Owner Review: Hautlence HL08 by @brownsvillewatchguy
A quick history of Hautlence first. Founded in 2004, its name is an anagram of Neuchatel. It’s a brand known for TV shaped cases with jumping hours and retrograde minutes. In 2013 it was acquired by MELB Holding (Meylan family), H. Moser’s parent company. Now the beautiful thing about Fifth Wrist is that I can flat…

Owner Review: Fears Brunswick 38 Silver Sector Topper Edition by @time_chapter
The Fears Brunswick 38 ‘Silver Sector’ Topper Edition BS23800B is the third watch in the ongoing partnership between the Bristol-based watchmaker and Topper, the Californian jeweller. It is a departure from their two previous collaborations with a contemporary sector dial and sub-seconds that is reminiscent of Fears dials produced in the ‘30s and ‘40s, which…

Owner Review: Enicar «Super Jet» by @thatmalchik
The Super Jet: Perfect Contradiction The Enicar Super Jet is my ultimate oddball of the late 60s tool watch era. A square peg GMT crammed perfectly into the dive watch circle hole. A bit of an oddball myself, I can’t help but feel a little too well summed up by an in the air tool…

Owner Review: Helm Vanuatu Titanium by @a.cesnovar
Helm watches have built a cult following in the microbrand community and for a good reason – they offer original designs and unparalleled quality for the price. And as demand kept increasing over the years, they’ve managed to keep their prices relatively unchanged. What’s the catch? – you might ask, because undoubtedly there has to…

Owner Review: Oris Big Crown Father Time by @omar_luxury_
The watch industry has become quite polarized in the past few years. Unprecedented hype and demand for certain brands have tainted the “fun of collecting.” This has made watches seem primarily like status symbols or commodities to flip. Yet, there are brands that offer great value and fun watches that fulfill the joy of watch…

Owner Review: Tudor Oyster 7394 Small Rose by @timely_behaviour
It’s hot and terribly humid, you fight your way through the forest undergrowth. This is the moment you wanted, months of planning for this expedition. Still you trudge on, covered in weeks of rainforest filth, sweat, blood from a couple of minor accidents. You notice the rest of your group are tired, the light in…

Owner Review: Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT Automatic by @watchesandwords
A dressy steel sports watch? Sure. The Parmigiani Fleurier Tonda GT is a large, modern but elegant watch. I have admired the distinguished watches of the Parmigiani Fleurier brand since they first appeared around the mid-1990s. I liked the fact that the watches of this brand are rather less known and inconspicuous. And I am…

Owner Review: Kudoke 2 Bluebird by @natecho
I had first heard of Kudoke a few years prior to when I started really paying attention to this lovely husband and wife duo. At that time they were doing mostly skeletonized pieces which didn’t interest me as much. But fast forward to 2019, and seeing all the pictures that came with being nominated /…
