I've been an avid watch lover since the age of 7. Watches are not only my hobby but a passion. My favorite style used to be dive watches, but field or non bezel watches have been growing on me. When I'm not reviewing watches I am either cooking or with family and friends.

Watch Review | Glycine Airman Airfighter
When most people think of Glycine Watches, they probably think of the Airman series. And with that, I get to talk about the newest variation, and for the most part, quite a departure from the Airman series line, in terms of case construction and chronograph operation. Enter the Glycine Airman Airfighter. The Airfighter debuted at Basel World 2014, and since then the have come out with a few differ...
Watch Review | Helm Watches Vanuatu
*Update 4/13/18* New Video on V4 of Helm Vanuatu One of the newest micro brands to emerge is Helm Watches, and their first model is the Vanuatu. (Pronounced Van-Wa-Tu). Manufacturing and shipping out of Hong Kong, Helm Watches are your typical micro brand budget diver, and has that “tool” diver look many watch guys like these days. The case, dial and bracelet take cues from a few...
Watch Review | Maurice Lacroix Pontos
Maurice Lacroix Pontos I can’t deny I am pretty excited to share this timepiece with our readers, the Maurice Lacroix Pontos Diver. A vintage styled, luxury (in my opinion) diver. Since it was first released last year, I fell in love with it via pictures. Getting it in hand for review only strengthened that love, although there are a few things that could be improved. Though I have a few min...
Watch Review | Elysee Dual Timer
Elysee is a brand that I have covered here on WatchReport a few times, and for the most part they deliver a solid & attractive watch at a good price point. The Dual Timer I am covering here today is no different, and while not necessarily a bang for your watch, it is not offensively overpriced compared to what is on the market. The Dual Timer comes in 3 color variations, the black with lime gr...
Watch Review | Hexa Osprey
In the world of micro brands, there are many choices these days. Many new upstarts, and many different styles being offered. Dive watches still seem to be the most produced, as there is something about that rugged style the dive watch offers, even if most of us never even dive. Hexa is not necessarily a new brand, or a 2-month-old brand, as they have been around for about 3 years or so. Hexa&rsquo...
Watch Review | Sablier Grand Cru
While I get to review many watches here on WatchReport, there’s no doubt that some watches strike me more than others. The Sablier Grand Cru is one of them. The funny thing is, it is not particularly my style, but yet I truly am enamored with it. Why you may ask? No, it does not have the prestige of say a Rolex, JLC or many other brands, nor have an inhouse movement, or even a movement that ...
Watch Review |Tire’d Watch Co. Trail Blade
Watches and Tires? Seems like a common pairing when you think about it. Many watches use rubber in the seals and gaskets, and of course with bezels, pushers and most commonly, rubber straps. Tires are of course made of rubber. Some brands have been doing Tire inspired watches for years, most notably Chopard with their racing series. That brings me to my latest review, the Tire’d Trail ...
Nezumi Studios Voiture Chronograph
Today we get to take a look at the Nezumi Studios Voiture Chronograph, a watch designed with that 60’s/70’s vibe, a throwback if you will. Vintage style watches have become all the craze lately, with Omega, Tudor and others doing modern renditions of their classics and micro brands have been getting in on the action as well. Nezumi Studios is a Swedish Company known for producing ...
