Owner Review: Vortic Watch – Restoring Classics to their Former Glory
We all know about American Muscle Cars and many of us will attest to being Mustang, Charger, Corvette or Camaro fans but have you heard of the American Muscle Watch from Vortic? Nah… me neither until I started to pen this review and it just felt right to coin the phrase. I have not doubt

Owner Review: De Bethune DB27 Titan Hawk
Like many watch collectors, I started with collecting mainstream brands, before learning more about the independent brands and falling in love with them. De Bethune is an independent brand that stands out to me due to its cutting-edge technology and very modern designs, three GPHG awards including the “Aiguille d’Or” Grand Prix in 2011, wide

Owner Review: Moser Pioneer Centre Seconds – Big & Curvaceous
The day I am writing this review marks exactly two months with the Moser Pioneer Centre Seconds on the wrist and it has pretty much been that way because I have struggled to take it off. Where do I start? To me, the Moser Pioneer is the full package, a beautiful watch, great movement, sexy

Owner Review: Breitling Navitimer Automatic 38
I feel Breitling get a bad rep, not as bad as Tag heuer but that’s the impression I get and don’t understand why. In spite of this I’ve long admired their watches, especially the Navitimer from afar, ultimately being too big and inaccessible. But a couple of years ago Breitling changed that. In a stroke

Owner Review: Ochs und Junior Annual Calendar 42mm
The Ochs und Junior Annual Calendar is my newest piece in the collection. I have wanted an Ochs und Junior for many years now, having admired them on friends’ wrists and having visited then CEO Beat Weinmann in Lucern 3 years ago. I found this Ochs und Junior Annual Calendar pre-owned. The design on the

Owner Review: Invicta Pro Diver Bronze – The Best Entry Bronze Watch?
The Invicta Pro Diver Bronze 25643 is one of the best entry-level bronze watches. The Invicta Pro Diver is a fairly large (45mm in diameter) watch with a good strap. The watch case, buckle and bezel are made of tin bronze. The transparent back cover allows you to see not the most beautiful, but reliable

Owner Review: Ming 18.01 Diver – Promise of a Design Icon
If you think diver watch, you are most likely thinking Rolex Submariner, Omega Seamaster or, if you are on a budget, one of the many excellent options from Seiko. I very much doubt that you are thinking about the Ming 18.01 Diver. Ming is a young micro-brand, named after Ming Thein, one of its six

Owner Review: Ochs und Junior Day Night – Run to Catch Up with the Sun
Racing around to come up behind you again … The “Dark Side of the Moon” was game-changing. So is the Ochs und Junior Day Night. It is hard to describe this watch in a few words; can a mechanical watch be any smarter? The Ochs und Junior Day Night is, so to speak, a smartwatch

Owner Review: TAG Heuer F1 – My Attempt to Change Your Mind
TAG Heuer is a brand that has been dogged by controversies. Yes it has made significant mistakes in the past but that doesn’t necessarily define the brand. For me TAG Heuer as a brand was polarizing, seeing an advertisement on TV and magazines with A-list celebrities made me think of the brand as the best

Owner Review: Baltic Aquascaphe Blue Gilt
I think we can all agree the ’60s were a veritable horological heyday. Even if we can’t, that’s okay, because obviously, brands like Baltic agree. They are clearly inspired by and pick up where that era of design left off. Their line of Aquascaphe dive watches are no exception. Instagram photos of the faux-gilt, glossy

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…
