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. The word Tonda derives from the Venetian word Tondo, the round canvas on which Renaissance artists created works of art and refers to the round case shape of the watch, while 1950…

Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classic Small Seconds

The Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classic Small Seconds is gorgeous. I love this watch deeply and can’t imagine not owning one. I forgive its flaws because it is just so incredibly beautiful. The way the light plays off the high-polish case, the immediately identifiable shape and proportions, the beautiful guilloche dial and blued-steel hands, there’s nothing…

Before we get to my review of the Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Tribute To 1931 we need to cover the history. Over 40 years before the now iconic Royal Oak, another legend was born out of necessity. The Reverso by JLC. Legend has it to fulfil the wishes of polo players who didn’t want to damage…

Owner Review: Seiko Presage Shippo Enamel SPB075J1

What I have here is the Seiko Presage Shippo Enamel – SPB075J1. The vast and immeasurable lineup of the Seiko Presage range can be likened to ‘how long is a piece of string’. Case in point, there’s the OG Seiko Cocktail Time – that in itself comes in a variety of colours, there is the…

Owner Review: Frederique Constant Classic Worldtimer

Wearing this wonderfully constructed watch on your wrist, one should look past the brand and appreciate the watch for what it really represents. The often underappreciated brand of Frederique Constant sometimes receives many critiques for imitating the much more famous brands Vacheron Constantin or Jaeger LeCoultre.

Owner Review: Stowa Marine Classic 36mm

The fully polished case of the Stowa Marine Classic 36mm wears well because the lugs are angled just right to hug the wrist. Speaking of the lugs, namely of their thickness, this case wears like a 38mm, giving it more presence, from lug to lug, it measures 44.6mm. The case thickness is at 11mm including…

The Seiko Cocktail Time SRPB41 takes the renowned Seiko formula of great value, ravishing dials, unrelenting reliability and presents it in the presage line up. This watch has been around for some time and is a fan favourite among enthusiasts, but should you buy the hype? With a 40mm steel case, rather slim proportions and…
