Owner Review: Formex Field Automatic 41mm

Formex is one of the more exciting independent/microbrands today and the Formex Field Automatic 41mm is a welcome addition to the Formex lineup. With unique designs, and a willingness to try new things, it stands out in an increasingly crowded space. It also stands out for its longevity – Formex Watches was originally established in 1999,…

Owner review: Fortis Flieger F-41

As far as I know, the Fortis Flieger* has been around since 1987. Fortis has been under new ownership since 2018. In 2020 I first became aware of the NEW Fortis Flieger F-41.

Owner review: Omega Seamaster Professional 300m

Long before I was a degenerate watch collector I relished in hanging out with my friends after school. This was the late 90’s and as such our after school activities, before being shuffled off to our respective houses meant doing one thing, playing the Nintendo 64. Two games stood head and shoulders above the rest…

Owner review: Bulgari Aluminium GMT 103702

They nailed the brief on this design, much like any Cartier watch, remove the branding and…

Owner review: Rolex Submariner Ceramic 114060

The supercase, love it or hate it, is a fixture of the Rolex Submariner Ceramic 114060. Despite its chunky lugs there is much to love about this Rolex staple. I had always lusted after the Submariner for as long as I can remember. I was initially (like many) lukewarm towards the Rolex Submariner 114060 but…

Owner review: Vacheron Constantin Quai de l’Ile

A very fancy case: The Vacheron Constantin Quai de l’Ile is an extremely large and rather unusual watch in terms of design – it is very huge, very wide, very uncommon, rather less elegant. It has a clear, excellently legible modern sector-style dial and a Vacheron Constantin movement with the Poinçon de Genève (the Hallmark…
