Time Machines: Accidentally Ahead Of The Investor Curve With The Ebel Sport Chronograph ‘El Primero’ Watch
In my experience, the problem with collecting watches for fun and profit is that collecting for profit tends to strip away the fun, and collecting for fun virtually guarantees no profit. As such, I’ve never really gravitated towards hype pieces in my own collection, and buying…

Lorige X InterEuropol Competition BL-Endurance Watch From LMP2 Brake Pads
Given that I am the sort of person who jumps up from the sofa not only during sketchy overtake manoeuvres but also when watches I care about are shown casually worn in the paddock or the cockpit, I do enjoy proper motorsport-derived watch releases. As a brand founded and run by…

Hands-On: The Hautlence Kubera Is A Jump Hour Watch Inspired By Cubism
The Hautlence Kubera is a lovely watch that was marred by poor product release timing. The cubist expression of modern horological design cannot be appreciated on its own, but it must be evaluated in the context of the infamous Patek Philippe Cubitus (like other square or…

One Hundred Miles With The Garmin Fēnix 9 Pro Smartwatch

My First Doxa Review: The Sub 300 Beta ‘Frogger’ Collab Watch
I’ve been reviewing watches for eight years now, including the last four at aBlogtoWatch. While I’ve handled my fair share of Doxa watches at events and meetups, and I’ve long had my eye on the Doxa Army, I’ve never spent more than a few minutes with one until now. While the new…
