Sjoo Sandstrom Swedish Night World Timer
At first glance, the watch on the right is a conservatively styled dressy watch with a clean, uncluttered face. A closer look and you might wonder what the pushers are for, as it appears to lack complications. Via, say hello to a brand we've never heard of before, Sjoo Sandstrom....

Review of the Oceanus OCW-S1000 “Manta”
Up for review today is the Oceanus OCW-S1000 "Manta," an analog powerhouse of a dress watch with a formidable inner geek. Like all new Oceanus models, it's solar-powered, radio-set and very well made indeed. This one is the thinnest and lightest in the lineup at 10.2mm thick and 85g, made...

Oris Atelier Worldtimer
There are certain high-end Swiss watches that I've always admired for their style and function, among them is the Ulysse Nardin GMT ± Perpetual. It's a travel watch in the tradition of the Rolex GMT Master, but with a neat twist: It has two buttons that increment or decrement the...
The Citizen Attesa GMT (ATD53-2903)
One of my favorite watch complications is the GMT hand: a separate (typically fourth) independently settable hand marking 24-hour time. It's extremely useful for people like pilots, travelers, and businesspeople who not only need to be able to switch between different time zones easily, but who also need to be...

Review of the Casio Pathfinder PAW1300-3V
View the Casio Pathfinder PAW1300-3V picture gallery. When I reviewed the Casio Pathfinder PAW1200 about a year ago, I referred to it as "one of the most advanced digital timepieces in the world". Of course, it is also one of the biggest. The new PAW1300 takes all the same features...
Seiko Introduces the Spring Drive Chronograph
We previously wrote about Seiko's innovative Spring Drive watches, and I'm personally a big fan of their Marinemaster Spring Drive diver. At the annual Baselworld conference, Seiko announced the long-awaited Spring Drive chronograph. Unfortunately, it's a 300-piece limited edition, with an exclusive price of €5,500 (about $7,500). There's a lot...
