Owner review: Tudor Black Bay Chrono M79360N

I have always loved the look of the original Paul Newman Daytona, that is why I was so excited when the Tudor Black Bay Chrono M79360N was released in 2021. I contacted my authorized dealer right away and ordered one, it took a while for the watch to arrive but in this case, the wait…

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…

Owner review: Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time

I am gladly writing my honest opinion from an enthusiastic watch collector’s point of view on my Vacheron Constantin Overseas Dual Time. Normal people can’t understand how a simple picture of a watch sent via WhatsApp can make your dream and Grail watch come true, and make you very Happy. I opened my Authorised Dealer’s…

Owner review: Benrus 3061 – The Bullitt Benrus

When I was young, one of my favourite movies was The Great Escape with Steve McQueen, especially when you watch him run away from the Germans on the recently commandeered motorbike. To me he was one of the coolest people to ever live, his style, the cars he owned, there just will never be anyone…

Owner review: Davosa Argonautic Lumis – Chunk Of Goodness

I’m the first to admit I’m a sucker for dual crown watches. Don’t ask, I don’t know why either. In fact, I started the #TwoCrownTuesday tag on IG in hopes to see more of them! When I saw the Davosa Argonautic Lumis it was the proverbial cheesy love at first sight. This particular model is…

Owner Review: Vintage ZentRa

Often you hear, that the watch virus was passed on from father to son. Not so in my case. My father was always wearing cheap department-storesque quartz watches. Actually I purchased the last one he wore, as my mother – I must have been around 20 this time – asked me to buy him a…

Owner Review: Massena LAB Dato-Racer

Last Thursday morning, an email popped up in my inbox from Massena LAB announcing the release of a 99-piece limited edition, 1970’s-inspired three-hander: the Massena LAB Dato-Racer. Similar to the email only release of the Geometer back in February, the email said there would be no watch media and no social media promoting this piece,…

Owner Review: Steinhart Military 47 – Unique Flieger

Long before I found this Steinhart Military 47 I have always had a special liking for German made products. I even took on a language course during school days. The thing that I admire the most about German made products is the craftsmanship. Nothing beats the submarine steel of Sinn & Damasko, and Lange is…

Owner Review: Victorinox SC 1500

A watch made by Victorinox is generally a must-have for anyone obsessed with EDC, if for nothing but the fact that Victorinox is a part of EDC legend and lore. The I.N.O.X is the one watch that always held my imagination, but given the considerable wrist-space it demands, was never a practical choice & the…

Owner Review: Seiko Flightmaster SNA411

Recent events have convinced me that we indeed live in interesting times. On the back of three strange pandemic years, war in Europe, and other factors leading to all kinds of shortages and price hikes across many industries.Do we find ourselves in a similar situation with watches? Some of us found comfort in the fact…
