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

Owner Review: Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622
Before we get to my Rolex Yacht-Master 40 126622 review, we need some background. In 1992 Rolex introduced a watch that shared the silhouette of their beloved Submariner but in solid 18k yellow gold, embossed YG bezel insert soldered to the bezel, funky white dial, and the unusual name “Yacht-Master” written where “Submariner” would normally live.

Owner Review: Formex Essence Thirtynine
It’s a great time to be a collector and I love the new Formex Essence Thirtynine that has emerged from the proliferation of micro-brands, although what constitutes one is a topic for another day. It has meant a boom in design and options for those of us who’ve started with Seikos (and who hasn’t?), are

Owner Review: Heuer Monaco Calibre 11
Heuer fans, accustomed to an aesthetic patterning the golden era of racing-informed chronographs and exemplified by the Carrera and the Autavia, have long been indoctrinated to believe the Heuer Monaco Calibre 11 was another iteration of this design philosophy. That along with racing-livery hues and uber-masculine presences (aka McQueen), there could be no higher form

Owner Review: Zlatoust ChS195
Opening the box of the Zlatoust ChS195 is like opening a portal into the past – the smell of the hand-made, plain wooden box, the rough folded paper, containing the technical data and the warranty and, of course, the watch itself. Milled from a single piece of steel, it really feels more like an instrument

Owner Review: IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 C.03
Much like my day job is a happy collision of my favorite health system & favorite city, the IWC Pilot’s Watch Chronograph 41 C.03 for Collective is the result of two things coming together nicely: a search for a water-resistant chronograph and discovering Collective Horology, a private (but growing) enthusiast group that began in Silicon

Owner Review: Rolex Ceramic Daytona 116500LN
First released in 2016 as a replacement to the 116520, the steel Rolex Ceramic Daytona 116500LN is today one of the most iconic and sought after of all Rolex pieces – to say it is a legendary model is absolutely not an exaggeration in the current climate, where earlier variants of this models have been

That dial is just fntastic.
Very cool watch. I have always wondered about the bronze models. Is the caseback bronze as well? If so do…
