In the myriad of existing Cartier watch designs, the Santos line proposes a very bold look, and yet also an immense variety of options to choose from. From the extremely rare museum pieces dating back to the start of the 20th century, to the latest batch of novelties, there is a world of watches to…

Owner Review: Cartier Santos Dumont Ultra Thin – That Made Me a Broken Man…
I never thought I’d be here when it first started, when I first embarked on my watch journey years ago. Where some thought “timeless” I thought “antiquated”, simple indices over roman numerals, complications over simplicity, and a watchbox to wake to rather than a watch that remained on my waking wrist. Yet, here I am…

Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Moon – Stars Like a Piece of Art
The Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso remains one of the iconic design that stays true to its origins. In late 2018, I was looking for a dress watch with moonphase to commemorate my wedding. I have always been fascinated by the moonphase complication which adds a touch of romance and elegance to the timepiece. What more fitting occasion…

Owner Review: H. Moser & Cie Centre Seconds Blue Lagoon
I have a simple rating system for watches – when I strap it on, do I smile? Well, let me introduce you to one that makes me grin like an idiot – the H. Moser & Cie Centre Seconds Blue Lagoon. We are watch freaks, and for me watches are art. For functionality, my iPhone…

Owner Review: Anordain Model 2 fume dial
A small team in Scotland dedicates a lot of energy to make watches. They are Anordain. Known for their hand-made enamel dials, there is much more to their watches than just the dials. The Model 2 comes with plain enamel dials, like on the Model 1 but with different colors or with “fumé” dials. It’s…

Owner Review: HMT White Pilot – Very Rare, Yet Very Affordable
India’s Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru believed that building watches domestically was a national imperative. Thus, Hindustan Machine Tools (HMT) was founded as a state-owned enterprise to ensure an adequate supply of economical watches. The watches were made by the millions, in classic designs, at prices that many people could afford. The subject of this review,…

Owner Review: Omega Seamaster 14770 – 1962 (MCMLXII)
Bio: This Omega was made in 1962. This particular case model, the 14770, is known as a transition model from a “pre-de ville” Seamaster to the Seamaster De Ville, meaning some dials would have or not have a “de ville” under the seamaster text. I personally prefer the non-de ville dial which was only produced…

Owner Review: Glashutte Original Senator Karree Perpetual Calendar – A perpetual calendar you can ACTUALLY read the date on.
In watch making, a perpetual calendar function signifies a watch where the date automatically adjusts for each month of the year including leap years. Provided you continue wearing the watch (or keep it on the winder), you will not need to adjust the date until the year 2100 (which is the next exception to the…

Owner Review: Nomos Orion Weis – A little, big taste of Glashütte
Here is my Nomos Orion Weis in 33mm (well, 32.8mm if you want to be exact). It hails from the renowned German watchmaking town of Glashütte in the state of Saxony that is often associated with their bigger neighbors, A. Lange & Söhne and Glashütte Original. Despite NOMOS having practically zero history or ties to…
