Momentum Pathfinder III Titanium Alarm. When it comes to watches of extremely great value, the Momentum Watches out of Canada generally produces some fairly cool looking timepieces.

Review | Barrington Double Watch Winder
To wind, or not to wind, that is the question. For years, automatic watch enthusiast and others who share our passion have asked themselves whether a watch winder is a much needed support tool for their collection, or can they simply continue to manually wind each piece from scratch when their time in the rotation comes up. For others, the tipping point becomes a matter of this or that: Should I s...
Watch Review | STOWA Flieger Klassik Sport
STOWA Flieger Klassik Sport It is my extreme pleasure once again to talk about STOWA Watches. The topic of this review is another relatively new watch model, the Flieger Klassik Sport . I was first introduced to STOWA sometime in 2008-09, due to the really cool design of the Seatime model. As I have mentioned before, the company is located in Germany and consists of a very small staffing complimen...

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 | Panzera Breuer 47
In for review is the Panzera Breuer 47 Limited Edition. Stemming its inspiration from the German Bauhaus popular back in the 1950’s and 60’s for their minimalistic and timeless designs, today’s Breuer 47 fills the needs of those looking for that minimalistic and clean dress timepiece. If you remember, my college Don Evans reviewed the Breuer 44 almost a year ago to date, which in...
Watch Review | Lum-Tec Combat B24 Carbon
I am always excited to share my thoughts about Lum-Tec watches. Over the years I have had the opportunity to handle numerous models from their various series. Lum-Tec offers sport, pilot and dive watches with classic and modern designs. Also, I find it very refreshing when a company that I write about is located in the United States, such as Lum-Tec, which is located in Northeast Ohio. If there is...
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 | Dietrich Organic Time OT-1
Dietrich Organic Time OT-1 I know several individuals who claimed to be designers and a few who like to dabble in the realm of art. The one area that each agree on is that design is not art. Of course, the design is not art concept may differ from one person to the next. I tend to agree with those that argue design is not art to some extent. While design may not be art, I truly believe that the en...
