Owner Review: Tissot Everytime – My First Night Out with a New Watch

I’m completely sober waiting with my unbalanced and slurring friends outside of a nightclub. My white button-down shirt is stained with someone else’s vodka and Coke. I look down at my Tissot Everytime. The dial reads 11 o’clock. We have been standing in line since before 10. We’re in an alleyway standing next to a…

Owner Review: Dali Soft Watch – The Persistence of Memory

When I was younger, I was obsessed with Salvador Dalí. I spent hours in the museums of different countries. I read his memoirs and studied his works. During one trip to Spain in 2001, I visited a town of Figueres, which had a museum that Dalí created. I spent a day wandering from room to…

Owner Review: King Seiko Day Date 5626-7000

Now I have had a hankering for one of these King Seiko 5626-7000 Day Dates for a while, so when one popped up on a Facebook watch group after a wine or 4 , I jumped on it. This was my first horological purchase on that particular platform, it was a good price and you…

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille

When I decided that I wanted a Reverso, I was very interested in the possibility of getting a decoration on the back.

Owner Review: Rolex 1501 Blue Mosaic/Shantung

An Oyster case in 34mm, waterproof, well built and timeless design, I mean it is a Rolex 1501. A lot of men are concerned about wearing a 34mm watch but to be honest the 34mm Oyster case wears larger, especially with the engine turned bezel which I find also helps make the case look more…

Owner Review: Pelton Sector Nickel Silver Limited Edition

If I got a nickel every time someone complimented this Pelton Sector Nickel Silver Limited Edition, it would have paid for itself. But who cares what others think? It’s the enjoyment that the wearer gets from the watch that truly matters. Pelton Watches, based in Detroit, Michigan, USA, is run by Deni Mesanovic. On their…

Owner Review: Zelos Nova 38mm Salmon Dial

Due to being in lockdown and wanting to scratch my itch without killing the bank account, I started my research into various brands outside the large houses. Never in my wildest dreams, did I imagine it would lead me to my Zelos Nova 38mm Salmon Dial. Who are they you might ask? Zelos is based…

Owner Review: Franck Muller Crazy Hours

… That is Franck Muller. From a time where all had one and those that did not, needed one… to a time where wearing a Franck Muller Crazy Hours set you miles away from the knowledgeable collector crowd. Several scandals (nothing that other brands did not do, yet they never got caught…) and a commercial…

Owner Review: Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantieme

The Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantieme is instantly recognizable and unmistakably a Jaquet Droz to all the WIS out there and at 43mm it can hardly be missed. For most people, the sheer size of the watch will turn them away especially for a watch meant for dressier occasions. Jacquet Droz does offer a variant…

Owner Review: Ming 17.06 Copper

I bought the Ming 17.06 Copper on a whim. Well, I had heard a little about Ming, and knew that this was due to be released, but I logged on to the site about 24 hrs before I thought it was coming out and was surprised to see it had just been made available. The…
