Founded in 1904, Oris is an independent watchmaker that’s not a member of any larger company or group. They’re based in Hölstein, Switzerland, with a secondary factory in the neighboring town of Holderbank. In 1970, they released the Chronoris, their very first chronograph. At the 2017 Baselworld event, Oris announced a re-release of the Chronoris […]
Orient President Day Date Watch Review
Since the advent of the wristwatch industry, certain watches have transcended the aesthetic sensibilities of their time, having been envisioned to be worn for decades all the way back from the drawing board. The Rolex Datejust, and later the Rolex Day Date, are clear examples of this, and have spawned a plethora of both ill-fated […]
Alf Norrsken Watch Review
The northern lights are one of the most spectacular sights in the world, a beautiful and unique experience predominantly only seen around the Arctic and Antarctic regions. And the watch I’m introducing you to today is a beautiful and unique watch in the micro brand world from the Swedish brand Alf watch company; the Norrsken (stands for […]
Stowa Flieger Classic 36 Automatic Watch Review
If you’ve followed my blog for awhile, you’re probably aware that I have an appreciation for Stowa watches. I’ve reviewed their Partitio in the past, and generally liked what I saw. Today, I’ll be looking at another Stowa, their Flieger Classic 36. These watches are individually serialized, so each one is truly unique. They’re designed […]
Ciga Design Z-series Watch Review
Another micro brand review from me and this is a watch that is sure to divide opinions. A fully skeletonised watch that is launching on indiegogo. An award winning watch that’s the winner of the 2020 German National design award. Founded by Zhang Jianming in 2012 Ciga Design launched their first watch in 2013, and that […]
Mido Ocean Star Diver 600 Watch Review
There comes a point in every watch enthusiast’s life, where the idea of an all-black watch becomes appealing. One day you wake up, and suddenly the watches you own don’t excite you the way they used to. You stare blankly into your watch box: eyes glazing over the rows of naked stainless steel. You think […]
York & Front Burrard Watch Review
York & Front is a relatively new microbrand that was founded in 2018 by Canadian entrepreneurs and watch connoisseurs Henry Cong and Eric Sandher. The company operates out of Vancouver, British Columbia and Toronto, Ontario. Like many microbrands, they’ve capitalized on the fact that flagship brands often inflate their prices by 5 times or more. […]
ACE Jewelers × NOMOS Glashütte Zürich Weltzeit Amsterdam Limited Edition
Judging by the results of continued collaboration between Ace Jewelers and NOMOS Glashütte there’s something good in the water of Amsterdam. Something very good. In an age where limited edition watches seem to make up the core offering of many brands, would-be collaborators have to be sure their co-branded product will be well-received and not […]
Klo & Co Alpesailer Automatic Watch Review
Well-established brands have always dominated the watchmaking industry. This is mostly because of their time in the industry, the quality of the materials and their products, and occasionally, because of their country of origin. Brands that come from third world countries normally do not stand a chance. Klo & Co could change that as a […]
BOLDR Expedition Rushmore Watch Review
BOLDR is one of the more interesting microbrands out there. Founded by a trio of watch enthusiasts from Singapore and Malaysia, the company got off to a rocky start. Their first Kickstarter campaign exceeded its goal in the first 24 hours. However, production and shipping expenses jumped before BOLDR could get off the ground, and […]
