Owner review: Glashütte Original Senator

When I bought my first good wristwatch back in 2004 – a PAM111, one of the brands that was on the top of my list was Glashütte Original. The favourite was the Panoreserve, but it was twice the price of the Panerai and more of a dress watch than a daily wearer. I wasn’t ready…

Owner review: 1967 Bulova Snorkel 666 “J”

Did you know that America runs on Bulova time? Or so went Bulova’s motto in the world’s first ever television commercial broadcast on July 1, 1941 during a baseball game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and Philadelphia Phillies.

Owner review: Canister Fieldmaster

It’s hard for me to be objective about Canister as a brand and their first offering – the Fieldmaster. But I’ll do my best nonetheless and explain why is that along the way. Canister is the first brand I’ve supported on Kickstarter and the only watch project I rooted for to succeed and see the…

Owner review: Typsim 200M-C

I should begin by disclosing that Matt, the Typsim founder and watchmaker, is a friend. I paid in full for my 200M-C just like every other customer, and I’ve definitely publicly embarrassed Matt with my display of enthusiasm for his watches. I picture him reading this and doing a facepalm. By 2017 the market price…

Owner review: Seiko SMW004A Metronome

Watch complications vary from traditional to contemporary, whimsical to necessary, and watch brands are always combining complications to display horological prowess and open up new market trends. But how about combining rhythm and timekeeping as a complication within the Seiko SMW004A Metronome watch. A striking quartz watch which has the ability to produce a beat…

Owner review: Omega Speedmaster Moonwatch 321

The thought that every watch enthusiast should experience a Speedmaster ignited my quest for the “perfect Speedy.” The countless hours spent researching and obsessing over minute details such as long indices, applied logos, and symmetrical cases shortlisted my options to a “pre-professional” Speedmaster. Unfortunately, the anxiety of venturing into murky vintage waters was enough to…
