Armand Nicolet JS9 | Hands On Watch Review
Armand Nicolet JS9 Every once in a while, I get a watch in for review that really stands out in terms of build quality and finishes. This time, that watch is the Armand Nicolet JS9. While it is not without a few quirks, the quality of this watch matches up with the price tag, which happens to be around $1700 USD. There is no doubt that in that price range there is some heavy competition, but the J...
Obris Morgan Infinity | Hands On Watch Review
Obris Morgan Infinity Every time Obris Morgan releases a new model there is a frenzy to grab one. This time was no different with the Obris Morgan Infinity. A few months ago they released the Infinity on a preorder, but only 200 were released. Another 300 is set to be released shortly. The preorder sold out in minutes for those first 200 pieces. Why? Well, Obris at this point makes rugged looking ...
Nethuns Lava Bronze | Hands on Watch Review
Nethuns Lava Bronze I believe it was a comment on Youtube, where I posted the unboxing video of this Nethuns Lava Bronze, (If you have not checked them out yet, go to our Youtube channel for unboxing of all new watches that come in for review), where someone said that the bronze “fad” is over. Now I have always been upfront when reviewing a bronze watch that it is not my first pick at ...
Titoni Master Series | Hands on Watch Review
Titoni Master Series I do not wear a dress watch often, but when I do, I like one that is sophisticated looking yet something that could still be worn with a pair of jeans and a button down shirt. Admittedly, I do not currently own a dress watch, as I have a few watches that can play the part when need be, but there is something to be said for an elegant, thin watch that will compliment your outfi...
Gruppo Gamma Ecomar Chrononaut | Hands On Watch Review
Gruppo Gamma Ecomar Chrononaut I have said it many times the past two years, but vintage is definitely in style. We keep going back to the past when it comes to clothes, watches and even some cars. We are at an all time high with technology, but when it comes to products we wear, we seek the styles of yesteryear. The Gruppo Gamma Ecomar Chrononuat takes its design cues from the super compressor wa...
Resco R-TAC | Hands On Watch Review
Resco R-TAC Resco is definitely a different cat in the microbrand world. They are not the cheapest by far and actually might be the most expensive in their segment. The model I am reviewing today, the Resco R-TAC is a 44mm quartz piece that comes in at around $1100. There is no shortage of completion, that is for sure, so how can Resco justify their prices and more important, can you justify ...
Momentum Fieldwalker | Hands-On Watch Review
Momentum Fieldwalker I am not sure if many watch enthusiasts have been asking for a Damsko homage, but that is what the Momentum Fieldwalker is, at least to me. While I don’t know if that was the intention of Momentum or not, I would find it hard to believe they did not notice a resemblance. The Fieldwalker is not an exact copy of a Damasko, there are a good amount of differences of c...
Lum-tec Abyss 400m | Hands on Watch Review
Lum-tec Abyss 400m You ever not like a watch only to find yourself really digging it later on? Well, that is what happened to me with the Lum-tec Abyss 400m. It took a few years, as it was just not on my radar anymore, and it started with the 600m version. I go into detail about this in the video, so I will not drag on about it here, but it is something that rarely happens. Let me be clear, I neve...
E.C. Andersson North Sea II | Hands on Watch Review
E.C. Andersson North Sea II The E.C. Andersson North Sea II is of course the second version of this model, the first was funded through Kickstarter. It is a watch that can be used for all occasions, out on the sea, in the board room, the dining room and with your t-shirt and jeans for a casual day in the town. As the website states-“The Scandinavian way of design is clean...
Votum Watches Heritage | Hands on Review
Votum Watches Heritage Another hibernating brand has been brought back to life, this time Votum. I have had the Votum Watches Heritage model in hand for a few weeks and I must say there is a lot I like about it, and a few things I do not. But first, who were Votum Watches and who brought them back out of deep sleep? Well, two Swiss Designers, François Zahnd – Owner and C...
Zelos Helmsman 2 | Hands on Watch Review
Zelos Helmsman 2 Zelos Watches is a brand that is pretty popular these days in the microbrand online watch world, but it was just a few years ago that they introduced their first watch, the Zelos Helmsman. I reviewed that very first watch here on Watchreport, and it was one of my first reviews here as well. (You can search on the site to find that original review, though I worn you t...
Hanhart Pioneer MK I | Hands On Review
Hanhart Pioneer MK I Last year Hanhart introduced the Hanhart Pioneer MK I, a tribute or homage to their first watch, the Calibre 40, introduced in 1938. I might be a little behind in reviewing this model but when I got the chance, I jumped on it, as I have always loved the design of Hanhart watches and wanted to see if they looked as good in person as they do in photos. Spoiler: They...
