    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

    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.

    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

    A white textured dial inspired by the winter seasons of Japan, blue seconds hand, superb value proposition with impressive finishing? It can only be Grand Seiko. Wait, no, hang on. This is no GS.
