    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

    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

    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…

    Owner review: Corum Bubble – One of a kind

    Watch brand Corum and its conspicuous Corum Bubble design either makes others gawk in amazement or bring on Jim Carrey’s gag at an instant. In early 2000s Corum and Panerai continued the “big watch” trend Invicta was well known for. This piece has a 44mm case, 54mm lug height and 20mm super high dome sapphire…

    Owner review: Ming 17.09

    When MING announced the new Ming 17.09 I actually was still in no-new-watch-for-at-least-a-year-mode. But the new offering was so attractive to me in terms of design and price that I reluctantly decided to try the annoying ordering procedure. But then – this was communicated from the start – I had to wait 12 months! You…
