For more than a hundred years, watchmaking has been synonymous with Switzerland. But following the quartz revolution in the 70s, the mechanical watch industry experienced a shakeup. Since then, smaller watchmakers from around the world have been using Swiss technology to create their own unique designs. I’m always interested in a good microbrand, and Tusenö […]

Not every watch has to be an expensive investment from a premium brand. Sometimes, the best watch is one that’s durable and reliable. It also doesn’t hurt if it’s a slick-looking timepiece.

WT Author 1984 White Orbit Limited Edition Watch Review
Despite being a newer watchmaker, WT Author is quickly becoming one of my favorite brands. They’ve made a name for themselves developing unique watches with bright, colorful designs.

W.T. Author N˚ 1934 Automatic Watch Review
As my regular readers will know, I’m a sucker for a good quality microbrand. One of my favorites is W.T. Author, a newer watchmaker based in Shropshire, UK. What makes W.T. Author special is the way they make their watches. Instead of mass-producing their watches in a large factory, every timepiece is assembled by hand […]
Nordgreen Copenhagen Pioneer Review
As regular readers will know, I have a soft spot for microbrands and new manufacturers. Yes, brands like Omega and Patek Philippe make some gorgeous timepieces and have carved out a secluded market of their own, but many smaller watchmakers produce some impressivly designed watches as well. That’s certainly true for Nordgreen, a Danish company […]
