Vratislavia Conceptum Review: The PAN-AFRICA
The Vratislavia Conceptum PAN-AFRICA case design itself is somewhat reminiscent of King Seikos of old, but with modern dimensions.

EMG Watches Review: The Nemo Diver
I was approached by Eddy Tse - one of the gentlemen behind EMG watches - who then handed me a little yellow dive watch before asserting, "Hey my name is Ed, and this is a watch we're working on."

Editor’s note: Had someone mentioned word of a sporty, steel-cased watch with a ceramic bezel and a very clear automotive inspiration, my first thought would be that it’s a chronograph.
