Owner Review: Tudor Royal M28500-0003

Say hello to the Tudor Royal M28500-0003 – a stunning timepiece with a lovely integrated bracelet. At 38mm it wears relatively well on my 16cm Asian sized wrist, where the black, sunray finished dial gives a different look as you expose it at different angles in the light. It comes with a notched bezel in…

Owner Review: Citizen Jet Auto Dater

The soft whine that began somewhere behind you has grown to a dull roar. As the speed increases, you feel your body being pushed back into your seat. You’re aware of a faint mechanical rattle and the clinking of the white coffee cups and saucers stored in the galley just ahead. The angle of the…

Owner Review: Seiko Lord Matic 5216-8020

Tokyo, summer, 1976. Hiroshi toils away late into the night performing tedious cost calculations at the offices of Yamato Construction, desperately trying to impress the boss. If only he could prove himself to Yamato-san, he’d surely get that big promotion. He looks down at his wrist to check the time; He’s going to miss the…

Owner Review: Kudoke 2 – affordable independent

I first noticed Stefan Kudoke when I saw some posts on Instagram with his very elaborate skeletonized watches. Beautiful and very skillfully done, but not really for me. Then one day I saw a post of a different watch, which also turned out to be from his hands: The Kudoke 2 with his own, very…

Owner Review: Piaget Tiger Eye 9741

Piaget is an interesting brand. They simply don’t get the credit they deserve. Not only are they movement makers, but they are also movement innovators. This Piaget Tiger Eye 9741 sports the famed 9P movement, the slimmest movement ever created at the time. Piaget has continued to push the boundaries when it comes to making…

Owner Review: Frederique Constant Slimline Perpetual Calendar

Frederique Constant is a brand that offers serious value. A newer brand that has 15 in-house movements under their umbrella, impressive? Yes. I am no stranger to the brand, back in 2015 my first decent watch was a Frederique Constant. Since then I have added quite a few watches to my collection, then it came…

Owner Review: Tissot Everytime – My First Night Out with a New Watch

I’m completely sober waiting with my unbalanced and slurring friends outside of a nightclub. My white button-down shirt is stained with someone else’s vodka and Coke. I look down at my Tissot Everytime. The dial reads 11 o’clock. We have been standing in line since before 10. We’re in an alleyway standing next to a…

Owner Review: Dali Soft Watch – The Persistence of Memory

When I was younger, I was obsessed with Salvador Dalí. I spent hours in the museums of different countries. I read his memoirs and studied his works. During one trip to Spain in 2001, I visited a town of Figueres, which had a museum that Dalí created. I spent a day wandering from room to…

Owner Review: King Seiko Day Date 5626-7000

Now I have had a hankering for one of these King Seiko 5626-7000 Day Dates for a while, so when one popped up on a Facebook watch group after a wine or 4 , I jumped on it. This was my first horological purchase on that particular platform, it was a good price and you…

Owner Review: Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille

When I decided that I wanted a Reverso, I was very interested in the possibility of getting a decoration on the back. My wife and I were in one of our favourite watch shops in Copenhagen on a Saturday afternoon, and I was really attracted to the Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso Grande Taille. I liked this model…
