When you’ve been as lucky to travel the world as I have, you realize just how region-specific certain brands and their level of success are. Where I’m from, in Manchester, England, Mido is basically non-existent. With just three official dealers in the UK (compared to 67 in the USA), the brand barely registers on the […]
Vapaus Velie 1950 Slate Grey Watch Review
Vapaus is an independent watch company based on British soil. Owned by brothers Oliver and Rudi, they started the company with the aim to craft beautifully, vintage-inspired watches, and they did so with the Veli 1950 Slate Grey. If they were aiming to leave a legacy that can only be matched by brands such as […]
Raymond & Pearl Horizon Quartz Watch Review
When it comes to affordable Swiss-made watch brands, you probably have a level of perception of reliability, precision and good construction in mind which are all good qualities.

Inspired by the straightforward classic Nomos Tangente, Rodina R005 aims to relive Bauhaus style and quality craftsmanship at a very accessible price.

Mido Dorada M0096101603120 Watch Review
Let’s not deceive ourselves. Mido’s Dorada collection isn’t exactly an incarnation of originality and innovation. Unfortunately, the M0096101603120 is no exception. But, and it’s a big but, it would be wrong to say that this piece doesn’t provide excellent value for money. On the contrary, it’s the traditional, timeless watchmaking that has kept Mido in […]

Genévese watchmakers have been known for their extraordinary attention to detail but few come close to Frederique. From initial design to final assembly, this relatively new Swiss brand is involved in every step of their watch production.
