Apollo – A watch that’s out of this world
The Apollo is a new project by Amber Liu following on from her Artemis project last year. It will be launching on Kickstarter on the 28th September. While the Artemis was a fairly ordinary looking moonphase dress watch, the Apollo is something else entirely, pushing the envelope on design ideas to produce something quite exotic.
Havaan Tuvali Squadron One Review
Havaan Tuvali is a brand new micro watch brand from Eric Yeh of Taiwan. This is his first watch currently being offered for purchase. The brand name comes from the Taiwanese aboriginal tribe language meaning “the deer’s sunset”.
Visser – A fantastic new entry into the right market
A watch for everyone, but designed by a sportsman with sportsmen in mind. This seems like an oxymoron, but it isn’t. Though the design of the Visser watch is fishing reel in nature, the look really works for me.
Time to Ride – A watch inspired by Motorcycles and designed for Bikers
Life is all about exploring, where ideas are everywhere and inspiration comes in many forms. That is what Elegantsis Watch Company is sharing with us in today's hands-on review of their latest watch model in collaboration with JSK Moto Co. (also known as JSK Custom...
Hands On Review – The Reverie Classic
The Reverie Classic is the second watch collection from Reverie, the Singapore based microbrand founded by Samuel Tay. Samuel’s design philosophy for this collection is “Shibui”, a Japanese term that translates to simplicity with subtle details that when examined shows far greater complexity.
Caliper D1B Slide Rule Watch – Where Old Tech Meets Modern Tech
The Caliper Slide Rule (or Slide View) watch is the second line of watches launched on Kickstarter by Caliper Timepieces of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The watch retains the see through design of the brand’s first design, but this time adds a piece of history rarely seen or used in the 21st century, a circular slide rule.
Rebel Aquafin – The first Dive Watch From Rebel Time
Back in January 2017 I reviewed the Rebel Classic, a quartz chronograph that I really admire. Please check my review for further information about the company. Right now they are offering two watch lines, the Classic Chronograph and the Aviator Chronograph. Soon they will be offering their first dive watch, called the Rebel Aquafin. I have a prototype of the watch with me and from what I have found this watch has a very promising future.
UNDIVE DARK SEA 500m Dive Watch Review
New micro dive watch brands are popping up all the time. The more the better in my book. Some will put you asleep with boring derivative designs and others will really grab your attention. The UNDIVE DARK SEA 500 M is definitely one in the latter category.
SEATEK ARGO Dive Watch Review
Dive watches are one of my favorite watch types. They can be worn almost anywhere and they have always had an adventurous persona about them. Even if you barely get these watches wet, they generally give the wearer the feeling that they won’t let you down under harsh conditions.
Jubileon Superellipse
We first covered the Superellipse from Jubileon one year ago with their first Kickstarter campaign. I loved the design which was both fresh and timeless. Unfortunately as sometimes happens, the watch was overlooked by crowdfunders and Jubileon had to go back to the drawing board. Thankfully they persevered and have now relaunched the Superellipse with a redesigned dial and hand set.
