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

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.

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: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultrathin Duoface

If there is a watch that can make one feel like an early 20th Century dandy, the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Ultrathin Duoface delivers this in spades, and then some.

Everybody who knows me knows that I love day dates. I love them so much that I wrote another article on how they were the genesis for my journey into watchmaking. Have a look here if you dare question my love for this iconic watch. I haven’t changed my mind about them. I still think

Owner Review: Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950

Originally introduced during the year 2011 in precious metal only, the Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda 1950 was then announced in 2017 in steel also.
