Owner Review: Cartier Tank Must

I’d say I’m quite a rational person and that reflects in my way of collecting watches. I usually think and learn about a watch for some time, save money, order the piece etc. But that’s not the story with this one. I knew about the Cartier Tank Must from their release in April 2021 but just when I saw…

Owner Review: Seiko SPB243

Through thunderous clouds they descend upon you: the gods of the watch-y-verse. With earthquake-inducing force, they slam into the ground producing a shockwave powerful enough to tear the watch off your wrist. Towering over you, armed with Breguet hand spears, clad in armor of sapphire and stainless steel, brandishing watch-dial-shields with complications only worthy of…

Owner Review: Citizen Caliber 0100

What is the purpose of a watch? Most fundamentally it is to keep the time, and to tell the time; to state as much is an objective statement of fact (otherwise I don’t know what we’re all doing). We can keep time in a few different ways, but quartz watchmaking, like the Citizen Caliber 0100,…

Owner Review: Seiko SCVS001

No matter if you’re a seasoned collector, a dabbling hobbyist, or new to the world of horology, if you’ve ever had your watch-yearning eye on Seiko you’ve most likely come across the SARB line but you may have never heard of the Seiko SCVS001.

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface

It’s been a minute since my last review and well honestly, I think I need to pull my weight around here at Fifthwrist. For the last 7 months I’ve had the pleasure of owning this Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Tribute Monoface and the least I can do is share with you what I think about it. What…

Owner review: Ballon Bleu De Cartier

As a female with an interest in horology the Ballon Bleu De Cartier strikes a cord with me. I often get baffled by the lack of understanding that women, indeed, can enjoy both men’s and women’s watches. Often, a lady’s watch does not carry the same value as men’s, simply because it is perceived that…

Owner review: Rolex Day-Date Everose 36mm Eisenkissel Dial

Ask any watch collector about a Rolex and I’m sure some will tell you that the Rolex Day-Date is the epitome of what Rolex has to offer. The Day-Date is colloquially referred to as the Rolex President as a few US Presidents have been pictured wearing Day-Dates. While Rolex doesn’t specifically refer to Day-Dates as…

Owner review: Hamilton Jazzmaster Traveler GMT

The Hamilton Jazzmaster Traveler GMT totally challenged my notion that no watch is perfect. As watch enthusiasts, we are conditioned to know that no watch is perfect. Be it in the design or the features, there’s always something missing from a given piece. And no watch can have it all – it’s almost like an…

Owner review: Tissot PRX Powermatic 80

The Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 is a watch you can actually buy! We live in a world now of horological shortages which are affecting a number of high end Swiss watch brands such as Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, FP Journe, and even Vacheron Constantin. It doesn’t stop there. Even Tudor’s popular models such as…

Owner review: Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar

What first attracted me to the Glashütte Original PanoMaticLunar was the movement – cal. 90-02. It is possibly the most well balanced automatic movement I’ve ever seen. It is not just the finish, which is of course immaculate, but the whole composition of the pretty big micro-rotor, that works perfectly with the ¾ plate. In comparison,…
