Dress Watch. Classic. Modern. Elegant. Affordable. Quality. These are all terms that might not always be synonymous with each other, but that is how I describe Boschett’s first dress watch, the Legacy. This is my third installment of Boschett reviews, as I have recently reviewed the new Bochett Reef Ranger 2 and the Harpoon. Boschett Legacy The Legacy is a bit of a risk for Boschett, s...
Elliot Brown Bloxworth Review Ian Elliot & Alex Brown met in 1993, worked together for a number of years at company named Animal, until a change in circumstances lead them in different directions but they remained great friends. A chance conversation almost twenty years later grew into a determination to channel their unique experience into building a new kind of watch, one that would suit the...
In the world of cushion case watches, especially the Panerai style, you don’t see many chronographs. So it was exciting to see the Meister Racer Chronograph, which brings these two elements together. Housed in the 45mm Stainless Steel case is a Seiko VD53 Quartz Chronograph Movement, a carbon fiber dial, and it uses a mineral crystal. This version has a 3 link oyster style stainless bra...
Much has been said around the world for years about each of us doing our part to help conserve the environment. I find it refreshing when a watch company does their part in a rather unique way to help conserve our environment and that is exactly what Rec Watches is doing whether intended or not. Wristwatch enthusiasts Christian Mygh and Jonathan Kamstrup founded REC Watches in 2013. The concept be...
The Glycine Airman 17 Sphair debuted at Basel 2013. While it might be last year’s release, it certainly is not a model for the past.

Here are the full specs and the price: Material stainless steel / rubber Diameter: 46mm without crown Height: 10.75 mm with see-through back Finish: &...

Taking a look at the Uniq GAF44, we find a very clean and military inspired watch with just enough bells and whistles to satisfy the collector. The GAF 44 is modern sized, clean, legible, and a good-looking watch that should serve its user for many years. The majority of Uniq models are military inspired; from pilot style to the rugged military style you’ll see here. This is the second versi...
This year Maurice LaCroix has released a new and edgy addition to their repertoire of Skeleton watches with the officially named Masterpiece Le Chronographe Squelette. This watch is the first Skeleton watch from Maurice LaCroix to feature a complication rather than just a three hand dial layout. There are 4 versions of this model, each with its own clear character. These models together make up a ...
TSOVET (pronounced “So-Vay”) is a brand that has piqued my curiosity for some time now. The company is based in California, USA, and has a full line of styles including some Swiss Made timepieces. According to TSOVET, the SVT-FW44 Timing Gauge, the model being reviewed, draws its inspiration from a WWI infantryman’s field watch. TSOVET also indicates their designs to have an indu...
Triwa was an unfamiliar brand to me prior to getting the chance to review the Nivel. As always, it is great to check out a new brand and be able to report on it. All Triwa Watches are designed in Sweden (not sure if assembeled there, but more on that later) and use Miyota Quartz movements. The Blue Steel Nivel is a newer variation of their Nivel line, and can be bought retail for $350 USD, which i...
Growing their collection simultaneously with their popularity, AVI-8 has newly released another addition to the pilot collection. Having already reviewed the FLYBOY, and the Hawker Hurricane, I only found it fitting to squeeze in a review of the new Supermarine Seafire. In the Seafire collection, there are four case options to choose from. Two being brushed stainless, one black stainless, a...
Jewelry designer David Yurman has a watch collection. Normally, I am quite skeptical about jewelry designers that add watch collections to their portfolios. So I decided to do some research and see if there was any merit in these David Yurman watches. As expected, David Yurman watches are fitted with ETA self-winding mechanical movements. The watch featured today is from the David Yurman Classic c...
