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 […]
Audric Strider Angular Watch Review
In a fever pitched market, everyone wants in on the action. With a short list of iconic but nearly unobtainable sports watches you are left with a room full of other options that range from tastefully inspired pieces to less than savory doppelgängers. And, at this party while most eyes are on the “elites,” and […]

Released in 2018, the first generation Lorier […]
Circula SuperSport Super-Compressor Dive Watch Review
These days it often feels like I’m seeing the same 10 to 20 watches again and again. I don’t even have to name them, these usual suspects have probably etched themselves to you inner eyelids you see them each night as you lay down to sleep. While these watches get all the press time and […]
MT&W Eclipse Vintage Chronograph Watch Review
In the world of mechanical watches, there are plenty of established brands, building some top quality timepieces. But if you want to find a truly innovative design, sometimes you have to go off the beaten path, and look at some designs from newer microbrands. Some times, these designs are flops, mere gimmicks that are doomed […]
RZE Valour Titanium Meca-Quartz Chronograph Watch Review
When most people think of a modern watch, they think of one of two things. The first is the kind of watch I usually review: luxury mechanical watches, designed first and foremost for enthusiast or those who enjoy the finer things in life. The second is a simple timepiece built for accuracy; think of the […]
Undone X Staple Pigeon Yin-Yang Watch Review
Hong Kong-based watch manufacturer Undone is known for their collaborations with other companies. Last month, I wrote about their collaboration with Simple Union, a leatherworker headquartered in Japan. That watch, Undone x Simple Union Urushi, has become a major success. In fact, its companion, the limited-edition Sometsuke, is already sold out. Today, I’ll be looking at […]
