You know that feeling when you leave a watch alone for too long? That relentless sting of guilt when a piece whimpers to be worn? Well, if you have a large collection, maybe your watches are “just” watches, and unequal or no wrist time may be a fact of life.

Once every six weeks or so, I get a parcel from Nivada containing its latest and greatest releases. If you are a fan of the brand, you might have seen my articles on the Chronomaster, the Paul Newman limited edition, or recently, on the Super Antarctic.

Everybody wants to be unique. That's why everybody wants to wear a . With an annual production of close to one million watches, is a paradox of luxury. Yes, the brand produces exclusive watches, but it does so in very large numbers. They’re not enough to satisfy the market, but we've touched upon that subject in many other stories already. And to use a trusty cliche, all watches look the s

You know by now that Schofield founder Giles Ellis and I are friends. I’m a long-time follower of the brand and (quite recently) became a Schofield owner. But our relationship extends beyond that of consumer and vendor. That isn’t always the way that professional relationships evolve, but when you work in a small, passion-driven industry, it isn’t so hard to imagine why two guys

Some brands have a distinct calling card that sets them apart. From big crown locks to date magnifiers, they can be a blessing and a curse. For me, the former applies to the enigmatic Resonance concept. I'll admit to not being a hundred percent au fait with its inner workings, but the Armin Strom Mirrored Force Resonance is deeply fascinating on a mechanical level, even a scholarly one. Isn’

We’ve been away for a few weeks, but Fratello On Air is back again! We’re talking about the newly announced Sinn T50 lineup and then dipping into some travel talk. Balazs attended the recent NBA All-Star Game in Salt Lake City, Utah, and we talk about the festivities.

I am always genuinely excited to see Yema release new variants of the Superman 500. And when it comes to the recently introduced Superman 500 GMT series, I love seeing new colors as they are such a vital part of GMT watches. With a two-colored bezel, the presence of the models can change quite drastically. After the first series of new Superman 500 GMT models late last year, Yema now introduces tw
