A whole genre of watches is built to see the water… Dive watches! Personally, I don’t dive or even swim, but I do have some in my collection because I like the look and feel of them. Among them is even quite a professional diver, the Sea-Dweller. Equation of Time is a watchportal that has quite a few loyal visitors and one of their fora is the dive watch forum. Give them a visit!Photo

I noticed I had a referlink from:Great site! I will put this one in my links-section! Also noticed John uses the same software as this watch weblog website, from WordPress. I hope that more watch weblogs will pop-up in the future, so we can really use the trackback features of this software and ‘concept’.

In Basel, I had the pleasure to meet with Thierry Oulevay (CEO and co-founder of Jean Dunand) and one of his watches, the Jean Dunand Tourbillon Orbital. This tourbillon watch features a one-minute flying tourbillon that orbits the dial once per hour. Furthermore, it has this cool power reserve indicator in the case band and moon phase on the caseback. You really need to take this watch off your w

Every year, Omega introduces a new limited edition of – in my humble opinion – the nicest chronograph ever, the Speedmaster Professional. It is one of the few watch brands, or perhaps the only brand, that gets away in my book with all these limited editions. This year, it was 40 years ago that Omega accompanied the crew of Apollo 15 to the Moon.The Apollo 15 Mission, that started on th

Moonwatch Only Book ReviewI think that after , Omega is the most documented brand out there. Especially in print. Especially with regards to the Speedmaster model, there are already some titles out there that cover this watch in great depth. Not only did Omega publish a specific book on this model by themselves (“The Moon Watch”) over a decade ago, there were also some interesting titl

Our anniversary?edition of Watch Strap Review Part 10. adds yet another country to the long list of craftsmen. We are going north this time to Scandinavia. The strap maker I'm about to introduce to you hails in Sweden and our very own Michael introduced his work to me. How could I miss him for so long? Anyways, all's well that ends well as the poet says. I got in touch with Michael (the strap guy,

Drive de Cartier- Mens Only CartierLast January when Cartier presented the ‘Drive de Cartier‘ watches at the 2016 SIHH in Geneva, there was a lot of traffic at the Cartier booth. Almost every journalist talked amongst each other about this new watch, in the corridors. Cartier is always presenting quite a few watches at the annual show in Geneva, but it's not every year that ‘La M

The return of the Seiko 5 Sports line is here with 27 different models based off of a familiar case.Between entertaining my daughter in the kiddie pool, drinking ice cold Keo, and engaging in deep, meaningful discussions with my wife (ok, she'd beg to differ on that last point) while on holiday in Cyprus, I actually did check my email every so often.? On one of these occasions, I received an email

Sitting across from Kay Jaeger in the lobby of the Hyperion Hotel in Basel has been one of the highlights of brand meetings for my scouting team at Skolorr this year.In contrast to all the pomp and circumstance of watch fairsto all the big names vying for attention with ginormous booths and ten-foot-tall logosto all the hustle and bustle polluting the atmospheretaking an hour to sit and talk with

Welcome back to Wrist Game or Crying Shame where you choose stop, start, or reset. This week we travel back to 1997 to look at a TAG Heuer Monaco CS2110. But first…Just when I think I know my constituency, you guys throw me for a serious loop. Such was the case with last week’s Omega De Ville Power Reserve with the epic Brick bracelet. In a nod to the Commodores, let’s just say y

Have you ever dreamed of being a super spy? Have you ever wondered what watch you might wear if that career should become your daily grind? Well, perhaps we have an answer for you. At least when it comes to counting cards and flinging chips all over the board in the casinos you’d no doubt make your second (or first) home. No, this isn’t a go-anywhere, do-anything kind of watch. It̵

When it comes to Seiko, quite a lot of my focus goes to the Prospex collection. With a string of great new Prospex releases, I almost tend to forget that over the last couple of months, we have also seen a significant number of Seiko Presage releases featuring unique dials. The handmade enamel and porcelain dials are often breathtaking evidence of incredible craftsmanship. I had the change to go h

Don't have a caliber Valjoux 72 watch yet? It's about time you started looking around for one. If the classic 1960s Omega Speedmasters or Daytonas are past your budget, you might just find that the Zodiac Zodia-Chron Hermetic fits not only your budget but also that gap in your collection. I think you’ll agree with me when I say that it’s an extremely cool watch with a bit of both the S

In watchmaking, while color isn’t everything, it is certainly enough of a thing to make or break a design or to establish a connection with a brand partner, collaborator, or good cause for whom a watch stands for. Although the heroes of Air Zermatt - the Swiss beauty spot’s mountain rescue team - fly a red helicopter, Hamilton chose to draw inspiration for the degrade sub-dials see on

Let me start by saying that there's a clear difference between what I want, and what I can afford. But I guess that this applies to most of us. Therefore, I think that it is better to create a watch wish list that is somewhat realistic. Perhaps not tomorrow, or even a couple of months from now, but at some point, I would definitely like to own the watches on this list.Truth to be told, for a few y

While many of us are still on holiday and enjoying the summer, it’s a good time to reflect on the first half of the year. Has 2022 been a good year for watches up to this point? When we started thinking of great releases, a list of potential candidates quickly took shape. A list that we collectively agreed on, however, turned out to be a bit tougher order to fill. But in the end, we succeede

What do I like to do during my summer holidays? Well, first and foremost, I like to travel light, and after that, take it easy and keep it casual. And that's why the watch I will take on my summer holiday is the Casio G-Shock GW-M5610NV-2F Military Navy. Yes, you read that correctly. I will take one watch, not multiple watches. My rugged all-rounder in a classy shade of navy blue satisfies all my

Who can resist the warm glow of luminescent material on a watch dial, the mystical greenish glow of hands, indices, or even entire dial surfaces? Whether the function is telling the time at dusk at home or an expedition through the mountains, it's like magic, inspiring heavy-hitting hashtags like #lumeshot, #lumecolors, and #lumebattle. If you're into sports and divers’ watches, it is one of

Many watch aficionados have been lamenting the fact that many watch movements have gotten bigger over the past two decades. Enter the Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 101. This is a lesson in miniaturization that some modern brands should take heed of. So, what cutting-edge 2023 technologies were used to produce it? None. It is almost a century old!The Jaeger-LeCoultre Caliber 101 is an impressive feat of

It took us a while to get our hands on the not-so-new Nivada F77. I made the request a while ago, but the watch sold out so fast that it took the brand a while to find a prototype to send me. But all’s well that ends well, as the saying goes, for a few weeks ago, an F77 with a blue dial and no date landed on my office table.After having seen both black and blue versions in Geneva earlier thi
