It may be of no surprise, that after a few months of winter, many of us over here in the north crave a tropical escape. With this in mind, a mid-winter getaway was booked to the Caribbean island of Barbados. Doxa was kind enough to lend me their very cool and military inspired Doxa Army, […]
Benrus DTU Shield: A Robust Well Fitting Military Field Watch
Benrus watches has been a bit of a mysterious brand for me. I’ve seen them around, sometimes popping up on my instagram feed, other times being featured on other watch publications. Each time I see a Benrus, it always looks good, they seem to have a nice aura surrounding their watches – and after handling […]
The Seiko SRPK29: A Personal Hands-On Review
As any watch enthusiast can tell you, there are some timepieces that are such a ridiculously good deal that you can’t possibly pass them up. The Seiko SKX line of years past is a prime example, and a rite of passage for many a watch collector. I had the pleasure of owning the SKX013 some […]
Experiencing The Nomos Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer On Wrist
Experiencing a watch to its fullest, such as the new Nomos Club Sport Neomatik Worldtimer, requires a clear mind – and enough time to parse minute details like dial layout, precision during assembly, and wearability. While it may not be an A. Lange & Sohne, or a Patek, it brings to the table its own […]

I have with us today a very neat microbrand watch called the Michel GMT, a new release from Tessé Watches out of Toronto, Canada. I’ve been enjoying this watch both on and off the wrist for about 3 weeks now, and I can confidently say it’s easily my favourite watch model and brand out of […]

If you’ve ever been to Dubai, you know that looking into the horizon at dusk during the middle of the summer is like staring into a well oxygenated ember. The Doxa Sub 250 that we have here today, emulates this feeling very well with its deep red dial that constantly shifts from rich burgundy red […]

Handling the King Seiko SPB365 Turtle Shell Motif Dial
It’s the first snow day in Montreal, with two feet of fresh powder that’s accumulated overnight, literally, everywhere – and the only thing on my mind is this incredible brown turtle shell motif dial on the King Seiko SPB365. This is a limited release of 1200 pieces from Seiko, to celebrate their 110th year of […]
The Air-King 126900: Modernization of a Rolex Classic
The Air-King is hands down, one of my favorite watches from Rolex. I’ve owned the ref. 114200 since around 2017, which I bought while visiting Milan in my late 20s. The Air-King has always been a sort of black sheep in the Rolex lineup. It’s not a purely classic Oyster Perpetual, and to me, it’s […]
