My family aren’t actually very keen on watches, which means they’re frequently mystified by […]

Review of Hublot MP-05 “LaFerrari” with Specs and Price
There was a time, in the not so distant past, when people discredited Hublot for being too similar to Audemars Piguet. It was unpleasant, but it was not too difficult to see why. The design, the concept, and the execution were uncannily familiar. But things have changed . The new Hublot MP-05 “LaFerrari” is oneRead More

Review of Franck Muller 7 Days Power Reserve Skeleton with Specs and Price
Truth to be told, it has been quite some time since we were intrigued by a Franck Muller watch. In the recent history, Franck Muller seemed to have diverted from their ethos and created humdrum pieces like the Conquistador GPG and the Infinity Ronde. The 7 Days Power Reserve Skeleton, however, is a little outstanding though. Franck MullerRead More

Seiko Kicks off their 145th Anniversary Year with Four Limited Editions
I think it’s fair to say that for any watch enthusiast out there that Seiko has played some role in discovering this hobby. As a brand that encompasses a variety of styles and price points, anyone can be introduced to the brand at any level of their growing interest. Because of this, the Japanese watchmaker’s 145th anniversary feels particularly special for anyone who, like me, spent hours scouring eBay for a Seiko, and feeling, in a small way, like you’re a legitimate collector now that you’ve graduated away from the generic watch you grabbed at Wal-Mart on a whim. To celebrate this milestone, Seiko has released four limited-edition gold-accented models, across the King Seiko, Prospex, Presage, and Astron collections. While one may think that these four watches feel slightly disjointed when taken together, each showcases what Seiko does best: balancing form and function in equal measure without ever falling into the trap of ostentation. Take, for example, the King Seiko. This anniversary edition, which joins the KS1969 series, is the first of the four and nods directly to Seiko’s founder himself, Kintaro Hattori. The dial pattern is inspired by one that Hattori-san had engraved on his personal watches and is rendered here in a grey gradient that darkens towards the edges. Keeping with Seiko’s innate ability to add decoration without excess, we see the King Seiko has added gold-colored hands, indexes, and text for a bit of personality against the grey. Most not...
