Owner review: Nomos Orion Neomatik Silvercut

I’m no stranger to Nomos, the Nomos Orion Neomatik Silvercut is the fourth one I’ve owned. It came up for sale from a fellow watch collector, barely used, so I just went for it. I’ve been looking for my next Nomos, but wanted something different from my Club and Lambda. The fact that the Nomos Orion…

Owner review: Cartier Drive de Cartier Moon Phases

I was one of the first owners of the Cartier Drive de Cartier Moon Phases when it first came out in 2017. I thought of parting with it several times but it still is in my collection after all these years because I still like it. This has primarily been my go-to “dress watch” due…

Owner review: Junghans Max Bill Automatic

One might argue that wearing a wristwatch such as the Junghans Max Bill Automatic is no longer a necessity. Time, implements to use in the measurement of time, are all around us. On our computers, on our tablets, on our smart phone. Certainly, as I write this, the time appears in digital format in a…

Owner review: Audemars Piguet Code 11.59

The Audemars Piguet Code 11.59 measures 41mm from side to side, minus the crown, and 50mm from lug to lug. I wish the watch was 40mm or smaller but 41 is not a dealbreaker for me, as I wear what I like regardless of perceived fit. The lug to lug could have been shaved down…

Owner review: Omega Constellation Pie Pan 168.005

The Omega Constellation is a watch that has been around for decades and comes in hundreds of variations. However, there is one version that defined what some would call the most stylish generation: The Omega Constellation Pie Pan 168.005. Seen on the wrists of icons like Elvis Pressley and Al Pacino in “The Godfather”, the…

Owner review: Tudor Ranger 79950

39mm 39mm 39mm I’ve been hearing that in my head more than I hear the phrase pop of color from watch reviewers on YouTube. So when I heard the Tudor Ranger 79950 was released, I called the ADs in town and 11 days later I was lucky enough to get the first one in. So…

Owner review: Hermes Arceau Grande Lune

I recently purchased the Hermes Arceau Grande Lune and I must say it is an elegant dress watch. This version comes with the blue calf skin strap with deployant clasps. Coming in at 43mm, legibility is good for people with waning eyesight. The power reserve of the Hermes Arceau Grande Lune comes in at 42…

Owner review: Seiko 5 GMT SSK001

Prior to the whole COVID situation, travelling used to be quite a frequent event for me, either for family holidays, or to attend work-related conferences. When COVID hit, all that changed, but I remain hopeful that hassle-free travel will return. Hence, I’m presenting my new Seiko 5 GMT SSK001! Hoping for it to accompany on…

Owner review: Nomos Lambda

Since I started collecting watches I’ve always been intrigued by Nomos. The German brand has a lot going for it; iconic Bauhaus design, in-house movements, and excellent quality, all at a relatively reasonable price. During my search for the first Nomos, the Lambda in steel was launched. Yes, it was very attractive, but way too…
