For the last few weeks I’ve had the pleasure to go hands-on with the Millesime Tri-compax Chronograph, a very unique and surprising watch from Swiss watchmaker Raymond Weil. We don’t hear very much from this brand, with new releases often being drowned out by the likes of trending re-issues from industry heavies such as Longines […]
The Rolex GMT Master II 126710BLRO: A Commemorative Acquisition for Our 10 Year Anniversary
10 years is quite the milestone for a blog, if we may say so ourselves. In a world of high paced social media, reels, and competitive mainstream media publications, sticking to a blog for a decade requires persistent determination, stubborn will, and at times help from those within our special watch community. Today I’m quite […]
What is the Most Useful Complication on a Mechanical Watch?
There’s been an ongoing debate within the watch community regarding what can be considered the most useful complication on a mechanical watch in our modern era. To be a useful complication it should be easy and quick to operate, provide actual value in its use case, and preferably a complication that’s quite common to come […]
Daily Wear Review: The Seiko 5 Sports SRPK91K1
Sometimes I feel like I’ve taken the unorthodox route to watch collecting and discovery. Most budding enthusiast tend to enter the hobby with a brand like Seiko, and eventually if circumstances allow, exit or self refine themselves to brands like Rolex, Patek, and Audemars Piguet. While I dabbled somewhat with some affordable brands like Hamilton […]
Hands-On with the Timex x Pan Am Fly Back Chronograph
Traditionally, for us over here at the WRB, October has always been a hectic month. We have logistics issues to deal with for our WATCHPOD accessories brand, and we usually have an influx of watches to review as well. Add a couple seasonal viruses into the mix, as well as an increase in topics to […]
The Audemars Piguet Acquisition Experience: A Disappointing Start
Just a few weeks ago I was in New York City for the release of Norqain’s Independence Skeleton Chrono, and I had pre-booked a visit to the AP House located on the border of the Meatpacking District and West Village. We don’t actually have any Audemars Piguet boutiques in Canada, so this was my one […]

2 Week Analysis: The Hublot Classic Fusion Essential Grey
Hublot carries along with it, let’s say, an interesting stigma within the watch collecting community. They’re generally known for creating rather extravagant watches, with designs that veer far away from familiar classic shapes produced by other brands in similar price segments like JLC and Vacheron Constantin. Today we have with us one of their new […]
Exclusive Hands-On with the Norqain Independence Skeleton Chrono 8K Calibre
Just last week I had the chance to visit New York City for the unveiling of Norqain’s Independence Skeleton Chrono powered by the in-house 8K Manufacture Calibre. It was a really great event marked by a special hands-on look at the new releases, and then an eventual presentation at Lightbox NYC. I always forget how […]
Hands-On with the Doxa Sub 200T: An Updated Icon
It’s the end of the summer over here in Montreal, and today I had the chance to scour through some of the remaining sample watches I received and hadn’t completed reviews for. In-between a couple family vacations and the rush of maintaining fourth quarter stock levels for WATCHPOD, I managed to let the new Doxa […]
