Owner Review: Richard Mille Extra Flat RM016

Whatever your thoughts are of Richard Mille and this Richard Mille Extra Flat RM016, you cannot deny the fact that his watches polarise opinions amongst the global horology community. However what if you were given the opportunity to wear one for a few months, for an extended test drive shall we say? Well it just…

Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor

So here is my Series 1 Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor chronograph ref 146.8.25. This watch had been on my hit list for some time before I was able to acquire a good condition variant. It oozes character in its masculinity from the super compressor case. The dial is laid out beautifully making it both functional…

Owner Review: Rolex Datejust 41 126300

If you had asked me a few years ago whether I’d ever own a Rolex Datejust, I probably would have had a laugh and told you to keep walking. Fast forward to today, and I’m the happy owner of this Rolex Datejust 41 reference 126300 – being the oystersteel variant with smooth bezel. This particular…

Owner Review: Omega Speedmaster MK40

If you asked me what I think about the Omega Speedmaster MK40, I would tell you it is an extremely nice watch. It wears comfortably on the wrist, goes well with many outfits, and is a very low key watch. It’s got a lot of quirky functions that make it a very unique -and colorful-…

Owner Review: Rolex Submariner 14060, A Great Companion

One fateful night back in 2014 while watching ‘Live and let die’, I made the decision to buy a Rolex Submariner. As an avid scuba diver I have always been drawn to dive watches with a clean aesthetic that can be worn everyday. I settled on the Rolex Submariner 14060 manufactured in 1990 for the…

Owner Review: Seiko Alpinist SPB117J1 – The 6th Generation

First released in 1959, some say 1961. The Seiko Alpinist SPB117J1 is now in it’s sixth generation. Gaining a massive following over the years. The new and improved Alpinist comes in four colour choices. I will be reviewing the black one, with reference SPB117J1 or SBDC087. First impressions are really good as a Seiko Alpinist…

Owner Review: Tudor Harrods Black Bay – Little brother to the Kermit

Behold the Tudor Harrods Black Bay – a limited/special edition of the Black Bay exclusive available from Harrods London. A dive watch with the same in-house movement as its other regular production brothers. At this price point, it’s hard to beat with so much going for it – depth rating of 200m, power reserve of…

Owner Review: Rolex Oysterquartz 17014

I’ve always been drawn to the weird and wonderful world of 70’s watch and car design. To me the Rolex Oysterquartz 17014 is a perfect embodiment of my tastes but what’s it like to wear? In a word-special. On the wrist, the 36mm case appears larger than the regular Oyster case, helped in part by…

Owner Review: Seiko 5 SNK809

The Seiko 5 SNK809 is everything you could possibly want in a watch, and more. With a svelte 37mm/11mm stainless steel case, the three-hander is set on a sector-like dial with painted hour and minute Arabic numerals, along with a classic field-watch style triangular marking at the 12 o’clock. It comes with a day-date complication…

Owner Review: Meistersinger N°01

The Meistersinger N°01, a one handed watch. I never understood it. How will you know exactly what time it is? How do you sync your watch precisely and know how accurate it is? How will you know how long you have until the train comes? How do you know how much longer you have in…
