FullGear is a brand new manufacturer launching their very first watch via Kickstarter. This watch, called the Pioneer, is based on a simple conceit: it’s the world’s first customizable tritium watch. To understand why this is a big deal, it’s first important to know a bit about Tritium watches. I’ll talk about that more in […]
Mido Commander Blue Shade Watch Review
To fans of automatic watch movements, Mido is one of the world’s most outstanding manufacturers. Founded in 1918, Mido’s name comes from the Spanish phrase “Yo mido,” which means “to move,” and move they do! In the 1940s, they released the world’s first central read chronograph, where the stopwatch hands are arranged at the center […]
Rotary Super 7 Scuba Pepsi Watch Review
Founded by watchmaker Moise Dreyfuss in 1895, Rotary is one of many Swiss watchmakers to be founded during this time period.

An entire generation of young British men received a Rotary watch during their […]

Fans of the watch review blog will already be familiar with Undone. This is the Hong Kong-based startup that’s exploded onto the mechanical watch market like a supernova. Only two years old, this fledgling watchmaker is not content to rest on its laurels. Instead, on August 18th, Undone announced the release of a new watch: […]
Longines Heritage Classic Sector Dial Watch Review
As a little kid, I was a bit, ahem, obsessed with cars. Glancing out the window from the backseat of my parents’ car, I used to mentally recite the model, brand, and year of every vehicle we passed by on the streets. Now, as a well-adjusted adult just mildly enthusiastic about watches and operating systems, […]
Reise Resolute Titanium Automatic Field Watch Review
By having the opportunity to review the Reise Resolute, I was taught a simple but long overdue lesson in open mindedness. Having never heard of Reise, my natural assumption was that this was a Kickstarter brand, one from a sea of many hopeful enterprises, doing their very best to grab and keep your limited attention […]
Hanhart S-Series S 105 OE GMT Watch Review
50 years ago, the Austrian Air Force purchased an order of Saab 105 fighter jets from Sweden. Often referred to as the “S 105”, the Saab 105 might seem like an obscure aircraft to an American audience, but it was a mainstay of the Swedish and Austrian air forces for decades. As a matter of […]
