Patek Philippe Annual Calendar 5035 Owner Review by @watchesandwords

The practical complication of Patek Philippe, the Annual Calendar Ref. 5035 confuses most of the people I know. Firstly people do not know that Patek introduced the annual calendar complication with this watch at the 1996 Baselworld fair as a part of the practical complications collection. The annual calendar complication is invented by Patek Philippe.…

Ball Trainmaster Moon Phase Owner Review by @nubenuberson

If you want a moonphase but not a dress watch, this watch might be an option. The Ball Trainmaster Moon Phase is too large and too loud for formal wear but is a great choice for a night out. You actually get to see your moonphase when the moon is out. Also unlike most moon…

Owner review: Habring2 Felix

When you think of Austria, elegance might not be the first thing that comes to mind. Rather one thinks of Schwarzenegger, Sound of Music, or Yodeling (Tourists quickly fall for our charm). It is all the more surprising that Austria is home to an independent watchmaker whose timepieces perfectly capture the essence of classic watchmaking…

I don’t know what triggers it but it feels warm and fuzzy inside to be able to contribute and support the growth of a thing.

Owner review: MB&F M.A.D.1 Red

I wish I was a little bit taller, I wish I was a baller, I wish I had an MB&F coz that’s so much cooler… I am neither particularly tall, nor do I excel at ball sports. And I certainly can’t afford to buy an MB&F. Or can I? In the heady days of Covid,…

Owner review: Ophion 786 Vélos

I can remember my reaction when I saw the Ophion 786 Vélos back in the days (during the COVID period). I instantly thought: “What a beautiful looking and tasteful watch.” My second thought was: “This is too good to be true, either it will be enormously costly or the waiting time will kill my patience”…

Owner review: Grand Seiko SLGH005

Yet another exiting reference number from Grand Seiko, thankfully this model has got another name, the “white birch”. Even tough I can see the birch forest in the dial maybe it’s a bit to silvery to be named the “White birch”. Let’s not get stuck in the whole name thing. When the Grand Seiko SLGH005…
