Owner Review: Bulgari Aluminum Diagono – Italian chic!

Bulgari is a brand that is synonymous with luxury. Originally a high jewelry brand, Bulgari has made its way into the watch world with a bang! – with exceptionally finished and innovative in-house movements and innovation in materials.

Owner Review: Tudor North Flag – the indie Tudor tool choice

I got this as an everyday day casual watch, which was a brief that had been exclusively filled by divers for me previously. This was before I got into owning a number of watches that those not in the watchfam would consider ridiculous. I had been wearing an Omega Planet Ocean, large, orange, my most…

Owner Review: The Ianos Avyssos is a Dive watch you must sea to believe.

So, what can I tell you about my Ianos Avyssos Blue?? I got it for my Birthday this year in January – placed a blind order online – and it arrived, very quickly, straight from Ianos Watches in Switzerland, with regular updates throughout from Jacob, the creator and owner, via email. It is a steel…

Owner Review: The Nivada Cousteau

The ability of vintage watches to tell stories of mankind always fascinated me. I am particularly attracted to tool watches with the Portuguese import hallmark, as they connect me to my country and make each piece more distinctive. Growing up in Portugal in the 80s, like every other kid I frequently watched Cousteau and Calypso…

Owner Review: Casio G-Shock DW5600 – The Moonwatch That Could Have Been

For as long as I’ve been into watches, I’ve been into G-Shock. No real collection is complete without one, or in my case about a dozen. When considering purchases of high-end watches it often takes me years before I make a final purchasing decision, with G-Shock, the quality and value they offer make them impulse…

Owner Review: Bremont Venom 2 ultimate stealth watch

I was looking for an all black DLC ‘sports’ watch for some time. They either all seemed too overdone and trying too hard like they were meant for some post apocalyptic future, or looked like they belonged on the wrist of the teenager making his first foray into the all black smart watches we see…

Owner Review: The only sun in the UK summer a Corniche Chronograph

Quartz watches are really not loved in the world of watch collecting. You don’t tend to see them in ‘popular’ watch Instagrams or websites. The Corniche heritage chronograph runs on a Seiko VK64 Hybrid movement. A quartz movement with sweeping second-hand for the chronograph. This is where one of my complaints for this watch stems…

Owner Review: Pac-man Game Watch – I ❤️ the 80’s

In the early 1980’s, Pac-Man fever was rapidly spreading across the land. From its humble beginnings as a simple arcade game, it spawned a massive sprawling empire which, at its peak, included home console titles, a Saturday morning cartoon, a breakfast cereal, …and game watches. In 1982, a relative newcomer to consumer electronics, Nelsonic, secured…
