In today’s installment of #TBT, we’ll take a closer look at a watch that is still technically on the market – although buying it is a bit difficult outside of Germany – the Sinn Chronograph Tachymeter. This is a watch that gathers near universal praise whenever I post a picture on Instagram, but the plaudits […]
In a few weeks, BaselWorld 2017 will unveil a number of novelties we have all been waiting for. One of them is the re-edition of Seiko’s 62MAS diver. The rumors are piling up and we now ‘know’ that there will be a re-redition of the 62MAS with an 8L movement and a cheaper variant with […]
On today’s #TBT, we’ll take a brief look at a seldom seen version of a watch we’ve covered in the past. The subject of today’s post is the Gallet Multichron 12HR “Torch Dial”. It’s a piece that I hemmed and hawed about covering because of its similarity to a piece we already featured, but it’s […]
As most of you know we try to bring a diverse selection of vintage watches to #TBT week after week. It’s obvious that among vintage watches we (at least Mike and I definitely) have a soft spot for complications. Nowadays the most sought after of these happen to be chronographs, but you all know this […]
In today’s installment of #TBT, we’ll talk about what I think is, hands down, one of the most perfect chronographs ever created, the Breitling 765 AOPA. In case you’re in denial, have been reading elsewhere or are blinded by the fact that the brand’s current offerings are far different (read: much larger) than its historic […]
Silence. It’s the sound of the Rolex Daytona 6265 Big Red upon opening the safe deposit box and it’s sadly the noise, or lack thereof, that this highly finished chronograph creates 99% of the time. In the roughly 20 years since giving way to automatic followers, the formerly unwanted manual wind Cosmographs have become icons […]
It’s the New Year and as many people put together resolution lists, we thought we’d do the same and kick off the year with a look at 10 Vintage Seiko watches you should buy right now. Our admiration for Seiko is pretty transparent – from its new releases that we anticipate each March at Basel […]
Here we are in the last week of 2016 and we’re going to kick it old-school style by looking at a classic chronograph, the Wittnauer 235T. We’ve featured a watch from the brand before with a look at the remarkably unique and bold 242T and while today’s watch might not trigger any “grail alerts”, it’s […]
At 35,000 feet about halfway from Europe to the United States on a trip “home” for the holidays, the mind starts to get a little fuzzy. Call it the sweet return to drinking American craft beer or California Cabernet (yep, no matter where I live I’m still a “homer” and as a result, I’ve had […]
A cool watch does not have to be an expensive one. I think we can all agree on that. (Vintage) Seikos are as cool as it gets, there are a bunch of divers that won’t break the bank and not to mention the 7733/7734 vintage chronographs. So for a few hundred euros you can get yourself […]
