Very few of us watch nuts are fortunate enough to hunt down and acquire tourbillons, minute repeaters or perpetual calendar watches. There’s no denying the appeal of such complex mechanical marvels, but there’s just as much fun (if not more) to be found on the lower end of the spectrum. And while we’ve compiled many […]
A few weeks ago, Seiko announced the introduction of a new size within the classic 5 Sports SKX Series – understand by that dive-inspired models bringing back the flair of the emblematic SKX007 watch. And we were offered a so-called mid-size case, in line with the current downsizing trend. No need to say, we were […]

Introduced in 2020, the Seiko Presage Sharp Edged Series presented an angular silhouette (with a bit of a Grand Seiko flair), distinctively patterned dial, and hands and indexes equally bold and sharp. Part of Seiko‘s Presage series, and sitting alongside the Style 60’s, the Craftsmanship Series and the Cocktail watches, it has since been launched with […]
Released in 2021, the Seiko Presage Style 60’s was designed to become the brand’s vintage-inspired, slightly elegant offer in a relatively accessible price range, next to the more high-end Craftsmanship and Sharp Edged series.

Together with the chronograph, I do believe that the combination of a dive watch with a traveller’s function, a.k.a a GMT complication, makes for some of the most attractive and practical watches. In short, it’s your go-anywhere, do-anything kind of watch. And not only for summer but for any time you want to be a […]
