Owner review: TAG Heuer Autavia Jack Heuer Edition

The Autavia was the first watch released under Jack Heuer’s care of the Heuer company. The TAG Heuer Autavia Jack Heuer Edition is an icon of Heuer and motor racing history. When I put this watch on, I feel a bit of that nostalgia and heritage. It just makes me want to go for a…

Owner review: Breitling Chronometre B-1

Purchased used in 2016, but built in 2006, my Breitling Chronometre B-1 was the last of the ‘B-1’ model range. The later model B-1s houses certified chronometer quartz (cal. B78) which means a max time variation of 0.07 seconds per day, which is around 2 seconds a month! The movement is also thermo-compensated, regulating the…

Owner review: Omega Seamaster 300 America’s Cup Chronograph

The Omega Seamaster line never interested me until the release of this Omega Seamaster 300 America’s Cup Chronograph edition. This model had me surprised with a lot of firsts from Omega; from the one-click quick bracelet/strap change to the chrono-lock function. But what really got me is that red count-down ring that features an hour…

Sometimes a wise but often dangerous thing a watch enthusiast can do is lay their collection on the table and look at it, by doing that many factors can of course come into play. You may look at it and decide that some pieces need the chop, while in other cases its a matter of…

Owner Review: Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch

There’s not much more to be said about the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch that hasn’t been said already by every man and his best friend… However, what I will attempt to explain is how I went to being bashful and skeptical of the watch to growing fond of it. Allow me to tell you about…

Owner Review: Heuer Monaco Calibre 11

Heuer fans, accustomed to an aesthetic patterning the golden era of racing-informed chronographs and exemplified by the Carrera and the Autavia, have long been indoctrinated to believe the Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 was another iteration of this design philosophy. That along with racing-livery hues and uber-masculine presences (aka McQueen), there could be no higher form…
