Watch reviews, comment – and more!
Well, this report will be one of my smaller ones as there is frankly not much to say about the brand or really the watch. I shall however do my best! Okay, so I was at a fairly local seaside resort in the North East recently and popped into a …
Well, you may well look at this pair of sporting delights from Breguet and say, hang on, haven’t these already been reviewed? Is The Writer losing his mind, or just being cynically lazy? Well, you would be correct with the former question, but not so much the latter! Okay, the …
Having a need to investigate some new watches for a change, I decided to call in at my chums at Berry’s in York. I had in fact pre-warned the manager, Michael, a few days before, and as usual, he was very accommodating. Such visits are only occasional and I do …

I first had a hankering for a “Pie Pan” dial model some 15 years ago, and eventually bought one a few years later. This was quite by chance when I popped into Fenwicks on Bond Street, and descended to their men’s dept. Whilst there I noticed a few old …
An initial admission! I have never bought a ladies dress watch – let alone two! How come? Well, I simply saw these on my pal James Kibble’s watch site, and my interest was piqued as they were both made of silver – cases and bracelets. I happen to like silver …
