Every now and then I find a topic or theme in horology that awakens my curiosity (high frequency watches: has been one). The latest one are deadbeat seconds watches, also known as jumping seconds or

As seen in several threads here so far, there have been at least five fortunate Purists, who managed to bag their specimen of the first anniversary limited edition (25 pieces) Ming 17.03 Ultra Blue (h

While the Montblanc 1858 Monopusher Chronograph LE 100 (here: for more) - rightfully - got the most coverage amongst Montblanc’s newly expanded 1858 collection during and after SIHH2018, it is possib

As evident from many of my threads (here: www.watchprosite.com or here: www.watchprosite.com for recent examples) I have a weakness for Fast Beat watches. At the same time I have been

Returning from holidays is a great way to reconnect with watches you haven’t taken with. And as another watch from the Fastbeat list (here: www.watchprosite.com for potential candidates) is in

A long, long time ago, four Purists met in Zagreb. Damjan, Padj, Art and yours truly. As so often at these events watches were discussed, bread was broken, online friendships cemented in real life. Ar

The title has a twofold meaning in this case. First of all I entered into a gentleman’s agreement with Nilo that he’d get a Montblanc watch if I was to get an Omega. I have to admit he’s been much fas

Some time ago I entered into a gentleman’s agreement with Nilo - each one of us would get a watch of the brand the other one was moderating. Or put differently, a Montblanc for him, an Omega for me. W

It would have been the 4th anniversary of my time here on the 28th of May but it appears I have reached the round posting number a bit prior to that. So what to say? At this post count one could safel

I guess little needs to be said about the watch, as it appears every second Purist bagged one. Haven’t really posted on mine yet, apart from a quick confirmation on Mike’s roll-call. And while I have

Being one of the lucky few who managed to bag the limited Ming Watches 17.01 - their maiden product - I was even happier having gotten the opportunity to try out their follow-on product - the 17.03. S

With scores of Purists having gotten a Seiko Presage since the sub-brand’s relaunch at Basel 2016, I was wondering on what the general dial preference might be. I guess we all agree that the myriad sp

Some time ago Nilo and I entered into a gentlemen’s agreement - a Montblanc for him and an Omega for me. While he has already fulfilled his end of the bargain, I have done so only partially - by getti

For the 20th Anniversary of the Grand Seiko 9S mechanical movement family three new watches (platinum, rose gold and steel) with the Special and VFA ratings are about to be launched. Being a steel kin

As discussed with Padj in another thread, simplicity certainly has an appeal all of its own (here: www.watchprosite.com for thread). So I thought of offering a Seiko proponent of this school o

When we are talking about haute horlogerie from Montblanc, it is most frequently the Villeret and 1858 lines that are being discussed. In addition to those, there are complicated pieces in the Heritag

Yesterday the first product of the Kern era Breitling has been unveiled - the Navitimer 8. It is certainly not a rehash of the Navitimer as we most often know it (slide rule and all). At the same time

The three letters VFA - Very Fine Adjusted - usually conjure up sweaty palms and excitement amongst Seiko enthusiasts. They have historically stood for the most accurate time pieces, beating the stand

We have seen the novelties from SIHH2018 last week, so it's time for reflection. If you've been to the SIHH, I would be looking forward to your pictures and reflections, if you are an owner, to a pict

Some first information on the updates of the Star Legacy line have already been published prior to SIHH (here: www.watchprosite.com more) and I have put on a post on the new Nicolas Rieussec v
