About Ulises Valenzuela

Ulises's love for watches sparked at the wee age of five years old. Fast forward to today and he is now a chemical engineer by profession, with a side passion for mechanical watches, especially Swiss.

Lorier Neptune Series IV Watch Review

January 8, 2023 by Ulises Valenzuela Leave a Comment

Well, this is awkward. A year ago, I had the pleasure of reviewing the Lorier Neptune Series III, and one of my final thoughts was “if the Ortegas ever release a 38mm Neptune with a date window, my Omega Seamaster will be in serious trouble”. The latest Series IV Neptune isn’t 38mm, but a full […]

Lorier Neptune SIII Watch Review

January 4, 2022 by Ulises Valenzuela 2 Comments

You probably know their story by now. Former school teachers and watch aficionados Lorenzo and Lauren Ortega decided to call it quits on their careers and dive head-first into the scary world of microbrands, creating some of the most acclaimed and accessible timepieces of the last five years. Released in 2018, the first generation Lorier […]

Bravur BW003 Watch Review

January 11, 2021 by Ulises Valenzuela Leave a Comment

It is always a delight to find new and interesting brands in the horology landscape, even more so when they provide real value by taking care of the small details while manifesting a strong personality of their own. Today I have the pleasure of examining the midnight blue variant of the BW003, released in 2017 […]

Nomos Glashütte Tangomat GMT Watch Review

October 23, 2020 by Ulises Valenzuela Leave a Comment

When I started my journey into horology some five years ago, my immediate impulse was to cover all styles: multiple divers, a nice chronograph, a field watch, the occasional quartz movement…  In the dress watch department, Nomos Glashütte prominently stood out as a solid choice due to its minimal designs and outstanding movements. I had […]

Longines Heritage Classic Sector Dial Watch Review

September 21, 2020 by Ulises Valenzuela Leave a Comment

As a little kid, I was a bit, ahem, obsessed with cars. Glancing out the window from the backseat of my parents’ car, I used to mentally recite the model, brand, and year of every vehicle we passed by on the streets. Now, as a well-adjusted adult just mildly enthusiastic about watches and operating systems, […]

Longines Heritage Military Watch Review

March 10, 2020 by Ulises Valenzuela Leave a Comment

The vintage watch market is both a fantastic pathway to rare timepieces and, as any seasoned vintage watch collector can probably attest to, a potential monetary minefield. Lack of authenticity papers, unspecified modifications, and unknown service history can turn what would seem like a bargain into a financial nightmare in the blink of an eye. […]

Tsikolia Seven TW-7 Watch Review

March 5, 2020 by Ulises Valenzuela Leave a Comment

From time to time, it pays off to take a break from the big names in the wristwatch industry and cast your gaze instead towards the wonderful world of micro-brands. Today I have the pleasure of reviewing the phenomenal, limited-edition TW-7 from Tsikolia Watches (formerly known as UNIQ Watches), established in 2011 by renowned Georgian […]

Orient President Day Date Watch Review

January 3, 2020 by Ulises Valenzuela 23 Comments

Since the advent of the wristwatch industry, certain watches have transcended the aesthetic sensibilities of their time, having been envisioned to be worn for decades all the way back from the drawing board. The Rolex Datejust, and later the Rolex Day Date, are clear examples of this, and have spawned a plethora of both ill-fated […]

Omega Seamaster 300m Review: Clash of the Wave Dials

August 21, 2019 by Ulises Valenzuela 24 Comments

“The watch,” demands Alec Trevelyan, his henchmen holding James Bond at gunpoint. “Ah… new model?” he asks, closely examining 007’s Omega Seamaster against his own watch. 006’s Seamaster might have been long obsolete compared to Bond’s newer laser-equipped timepiece, but in the real world, only a couple of years had passed since Omega had unveiled […]

Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope Watch Review

May 20, 2019 by Ulises Valenzuela Leave a Comment

There comes a time in every watch collector’s journey when things start getting a little boring. Diver? Check. Pilot? Check. Dress watch? Check. Digital? Triple check. Sell some, buy some. Profit (yeah, right). Rinse, repeat. How is one supposed to break the cycle? Why, look no further than the Junghans Max Bill Chronoscope. A truly […]
