Owner Review: Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT Automatic by @watchesandwords

A dressy steel sports watch? Sure. The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT is a large, modern but elegant watch. I have admired the distinguished watches of the Parmigiani Fleurier brand since they first appeared around the mid-1990s.

Owner Review: Kudoke 2 Bluebird by @natecho

Ball Trainmaster Moon Phase Owner Review by @nubenuberson

If you want a moonphase but not a dress watch, this watch might be an option. The Ball Trainmaster Moon Phase is too large and too loud for formal wear but is a great choice for a night out. You actually get to see your moonphase when the moon is out. Also unlike most moon…
