Owner Review: Timefactors «Precista PRS-82» by @a.cesnovar

And one of those brands is Precista. The history of the original brand is…

Owner Review: Sinn EZM 3 S by @tapir_ffm

My friend (and partner in (watch-)crime) Wolfgang calls this „a watch directly from hell“. Well, he’s kind of right: this watch is „hellishly cool“: This watch is fully black. Dial, bezel, case, bracelet, clasp … everything black. And as it is a Sinn, it’s black hard coating on a hardened surface („tegiment technology“), which means…

Owner Review: CWC RN auto diver MK.2 1 by @a.cesnovar

The CWC Royal Navy auto diver – it’s a watch I’ve owned for quite some time, but never really thought I’d review – until I realized the significance it had and what a milestone it represented in my collection. All (or most) enthusiasts on the beginning of their watch collecting journey fall in the so-called…

Owner Review: Marathon OSAR-D by @brewedtime

Why This Marathon Completed A Dream My journey to discovering this watch takes me all the way back to my teenage years in England. Sitting in front of the old family PC, firing up the internet, and diving deep into the pages of watch forums. It was here, in the early days of the web,…

A visit to the museum of Longines in Saint-Imier

Last year I had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Longines. It is actually free of charge, but can only be visited as a part of a guided tour, hence you have to book it via the website. Although I strongly recommend that you do this whenever you are in Switzerland for watches you…

Picture this: soaring above the breathtaking landscapes of Northam, Western Australia, in a hot air balloon on my first anniversary with my partner.

It’s been a while since my last review, so I thought I would get back into the swing of things with a review of my now departed Tudor BB58 Blue. My encounter with this particular watch was a fleeting romance but one that hopefully you can all learn from, then disregard and do what you…

Owner Review: Edox SkyDiver 70s

So, first things first – if it was entirely up to me, this is a watch I’d never even consider, let alone buy. But I was lucky enough to win the Edox SkyDiver 70s in a very generous giveaway – there were multiple watches you could win and I’d prefer almost all other models instead…
