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 […]
WT Author No 1953 White Automatic Watch Review
WT Author is a relatively new watchmaker, based in Shropshire, UK. If you’ve never heard of them, it’s either because they’re so new, or because they make so few watches. These aren’t just any watches. They’re all made by a two-man team: designer Sam Holland, and watchmaker Jon Shakespeare, and most of them are limited […]
DWISS M3 Automatic Watch Review
DWISS is a younger watch company, first founded in 2011. But it actually goes back a bit further. The founder, Rafael Simoes Miranda, won a number of design awards for his earlier work in Italy. The next year, in 2012, DWISS would win its first International Design Award. They’ve since won 10 more, including the […]
Ignite Automatic Skeleton Watch Review
If you know me, you know I’m open to watches of all types. Whether it’s haute horology or whether it comes from a brand new microbrand, a good watch is a good watch. So when Ignite Watches came to my attention, I wasn’t put off by the fact that the company is basically one guy. […]
Undone X Simple Union Urushi Watch Review
On April 28th, up-and-coming watchmaker Undone announced the third in a series of collaborations with Japanese craft house Simple Union. This began in 2019 with a focus on the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi (impermanence and imperfection). In 2020, their second collaboration, a 300-watch limited edition, sold out within two days of its launch. And as […]
Vaer D5 Tropic Dive Watch Review
Vaer is a new, up-and-coming microbrand that was founded in 2016, when friends Reagan Cook and Ryan Torres pooled their savings, and built a prototype dive watch. These guys weren’t just watch enthusiasts; they also loved the ocean, and made waves by testing their watches in the real world as well as in their lab. […]
Bravur BW003 Watch Review
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 […]
