Owner Review: Montblanc Timewalker – Don’t Fill it with Ink

The Montblanc Timewalker was my first grail watch and the “one” that I absolutely wanted, but thought I could never get (now I have two!). The Montblanc Timewalker has three “generations” of models.

Owner Review: Tissot Banana Heritage Centenary Edition

When I first cast my eyes on the Tissot Banana Heritage Centenary Edition, I was instantly captivated by its nostalgic appeal. There’s the unmistakably vintage black dial with silver hands; the petite onion crown with the yester-year “T” signature; and most visually appealing of all, the curve silhouette of the watch’s ultra-thin stainless steel case.…

Every watch fan has heard of the Omega Speedmaster and many have heard of the Bulova Lunar Pilot, but how many have heard of the Poljot Strela? I’m willing to bet not many. In the 50s the Soviets purchased equipment for the Venus 150 from the Swiss. They improved it by decreasing the beat rate…

Once upon a time, France was at the world’s epicenter of horology — so, they must know a thing or two about watchmaking, oui?
