The Sinn 104 is a watch that is near and dear to the hearts of many collectors and aficionados. I know that for many of them, it was their first and/or only foray into higher-end watches. I considered buying one many years ago too but never got around to it. So I am ashamed to […]

Founded in 2007 and with the presentation of its first watch in 2009, Horage is not exactly new to the watch scene anymore. We’ve seen many brands (specifically those of the “micro” variety) enter the stage after that. Although not a big brand regarding production numbers, I wouldn’t describe Horage as a microbrand.

Aquastar has been on a tear since its relaunch in 2020. Since then, we’ve enjoyed a new Deepstar chronograph in two different sizes. The Deepstar II has also been a great success as a time-only rendition of the chrono. Today, we’re excited to share a new dive watch that strays from the Deepstar formula. The […]

Railway watches are a special kind of cool. There are no two ways about it. This Swiss-made classic for Italian railway workers goes a long way in proving my point. Allow me to set the scene… You look down at your watch, its fine, pale enamel dial greets you, glistening in the gloom of the […]

Woop-woop, that’s the sound of the diameter police! “An Explorer 40 was introduced during Watches and Wonders — what a crime against humanity!” The Rolex Explorer is a classic in its 36mm form, and it has also been available in a 39mm version.
