Unimatic has a been a relatively illusive brand for us here on the WRB. I’ve reached out to them before, requesting to review and handle various new releases from them without luck. It wasn’t until just a few weeks ago that I finally made contact with their PR department, and actually this time they had […]
Anicorn Cassini Nemesis: A Middle of the Summer Review
Well, when I made this article’s title it was the middle of the summer, but as you know, with two kids and time running short the creation of this review was postponed a couple weeks. So perhaps now, we’ve crossed the rubicon into what many would consider the “beginning of the end of the summer”. […]
The Mido Ocean Star GMT Rootbeer PVD: A Hands on Review
Mido holds a very interesting position within the watch industry. They’re affordably priced, but not so much so that they cheapen their brand prowess, and they’re also relatively less known than say brands like Tissot or Longines. This gives the prospective buyer a cool value proposition, a brand that’s niche enough to create an allure […]
Hands-On with the Jung J43C-01 Chronograph: Inspired by French Car Design
As a watch reviewer, there’s nothing like going hands-on with a new microbrand offering. Sure, Rolex, Omega, Seiko and many other big names make exciting watches with excellent craftsmanship, but their core DNA evolves slowly. Today we have the pleasure of inspecting and experiencing the Jung J43C-01 chronograph with the black dial, which is designed […]
Flash From the Past: The Stowa Flieger Classic Pilot Chrono
Stowa has always held a special place within our repertoire of hands-on watch reviews. They were one of the very first brands that we reviewed shorty after our founding in 2015. We were lucky enough to receive samples from them back in 2018, with our review of the Stowa Partitio and then subsequently in 2019 […]
The Nomadic Fior 555: A Stunning GMT Watch Made in Ireland
The WRB is a decade strong, and we’ve reviewed watch brands from various locations around the globe, such as those from Germany, Czech Republic, England, Hong Kong – and many more non-Swiss locations. Today marks what I believe is our first hands-on look at a really stunning watch that’s made entirely in Ireland – Belfast […]
The Aquasphere Freefall: Hanhart’s Foray Into the World of Dive Watches
Not too long ago Hanhart announced the release of their first ever dive watch, the Aquasphere Freefall exclusively in blue with a 42mm case. This was quite the surprise, seeing that most of the watches we’ve ever reviewed from the renowned German watchmaker have been pilot inspired designs like this Primus Nautic and this S-Series […]
Hands-On With the Formex Blue Agate Essence ThirtyNine
Formex is a relatively new, niche brand, within the grand scheme of the watch world. They were founded in 1999 and have focused primarily on the development of extreme sports racing watches, which is right there in their name Formex – which stands for “forme extrème” in French. You see a lot about them online, […]
Detrash Watches: Hands-On with a Recycled Watch you Probably Want
Welcome to 2025 guys! We ended 2024 by reviewing the highly sought after Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi, but we’re starting this new year by going hands on with a rather peculiar pick. Today we have with us the Detrash Midnight Sky, a watch made with 80% recycled materials – but it doesn’t have a resin […]
Raymond Weil X Largo Winch: Hands-On With a Limited Illustration Imbued Watch
For the last few weeks I’ve had the pleasure to go hands-on with the Millesime Tri-compax Chronograph, a very unique and surprising watch from Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil. We don’t hear very much from this brand, with new releases often being drowned out by the likes of trending re-issues from industry heavies such as Longines […]
