The watch I am wearing lately is a Tudor Black Bay. An outstanding watch from a well know brand which captured my attention. This is the brand that for many years was in the shade of its bigger sister, the Rolex company. For a couple of years now, Tudor has built a character of its […]

I have just set up my phone to wake me up at 4:30. Just for fun, I also set my Jaeger LeCoultre Master Memovox to ring at around 4:35. I am in my room in a hotel in Istanbul, pretty dizzy after a Gala Dinner at Istanbul Technical University. I must leave the hotel at […]

I would like to present a watch that covers many qualities, with the beauty on top: the Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean 600M Co-Axial Master Chronometer Chronograph. As you already know from my previous articles, the watches that I like most are divers and pilot’s themed watches. And this is because of the instrument feeling they […]

The watch I want to present this time is Ball Engineer III Endurance 1917 TMT Limited Edition to 1000 pieces. I love this watch, mostly because it is a tribute to a great man and expedition – Ernest Shackleton. It all began with the announcement made by Ernest to find members for his crew: “Men […]

Since today’s article is about the 2014 Omega Speedmaster Mark II Co-Axial Cronograph, I remember that one of the first Omega I’ve ever saw, many years ago, was a Speedmaster Mark II from 1970’s. I loved it because it was such a tool watch, truly an instrument, with no fashionable details. Just a high quality […]

The watch I want to present is Omega Speedmaster Racing Master Chronometer. Impressive name for a watch, but a name well deserved. Every kid in the world, at a moment, will say: “Are we there yet?”. It is not in our nature to be patient but we can learn to behave like we are. We […]

You know from my previous posts that I like watches with a story behind and/or a utilitarian use, and this is the case with Hamilton X-Wind Chronograph Quartz Ref. H77912335. I like two types of watches more than others: aviation themed and divers. Of course, I am neither a pilot nor a diver, but an […]

Omega Speedmaster Skywalker X33 – Solar Impulse 2 Limited Edition is the perfect example for some people who consider that watches are more than objects that show the time in a way or another. Wristwatches could represent a story, an emotion or a statute in society. For me it’s the first two. The watches that […]

Before diving into Breguet Type XXI Ref.3810TI/H2/TZ9 presentation, imagine that you are in the year 1775. The world is at the beginning of the industrial revolution. The Watt’s steam engine is at its first working prototype. Captain Cook just finished first East-bound circumnavigation. A revolution just started in America (not united states yet) and Mozart […]

The watch I want to present today has been in my collection for a couple of months and now it’s time to share my experience with it – the Breitling Aerospace Night Mission Ref. V79363. In the past I had a couple of versions of Aerospace. Every single one of them had a love/hate ratio. […]

The IWC Portuguese Split Seconds Chronograph has been one of my favorite for the last couple of months. This watch, in my opinion, is truly a masterpiece. It was built in a period when, like one of my friends used to say “they didn’t have a website yet”. After a research based on its serial […]

I have a pleasant feeling about the racing era from 1970’s. The watch on my hand and in my collection is Heuer Monaco Gulf edition. Usually I don’t like square watches, with small exceptions for JLC Reverso and Bell & Ross. However, this one is so different because it creates the racing atmosphere from 50 […]

I must admit that I have a long history with pilot’s watches from IWC. From Top Gun Ceramic Double Chrono which is now somewhere in Africa in a mission, bought from me by my all time best friend, to a much more classy IWC Saint Exupery Power Reserve. I regret some decisions about selling some […]
