Draken Kruger, African heart

5/6/2022

 
Draken Kruger review
The Draken Kruger is not just any watch, every purchase helps fight poachers that kill Rhinos and if that's not worthy of your support, I don't know what is. The fact that the watch is excellent value and beautiful build quality certainly helps also. Check out my video review here.

Best reissue ever, Nivada BroadArrow

4/2/2022

 
Nivada Grenchen BroadArrow on esbjorn.com.au
Luckily for us, the renewed interest in mechanical watches has seen Nivada rise like the phoenix from the ashes and this is one brand that definitely deserved a triumphant return. I was lucky to have my pick of models to borrow so I picked the Broadarrow Automatic 86001A which is both beautiful and capable. Check out my video review here.

The Mido Decompression timer 1961

Mido 1961 on esbjorn.com.au
The Mido Decompression timer 1962 ltd edition is a watch that simply exists to make us happy. It has many great functions, such as the famous decompression timer dial, a rotating bezel and even time keeping functionality… of sorts.

Grand Seiko Snowflake SBGA211

The Spring Drive is a unique movement that combines the high torque of a mechanical watch with the high precision integrated circuit control system of an electronic watch. It intermittently applies a magnetic brake which gives you that absolutely perfect sweep of the seconds hand which is so incredibly calming to watch. The Snowlake is one of the most beautiful watches in the world and I hope you enjoy the video.

Tudor Pelagos LHD - Long term review

22/6/2021

 
Tudor Pelagos LHD review photo
The Tudor Pelagos is the most comfortable watch that I own and it gets more wrist time than any other piece. I love it. I took my time reviewing the watch since I really wanted to give a long term perspective on the watch. Spoiler alert, it's great.

​As you see in the video, this is well worn and loved. A few small scratches does not bother me. Check out the full review here.

Melbourne Watch Company Chelsea

Interestingly and unlike what feels like every other watch company in the world, there’s not been a proper dive watch as such in their arsenal but that’s about to change. And with some of the best diving in the world in Australian waters, it’s very fitting. Even if all you do is play in the rockpools or the many awesome beaches of this country, this one is for you.

Helm Vanuatu - unrivalled value for money

6/5/2021

 
Unrivalled value for money is what the Helm Vanuatu is known for. Does it live up to its reputation? I think so and I decided that this watch was worth a video review near its element, the ocean. Enjoy!

Halios Fairwind Bathyal Blue

Gerald Genta's Royal Oak

9/11/2020

 
The absolute classic that is the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak was launched around the time of the quartz crisis and here was a steel watch at the same price as a gold watch with a rather controversial design. It was simply bad timing and it was in fact a failure upon launch, even to the point where some employees were rumoured to have been given one to boost numbers. But, Audemar Piguet kept investing and marketing the watch and of course it is now a modern day classic!

Sinn U2 in its element

31/10/2020

 
Living in Australia, snorkelling and diving is in our blood. Taking a deep breath and dive down to see what’s hiding under the coral is a fun thing to do. If you’ve done this yourself, you know what it does to your ears. One of the first things you have to master when learning to dive even a couple of metres down is the skill of equalising the pressure in your ears. Imagine then what kind of engineering has to go into a device that can withstand such pressure!

Hanhart Monoscope

16/10/2020

 
There is a classic Top Gear episode where James May reviews a Honda Civic. Paraphrasing, he says something along the lines of, “if you come out of a grey office and have to go to a marketing conference on the latest tissue paper, that little red starter button might be THE thing that makes not want to drive into a wall.” 

The Hanhart Pioneer Monoscope is no ordinary watch. This is a watch with heritage. And, it has a red button. 

Moving images. It's a thing.
