A closer look at the Italian Microbrand’s U3 series. Back in my younger days, I remember clamouring to the television in the evenings after rushing my homework earlier in the afternoon. For the generation familiar with Kids Central (shout out y’all are the cool kids), that’s when all the action shows ran and more specifically – Power Rangers. I can’t remember which generation of the … Continue reading Big & Bold – Unimatic U3-F Review
If Optimus Prime wanted to wear a watch, this could perhaps be it. The watch world tends to be a pretty serious place; everyone has an opinion about what’s good what isn’t, and critics circle about like starving piranhas, waiting to tear into the next watch that happens to swim their way. Needless to say, getting into watches can be a rather daunting task. Every … Continue reading More than Meets the Eye! Mr Jones Watches Ricochet Review
Seiko calls this one the “Night Vision” – I call it the Seiko Lightsaber. Am I the only one that sees the minute hand in this manner? Looking at the thumbnail of the post, chances are that you’ve seen this one before, or may even be familiar with it. The Seiko Prospex Speedtimer Solar Chronograph series was first launched around 2 years ago, and it … Continue reading A Darker Twist – Seiko SSC917P1 Prospex Speedtimer “Night Vision” Review
Is this watch too small or will it be a case of David vs Goliath? Many of you would be familiar with the story of David versus Goliath, in which a small, seemingly weak shepherd boy, defeats the hulking giant of Goliath with nothing but a slingshot and a single stone. Its a classic story, and one that everyone loves – the underdog rising to … Continue reading Punching Above its Weight! The Marathon GPQ Sage Green 34mm Review
The world of watch mod-ing offers boundless possibilities, but should you take the plunge? I don’t follow the Marvel Cinematic Universe religiously, but I do enjoy a good story and while the Scarlet Witch kind of went full out loco in the latest Dr Strange film, WandaVision was one of my personal favourites amongst the series. Without spoiling too much (in case you haven’t watched … Continue reading Pot of Gold at the End of the Rainbow? – Seiko Rainbow Daytona “Clear” Mod Review
The Moonwatch’s underrated cousin you never heard about, but should definitely get to know – meet the Dynamic III Chronograph from Omega. When it comes to watches, it’s hard to deny that Omega’s Moonwatch has one of the best (if not the best) backstories. Arguably Omega’s most iconic watch, the Speedy has captured the hearts of both enthusiasts and non-enthusiasts alike since 1957, and continues … Continue reading It ain’t no Speedy, It’s a Dynamic – Omega Dynamic III Chronograph Review
90s retro goodness in an (almost) indestructible package at a great price! It’s been some years since I last stepped into a primary school, but if I had to, I’d venture a guess that the “cool” kids nowadays have an Apple watch. Things definitely weren’t the same back in my day; in the early 2000s, you were beyond cool if you had a mobile phone … Continue reading Seeing Triple! – Casio G-Shock DW5900 “Triple Eye” Review
If I had to introduce Boldr as a television series, it would be Star Trek. Can the Venture Field Medic II be the “Enterprise” of the watch world? If I had to pick, I would say that I’m more of a Star Wars than Star Trek kind of guy. You really can’t beat Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan battling it out with Darth Maul to the tune … Continue reading To Boldr-ly Go Where No Man Has Gone Before – Boldr Venture Field Medic II Review
Star Wars references aside, can the chronograph version of the empire outdo it’s automatic cousin? This is the second post of a two-part series. If you haven’t already, check out part one here before continuing. If you’re into the microbrand scene, you may have heard of Vario, a Singaporean watch brand with several successful releases to it’s name. Each Vario release is tied to a … Continue reading The Empire Strikes Back! – Vario Empire Chronograph Review
The glitz and glam of the 1920s meets modern day watchmaking in this art deco inspired piece. This is part one of a two-part series on the Vario Empire. Check out part 2 here. I’m going to start by confessing that I know almost nothing about the 1920s; I was born in the 90s and the 20s seem (literally) a lifetime away. As Wikipedia has … Continue reading Back to the Roaring Twenties – Vario Empire Grey Tuxedo Review
