Straum Opphav Hands-On Watch Review
Straum Opphav The Straum Opphav is the first model from the new microband, launched in 2021. Unlike a lot of new brands, the Norwegen microbrand did not go the way of using catalog parts and sticking its brand and logo on the dial. No, in fact, it took them 5 years to bring this model to fruition, with a few designs and bumps in the road along the way. What they ended up creating is a fantastic bl...
Fromanteel Pendulum Small Second Hands-On Watch Review
Fromanteel Pendulum Small Second When it comes to classically styled watches, I am not the target audience. Whether it is Nomos or a dress watch from countless brands, I find them beautiful, but they just don’t appeal to me. The Fromanteel Pendulum Small Second is definitely in the same genre of watches, but there are a few things that make this watch stand out among the others. First would ...
Titoni Airmaster Hands-On Reviews
Titoni Airmaster Titoni Airmaster Titoni is a brand I have covered here a lot, and for good reason, they produce a great watch and I am always willing to review a model from the independent Swiss brand. This one, the Titoni Airmaster, has many variants that bear the same model name, and while similar they are not all identical. In this latest version, there are 6 colorways available, this dark nav...
A look at the Seiko Presage Style 60s
Seiko Presage Style 60s Retro is king these days and as such, almost every brand is releasing watches with a style from the 60s and 70s. Seiko is no slouch when it comes to new models, so they have brought out the Seiko Presage Style 60s, a watch that takes from the 1964 Seiko Crown Chronograph. Available in 2 different styles (three-hand and open heart) and 5 different colors, I chose this dark g...
MeisterSinger Astroscope Hands-On Review
MeisterSinger Astroscope Have you ever said to yourself, day and date is nice on a watch, but I would love if there were some celestial bodies I could correlate with the days? Well, MeisterSinger has a watch for you then! Yes, the MeisterSinger Astroscope combines horology and astronomy together, along with a one-handed mechanism to give you a watch that some would call quirky; I’ll label it...

Luxemont Maestro Series
Luxemont Maestro Series *This is sponsored post that was approved by the advertiser* Not many new watch brands have been able to carve a path of sophistication while delivering contemporary fine craftsmanship. It is a balancing act that is hard to find, especially at affordable prices. However, Luxemont is a company that has managed to succeed in building timepieces calling on a deep knowledge of ...
Elliot Brown Bloxworth 2.0 | Hands on Watch Review
Elliot Brown Bloxworth 2.0 A few years ago, Michael Wolfe, a former reviewer here at Watchreport, did a pretty comprehensive review on the Elliot Brown Bloxworth. You can find that review here: https://www.watchreport.com/elliot-brown-bloxworth-watch-review/. The version I am reviewing today, which sells for $750 US direct, as Alex from Elliot Brown puts it, is an evolution and not a re...
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...
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...
Favre Leuba Sky Chief | Watch Review
Favre Leuba Sky Chief The Favre Leuba Sky Chief is another model from the recently revived brand. A few months ago I reviewed the Raider Deep Blue, a dive watch from Favre, this time we take a look at a more casual/dress piece, the Sky Chief. When I hear the name Sky Chief I immediately think of a pilot style watch, though this model looks nothing like any pilot watch I have ever seen. From...
Armand Nicolet J09 | Watch Review
Armand Nicolet J09 Armand Nicolet is a brand that I know in name, but not overly familiar with their watches. It is not one that I see the watch community post about on social media often, such as Instagram or Facebook Watch groups. After receiving this model for review, the Armand Nicolet J09 Day/Date, I wondered why this brand has not been getting the love it deserves. Now, keep in mind, I perso...
