Benjamin James Scarifour: The Rectangular Four Point Winner
The creativity of the watch industry never ceases to amaze me. Just when you think you’ve seen the best microbrand iterations of a square or rectangular watch, something new comes along and takes first place. That’s why I’m calling this new and limited release from Benjamin James a “four point winner” – it’s executing on […]
Zenith Defy Revival A3648: Hands-On With a Cool Retro Watch
Zenith is one of our favorite brands, they strike a perfect balance between excellent in-house watchmaking and striking standout designs – without being ridiculously expensive. The Defy Revival A3648 we have here is a re-issue dive watch from 1969, plucked right out of the Zenith history book. It was a watch known, for its time, […]
Swan & Edgar Horizon Review: Steeped in British Coastal History
There’s few things that get us more excited than the combination of a microbrand and authentic British history, cue the new Swan & Edgar Horizon – a watch that’s been assembled in Maidenhead UK by well known Horologium and utilizing a Japanese Miyota 9015 movement. As someone who’s lived in London for over 5 years […]
Hands-On: The New Unimatic ProDiver Modello Uno U1-PD3-B
Unimatic has a been a relatively illusive brand for us here on the WRB. I’ve reached out to them before, requesting to review and handle various new releases from them without luck. It wasn’t until just a few weeks ago that I finally made contact with their PR department, and actually this time they had […]
Anicorn Cassini Nemesis: A Middle of the Summer Review
Well, when I made this article’s title it was the middle of the summer, but as you know, with two kids and time running short the creation of this review was postponed a couple weeks. So perhaps now, we’ve crossed the rubicon into what many would consider the “beginning of the end of the summer”. […]
The Mido Ocean Star GMT Rootbeer PVD: A Hands on Review
Mido holds a very interesting position within the watch industry. They’re affordably priced, but not so much so that they cheapen their brand prowess, and they’re also relatively less known than say brands like Tissot or Longines. This gives the prospective buyer a cool value proposition, a brand that’s niche enough to create an allure […]
Hands-On with the Jung J43C-01 Chronograph: Inspired by French Car Design
As a watch reviewer, there’s nothing like going hands-on with a new microbrand offering. Sure, Rolex, Omega, Seiko and many other big names make exciting watches with excellent craftsmanship, but their core DNA evolves slowly. Today we have the pleasure of inspecting and experiencing the Jung J43C-01 chronograph with the black dial, which is designed […]
Flash From the Past: The Stowa Flieger Classic Pilot Chrono
Stowa has always held a special place within our repertoire of hands-on watch reviews. They were one of the very first brands that we reviewed shorty after our founding in 2015. We were lucky enough to receive samples from them back in 2018, with our review of the Stowa Partitio and then subsequently in 2019 […]
The Nomadic Fior 555: A Stunning GMT Watch Made in Ireland
The WRB is a decade strong, and we’ve reviewed watch brands from various locations around the globe, such as those from Germany, Czech Republic, England, Hong Kong – and many more non-Swiss locations. Today marks what I believe is our first hands-on look at a really stunning watch that’s made entirely in Ireland – Belfast […]
