Fortis Dornier GMT Fortis is at it again. You might remember that since a few years now we follow this Grenchen brand’s activity on Fratello Watches. Just this year we have already looked at two of their new releases. Michael had a Classic Cosmonaut Chronograph to play with, while I took the Aeromaster Steel Chronograph for a […]
An Update I published this review exactly a year ago. I consider it one of the best reviews I ever did. Not because it is perfect in writing, or was the best read article on FW, but because it is a watch that simply moved me. But does it still move me, after one year and after […]
15 Years of MeisterSinger A few weeks ago, Gerard published an article on the 15th anniversary of MeisterSinger and its single-handed watch. You can find it here. A must-read for all fans of MeisterSinger watches. Today, I review the MeisterSinger Circularis Automatic (reference CC908). This watch comes in various executions, but I selected the Sunburst Blue version […]
Breitling Navitimer All Black Today on #TBT, we’ll take a look at an all-time classic, the Breitling Navitimer All Black. It’s a watch that I never thought I’d have a chance of owning, but thanks to fellow Fratello member Gerard, and especially to my wife, I’ve been fortunate to add a beauty to my collection. […]
Presage This year, Seiko introduces the Presage collection to a wider audience. The collection already existed in some markets, but not in Europe for example. Let’s have a look at one of their novelties, the Seiko Presage SPB041J1. 60 Years Ago The first wristwatch of Seiko was their Laurel timepiece, in 1913. A few decades later, […]
Omega Railmaster Wait a second, the Omega Railmaster is far too new to be featured on #TBT! Well, for sure, the discontinued watch from Omega is not so far removed from our mindscape, but it is gone. I had a recent visit from family and my Dad, who is seemingly a master in finding overlooked but […]
I’m staring at the Bulova Sea Hunter chronograph and, frankly, I’m lost. This watch has to be the most polarizing vintage watch that I own. It defines strange, but I see an almost elemental beauty in its simplicity. That being said, what the hell is this thing?!?! Where did it come from and why had […]
Today is German Unification Day, so let’s take a look at something from the Fatherland – the Sinn T2! Enjoy! In 2013, I attended my first Baselworld with my wife-to-be as a public spectator and the watch that stole my heart that year was, surprisingly, the newly introduced Sinn T2. As one who had been […]
At Fratello Watches we show a lot of love for Omega’s Speedmaster watch. But there is a new watch that is accelerating and heading for a position at the top: Yema Rallye. This year there were several articles about this extravagant watch with a true motorsports connection. Michael wrote about his Obrey branded Rallye and Balazs revealed the […]

Besides the knives and watches, you’ll find Victorinox luggage and backpacks. Victorinox concentrates on outdoor gear, the Victorinox Swiss Army knives probably being the most famous accessories. But how about their watches? We were eager to learn […]
