Cushion case dive watches are a strong personal favorite, as I have owned many over the years from various manufacturers. The style, at least personally, is timeless and suitable for any venue whether business, casual or sport. I have found the comfort level to typically be superb in any situation. Additionally, the case style tends to be perfect for almost any strap, whether a great Isofrane dive...

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...
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...

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...

Newly released from Magrette is their latest version of the Moana Pacific Pro Diver, or MPP Diver as it’s come to be called, in the stainless steel/grey dial. This is about the 5th or the 6th variation of the MPP, and might be, in my opinion , the best. First, let’s take a look at the packaging, which is also new from Magrette. If you have purchased from Magrette in the past, you are p...
Girard Perregaux has been in the business of making superlative timepieces since 1791. This year, the Swiss watch brand has gone into its archives to produce the Tourbillon Bi-Axial, which takes much of its inspiration from a pocket watch that GP produced in 1860. This new model has been given a major facelift due to the high tech materials that GP uses. This highly attractive timepiece is produce...
