Erroyl Duke Melrose | Hands on Watch Review
Erroyl Duke Melrose I’m not one for dress watches these days as I rarely put on the business attire. My tastes still tend to gravitate towards dive or field watches but a dress watch is nice to have in the lineup. I have never been overly fond of the traditional dress watch, you know; super thin, a thin bracelet or leather strap and a dial you can barely read with small hands and numbers. Th...
Formex DS2100 Diver | Watch Review
Formex DS2100 Diver Back in January I reviewed the Formex AS1100 Chronograph. Now, 6 months later, I take a look at the Formex DS2100 Diver. Both models share the same mid case, but for the most part that is where the similarities end. This model is a 3 hand with date, with a unidirectional dive bezel and a Sellita SW200 automatic movement. It of course has the patented suspension system Form...
Gruppo Gamma MKIV Vanguard | Watch Review
Gruppo Gamma MKIV Vanguard Many here know I have long been a supporter of Gruppo Gamma. They continue to improve their watches and the Gruppo Gamma Vanguard MKIV is no different. With this latest release, there a couple of firsts for the brand. One is the 42mm case size, their smallest to date; an exhibition case back is another and a super sandwich dial. The quality, as usual, is there, especiall...
Maranez Racha Watch Review
Cushion case dive watches are a strong personal favorite, as I have owned many over the years from various manufacturers. The style, at least personally, is timeless and suitable for any venue whether business, casual or sport. I have found the comfort level to typically be superb in any situation. Additionally, the case style tends to be perfect for almost any strap, whether a great Isofrane dive...

These models together make up a ...
TW Steel Slim Line Collection
Brand new from TW Steel is the Slim Line Collection that was just unveiled on their Facebook page. This collection at first glance looks pretty dressy, yet still keeps many of the design elements that the brand has become famous for. Details are still sketchy right now but one noticeable thing is that this line is thinner than the usual beefy models that TW Steel is known for. Also there is a more...
Mont Blanc Meisterstuck Heritage Perpetual Calendar
Unveiled at SIHH, the Mont Blanc Meisterstuck Heritage Perpetual Calendar just glows with class. The word Meisterstuck, when translated into English means masterpiece and this perpetual calendar is just that. The watch is available in two versions – 18kt rose gold, and stainless steel. To be honest, I found it odd for such a high complication to be offered in steel but Mont Blanc clearly wan...
