Owner review: Ratio Skysurfer

Flieger watches are iconic in their own right, but making a good-looking flieger is not an easy thing – make it too fateful to the original design and you risk it looking just like all other fliegers on the market; make it too different and suddenly you don’t have a flieger watch anymore. It’s a…

Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Classic Medium Reverso

Jaeger LeCoultre Classic Medium Reverso (Q2548441), under the radar high horology. What is the watch that constantly gives you a natural high and happiness? To me, it’s always been the Jaeger LeCoultre Classic Medium Reverso. Prior to my being active in this crazy watch hobby, most of the watches that I owned have always leaned…

Owner review: MB&F Legacy Machine LM101

It is hard to believe that someone would say that Max Busser can’t actually design a watch! There have been many who have dared to criticise his horological machines. Some have been so bold as to say that he can only create toys! From my perspective, the MB&F Legacy Machine LM101 makes a very clear…

Owner review: Urban Jurgensen 1140

In 2019 I went to Hong Kong to collect a watch I acquired from an independent watchmaker that was delivered to my friend there for tax purposes. Whilst there a friend recommended a watch dealer that was known for specialising in small independent watches. When I visited the store I was shown a lot of…

Owner review: Bradley Taylor Paragon

I first saw the Bradley Taylor Paragon early in February of 2021. Without doubt, it was the perfectly crafted purple hands that captured and held my gaze. After my eyes finally scanned the rest of the dial it was apparent that the light play on the uniquely designed applied Breguet style numerals was also breathtaking.…

Owner review: Citizen Silver Leaf Lacquer NB1060-12L

The way I typically decide to buy a watch is very deliberate, reading multiple reviews, watching youtube videos and memorizing all the specs. I’ll try on the watch if possible in stores then I’ll hit every manner of website to try to track the lowest prices. That wasn’t the case with the Citizen Silver Leaf…

Owner review: Tudor Black Bay GMT 79830RB

I have lusted after a Tudor Black Bay GMT 79830RB since 2018 when it was released alongside the Rolex GMT Pepsi. For some reason, I just found the Tudor more appealing and of course, it being half the price of the Rolex it seemed like the Tudor GMT was a much better value proposition. I…

Owner review: M.A.D.1 Red

A lot has already been written about how the M.A.D.1 Red watch came about, and the relationship to Max Busser and MB&F so I won’t rehash it here. Suffice to say, I was one of the people who emailed MAD Galleries when the original M.A.D.1 Blue was released, to express interest in purchasing one if they…
