The Ball Watch Company is based in Switzerland, but unlike other Swiss watchmakers, it was founded by an American. Their story dates back to 1891, when a passenger train from the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad crashed with a mail train near Kipton, Ohio, killing eight people. As it turned out, the passenger train […]
Mr. Jones Watches A Perfectly Useless Afternoon XL Review
Many of today’s most unique and innovative watches aren’t coming from the major brands; they’re coming from microbrands like Mr. Jones Watches. Mr. Jones is a relatively new watchmaker, founded in 2007. As watch manufacturers go, it might as well be a brand new startup. Over the last 16 years, they’ve released more than 150 […]
Doxa Sub 300T Professional Watch Review
I’ve never reviewed a Doxa watch before on the WRB, but the brand has been around for a long time. Doxa is a Swiss watchmaker, founded by a man named Georges Ducommun. The 1800s were a time with no child labor laws, and Ducommun took an apprenticeship with a watchmaker in the year 1880 at […]
Longines Record Automatic Chronograph L2.921.4.56.2 Watch Review
A mechanical watch – even an inaccurate one – is a work of art. That’s why people pay hundreds or thousands of dollars for a watch that’s less accurate than a cheap Casio watch from Walmart. At the same time, is it really too much to ask not to have to reset the time once […]
Nomos Club Sport Neomatik Polar & 42 Date Blue Watch Review
The Nomos Club is one of the most prestigious watch lines out there. It’s also one of the most numerous in terms of options. The line has traditionally included watches in 36mm, 38mm, 41.5mm, and 42mm. It ranges from a minimalist everyday watch to heavy-duty dive-rated versions. Last October, Nomos released two more variants of […]
Lorier Neptune Series IV Watch Review
Well, this is awkward. A year ago, I had the pleasure of reviewing the Lorier Neptune Series III, and one of my final thoughts was “if the Ortegas ever release a 38mm Neptune with a date window, my Omega Seamaster will be in serious trouble”. The latest Series IV Neptune isn’t 38mm, but a full […]
KNOPF NY-405 Black Steel Introduction and Review
Not all of the best watches come from established watchmakers. Some come from companies who are just cutting their teeth in the business, and every once in a while I like to sample one of these microbrands. KNOPF Watches is a brand new company, founded in Manhattan by Gage and Larry Knopf. The father and […]
Tissot PRX Powermatic 80 Watch Review
Tissot is well-known for pushing the boundaries of watchmaking. Perhaps nowhere is this more evident than with their PRX collection of watches. These watches have a power reserve of 80 hours – almost double the typical mechanical movement. If you only wear your watch a couple of times a week, that’s excellent news. I recently […]
Hamilton Murph 38mm Interstellar Khaki Field Watch Review
I usually spend a lot longer than a few days with a watch before I review it, but after spending just a few days with the new Hamilton Murph Watch in the small 38mm sizing from the Interstellar movie there’s just so much to be said. This is a highly anticipated release from Hamilton, they […]
AVI-8 P-51 Mustang Tuskegee Airmen Chronograph Limited Edition Watch Review
Founded in 2012, AVI-8’s brand name is a play on the word “aviate.” This London-based watchmaker builds a full line of aviation-inspired watches, including designs from real pilots. In September of 2022, they released a limited edition watch: the P-51 Mustang Tuskegee Airmen Chronograph Limited Edition. This watch is a tribute to the famous Tuskegee […]
