  • Owner Review: Ming 17.06 Monolith

    Owner Review: Ming 17.06 Monolith

    My most charitable view about the Ming 17.06 Monolith: It’s a minimalist masterpiece with attention to detail you won’t find on any other watch in this price range. My most cynical view: It’s a boring, two-hand, time-only watch with a base level ETA movement. At $1500 the 17.06 Monolith offers the full Ming design language…

    Owner Review: Oris Divers 65 Hodinkee – A day to remember

I first met Emmanuel Dietrich in about 2012/2013 at a small fringe independent brand show in Geneva, the GTE (Geneva Time exhibition or something) at around SIHH time. He was an industrial designer and was…

    Owner Review: Ochs Und Junior Moonphase – What happens if you combine math, KISS and poetry?

    Ochs and Junior fascinated me right from the beginning. The idea of owning a watch of one of the most important living watch makers and the uncompromised and stringent design mesmerized me, so that I was even looking into buying the «settima junior», a watch intended for children! (It showed the weekdays, which I found…

  • Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 14770 – 1962 (MCMLXII)

    Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 14770 – 1962 (MCMLXII)

    Bio: This Omega was made in 1962. This particular case model, the 14770, is known as a transition model from a “pre-de ville” Seamaster to the Seamaster De Ville, meaning some dials would have or not have a “de ville” under the seamaster text. I personally prefer the non-de ville dial which was only produced…
