Owner Review: Orient FFM03004B
The Orient collection of watches is a real treasure trove – as I’ve recently discovered – there’s so much more than the few popular offerings that we all know and love. One such piece is the rather unimaginatively titled FFM03004B – no fancy nickname for this one, unlike his more popular Orient brethren. The slide…

Orven was one such company, based in Melbourne, they predominantly created dress watches for sale through independent jewellers. In much the same way that you…

Owner Review: Seiko 7A38 Speedmaster
Find any online watch discussion and you will read quartz is dismissed as having “no soul” and is often aligned with cheap quality and mass production.

Owner Review: Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15450ST
With the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 15450ST coming in at 37mm in size, the question on people minds is “Is this watch going to be too small?” Especially as the original model was 39mm in size. However, luckily due to its hexagonal shape and integrated bracelet it wears slightly bigger. I would say more like…

Owner Review: Swatch Firestorm – before the MoonSwatch
When you mention ‘Swatch‘ to someone, what comes to their mind would be a plastic watch with playful charms and creative design which doesn’t hold much value. On the other hand, when mentioned to the average watch enthusiast, the thought of an affordable Swiss made brand, known for its accurate ETA quartz movement, well designed…
