I don’t know anything about Kikuchi Nakagawa, but the beveling on the hands, the sharpness of their tips, their “3D feel”, as well the more complex sunken subdial and the use of much finer printing …

The fine brushing on the dial surface, the highly raised numerals (which I assume are pad printed but could be engraved lacquer filled?) …. these elements alone make me think it’s a much more premium product. (Basing only on this one photo alone, not know

Some pieces are from the household names and some from the more obscure ones. Here goes, hope you guys enjoy! GS White Birch (Probably needs no intro. The dial is very difficult to capture well in photos. Here, it’s looking a little pink.) GS SBGE227 (A m

Are Indie production times a barrier?

Given the collective experience and wisdom of this forum, I needed to ask your perspective on the following. I know we all have a strong appreciation for Voutilainen and a host of other independent brands, but I have been trying to reconcile the interest

When one can't decide!

Have you ever been faced with a predicament of not knowing which watch to choose especially a similar model with a different dial from the same brand?! Well, this is exactly what I have had to endure so I opted for the easy way out (no, not neglect both w

Ah Bless you!

I have a simple policy which I follow strictly. When I buy a watch, another has to go. In this case it is my unworn Kikuchi Nakagawa Murakumo which ironically is worth more than the Eichi ll in the secondary market.

Well, if I had the money and had to choose my dream team

it would be Anita Porchet for a hand painted enamel dial, Jean-Pierre Hagman for the case and Andreas Strehler for the movement. And I am pretty sure that the end result would surpass Mr Fleming's effort! So if I may politely say, I am not so impressed wi

Today's arrival!

I am pretty sure very few of you have heard of the Elka Watch Company and until three weeks ago, I too had never heard of them. I am generally one who judges a watch based on its merits rather than merely by its history, brand name or hype. So when I spot
