Introducing: The Secular Perpetual Calendar Clock From Kubernet

I must admit, I don’t usually give clocks much thought, be they desk clocks, mantel clocks, or travel clocks. There’s a certain charm to them, sure, but they’ve always sat outside my horological radar. That changed somewhat when I stumbled across the Kubernet Eternal Day on social media. I liked the look. I paused, read […] Visit Introducing: The Secular Perpetual Calendar Clock From Kubernet to read the full article.

Celebrating The Cartier Tank’s Evolving Legacy With The New Tank Américaine European Limited Edition

Few watches have transcended time, trends, and geography quite like the Cartier Tank.

Hands-On With The Norqain Independence Skeleton 40mm

Earlier this month, I covered the release of the Norqain Independence Skeleton 40mm. I was relatively keen on the watches due to their compact case design and dimensions.

Introducing: The Hanhart Aquasphere Ocean Fade

Today, we’ll take a look at the latest release from Hanhart. The German brand may be best known for its aviation chronographs, but there’s a rather comprehensive catalog on offer.

I am not entirely sure why, but back in 2022, I didn’t participate in the Fratello EDC (Everyday Carry) series. That’s great because it allows me to go all out this time.

Nezumi is one of those microbrands that I always follow closely.

The brand often uses less obvious color combinations. I like […] Visit Hands-On With The New Nezumi Corbeau CQ4.702 - Featuring Black DLC And A Pop Of Color to read the full article.

Introducing: Two Very Different “Watch Beasts” From Jaquet Droz And Franck Muller

Unfortunately, there’s no In-N-Out Burger in The Hague. Since the American regional chain of fast food restaurants has locations primarily in California and some parts of the Southwest, having a burger at an In-N-Out is a very geographically dictated fast-food privilege. That’s a real shame because I once had the pleasure of having the much-talked-about […] Visit Introducing: Two Very Different “Watch Beasts” From Jaquet Droz And Franck Muller to read the full article.

Omega didn’t make a fuss about these two new gold Seamaster Diver 300M references and just sneakily added them to the catalog.

It’s funny how one’s everyday carry (EDC) can change in just a few years.
