sunglasses. Of all the watches I own, this Autodromo Group B Series 1…

Owner Review: Kurono Tokyo Chronograph 1

“Designed by Hajime Asaoka”. This was one of the first things I remember that intrigued me about Kurono Tokyo. I didn’t know much about him yet – only that I was mesmerised by the design of the Reiwa, which made me think of a modern Japanese-styled Polerouter – and that I wanted to learn more.…

Owner Review: Seamaster 300M Mid-size Quartz – Small not Diminutive

This version of the Omega Seamaster 300M Mid-size Quartz is gaining in popularity. I regularly have people message me about it, so let’s jump in. I went with the midsized version, which clocks in at 36.25mm. The lug-width is 18mm. Lug-to-lug length is 43mm and thickness is 11.2mm. This SMP is definitely wearable. It’s light,…

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…
