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…

Owner Review: IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41

Sometimes a wise but often dangerous thing a watch enthusiast can do is lay their collection on the table and look at it, by doing that many factors can of course come into play. You may look at it and decide that some pieces need the chop, while in other cases its a matter of…

Owner Review: Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch

There’s not much more to be said about the Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch that hasn’t been said already by every man and his best friend… However, what I will attempt to explain is how I went to being bashful and skeptical of the watch to growing fond of it. Allow me to tell you about…

Owner Review: Habring2 Time Only 2009

The deep black gloss of the outer chapter ring, finely executed small seconds at 9, and rich shine of the indices drew me in on that sunny Saturday morning at a small independent watch retailer in 2013. Years and many hours of wear later proved that the allure of the Habring2 Time Only 2009 was not…
