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: Seiko Presage SPRE11J1 Irish Coffee
The Seiko Presage SPRE11J1, is a limited edition of 1300 pieces worldwide and is only available in certain countries in Asia. I have never really considered Seiko watches in the past, however this particular one caught my attention. It is partly to do with my Reverso Tribute Moon, which was purchased 5 months prior to

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

Owner Review: Norqain Freedom 60 – A modern watch with a vintage feel.
Norqain is a new brand established in 2018 and is starting to grow rapidly in that short 2 years. Available in most major retailers around the world including the Hodinkee shop, the brand has that freshness to it that I find appealing. It has a lot to offer (for a new brand) – they are

Owner Review: Glashütte Original Panoreserve
Many would say that the best watches that come out of Glashütte are A. Lange & Söhne. I will not disagree, but on the other hand, I will argue that Glashütte Original make some watches of almost the same quality and finish. The main difference is that GO make their models in steel where ALS

Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Ultra Thin Reverso Tribute To 1948
I’m not a huge fan of re-editions, homages and tribute watches because I feel the watch industry should be looking forward with “nods” to the past not exact copies. However, this JLC Ultra-Thin Reverso TT48 is just different. When you put the original next to the tribute you can see that, while it is a

That dial is just fntastic.
Very cool watch. I have always wondered about the bronze models. Is the caseback bronze as well? If so do…
