The Casio G-Shock “Master of G” Gulfmaster collection is unique for a few interesting reasons. Sort of a dive watch, and sort of a hardcore marine-themed watch, what further separates the Gulfmaster collection from other G-Shock models is actually how they look.
Back in April 2016, the aBlogtoWatch giveaway was the Wilk Watchworks Lydian Tourbillon ABTW Special Edition watch. Richard B. from Austin, Texas, USA, won the piece made by the Canadian micro-brand. Here is Richard’s review for the aBlogtoWatch audience. Once again, thanks to Richard and all the other watch winners who share their experiences with the world.
Jaeger-LeCoultre brand fans will no doubt enjoy the news that the Memovox collection is back – starting with this brand boutique-only Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Memovox Boutique Edition limited set of watches. The Swiss brand claims that this refreshed retro-style release of the brand’s cult favorite alarm watches is due to the Memovox’s 60th anniversary, having been debuted in or around 1956.
Debuted on aBlogtoWatch not too long ago, I now get to review the first “re-branded” Christopher Ward watch that I really like. Based on the dashboard instrument clock of some historic British military planes, the Christopher Ward C8 Power Reserve Chronometer combines a cool modern design with an impressive movement and, as is typical of the UK-based brand, a lot of value for the money.

I also have a tendency towards the sportier divers (as do many others), and am intrigued by unique cases and shapes. Wouldn’t you know, there was a watch introduced at Baselworld 2015 that actually touches on all of those differing points? When the opportunity came up to spend some time with the Clerc Hydroscaph GMT Power Reserve Chronometer, I leaped at it without a second thought.
When the Grand Seiko SBGX089, SBGX091, and SBGX093 collection of watches was released in around 2012, the first of those models – the SBGX089 – was a limited edition of 500 pieces with a yellow hand and some different colors read more…
If a design can stand out from the crowd, then, at least for me, it is worth digging a little deeper. This was the case with Sartory-Billard and the RPM 01 watches. The unique curved design spoke to me, and along the way, I learned a lot about a brand that’s recently been busy creating some really interesting pieces in Paris.
Florence, Italy-based Visconti is mostly known for their writing instruments but has increasingly been getting into watches. Not just any watches, but decidedly avant-garde and often “weird” watches. That is just how they like it.
