Owner Review: Rolex 1501 Blue Mosaic/Shantung

An Oyster case in 34mm, waterproof, well built and timeless design, I mean it is a Rolex 1501. A lot of men are concerned about wearing a 34mm watch but to be honest the 34mm Oyster case wears larger, especially with the engine turned bezel which I find also helps make the case look more…

Owner Review: Pelton Sector Nickel Silver Limited Edition

If I got a nickel every time someone complimented this Pelton Sector Nickel Silver Limited Edition, it would have paid for itself. But who cares what others think? It’s the enjoyment that the wearer gets from the watch that truly matters. Pelton Watches, based in Detroit, Michigan, USA, is run by Deni Mesanovic. On their…

Owner Review: Zelos Nova 38mm Salmon Dial

Due to being in lockdown and wanting to scratch my itch without killing the bank account, I started my research into various brands outside the large houses. Never in my wildest dreams, did I imagine it would lead me to my Zelos Nova 38mm Salmon Dial. Who are they you might ask? Zelos is based…

Owner Review: Franck Muller Crazy Hours

… That is Franck Muller. From a time where all had one and those that did not, needed one… to a time where wearing a Franck Muller Crazy Hours set you miles away from the knowledgeable collector crowd. Several scandals (nothing that other brands did not do, yet they never got caught…) and a commercial…

Owner Review: Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantieme

The Jaquet Droz Grande Seconde Quantieme is instantly recognizable and unmistakably a Jaquet Droz to all the WIS out there and at 43mm it can hardly be missed. For most people, the sheer size of the watch will turn them away especially for a watch meant for dressier occasions. Jacquet Droz does offer a variant…

Owner Review: Ming 17.06 Copper

I bought the Ming 17.06 Copper on a whim. Well, I had heard a little about Ming, and knew that this was due to be released, but I logged on to the site about 24 hrs before I thought it was coming out and was surprised to see it had just been made available. The…

Owner Review: Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classic Small Seconds

The Jaeger LeCoultre Reverso Classic Small Seconds is gorgeous. I love this watch deeply and can’t imagine not owning one. I forgive its flaws because it is just so incredibly beautiful. The way the light plays off the high-polish case, the immediately identifiable shape and proportions, the beautiful guilloche dial and blued-steel hands, there’s nothing…

Owner Review: Cartier Santos 100

This is what happens when you casually walk into a jewelry store when visiting another city. You walk out with a Cartier Santos 100. The 2018 Santos is the familiar square shape but now has some subtle curves. The Roman numeral hour markers are still there. Those blue sword-style hands are worthy of the Game…

Owner Review: Cartier Crash

Having admired the Cartier Crash for several decades and having been confused over the case size of the various editions since the original was released by London in 1968, the closest encounter was with the ladies version which was way too small for me, even a diehard vintage collector where smaller case sizes are the…

Owner Review: Seiko Cocktail Time SRPB41

The Seiko Cocktail Time SRPB41 takes the renowned Seiko formula of great value, ravishing dials, unrelenting reliability and presents it in the presage line up. This watch has been around for some time and is a fan favourite among enthusiasts, but should you buy the hype? With a 40mm steel case, rather slim proportions and…
