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 …
Toying with penning something new, and rummaging through my collection, it occurred to me that I had not written about a purchase I made a couple of years ago from Kibble watches. Not sure why really, as by any measure, the Zodiac Astrographic is both an interesting and striking time …
Before proceeding, I just wish to comment on my watch sale activities. As readers may know, I have been reducing my watch collection over the past year or so, as frankly things were out of control! Numbering at some 50 (well, that’s what I am admitting to) there was no …
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 …

Whilst recently peering inside cabinets in a jewellery/pawn shop at a coastal resort fairly near me, my eye was caught by a quite striking gold watch. Upon closer inspection I noticed it was a Sekonda, so, summarily dismissed it! A few months later I was in the shop again, and …
As people may know, I have a fairly disparate collection of watches! Although many are quite expensive, the cheapies also get a fair look-in. This aspect has again come to the fore towards the end of last year, after I took a punt on a couple of watch lots at …
I will get the Update out of the way first. As mentioned in earlier posts, I made the decision last November to reduce my watch collection. Three reasons for doing so: Firstly, with in excess of 50 pieces in my collection, I was never going to be able to wear …
This will be a pretty short article. Why? Well, when I acquired this Dunhill watch last November, I had no intention of publicising it as, a) it wasn’t important/interesting enough, and b) it was kind of a “fashion” watch – something I have an aversion to. All that said, I …
