[VIDEO REVIEW] LIV GX-Diver Full Lume
Sporting a completely lumed-out dial, an ETA automatic, 300 m of water resistance, and a 5-year warranty, there are a lot of things to like in the GX-Diver Full Lume. Let’s explore this after-hours superstar in more detail, shall we?
[On the Wrist] D1 Milano Atlas Automatic
The Atlas is a fine looking watch, albeit one that lacks much in terms of personality. It’s not a bad watch – far from it, in fact – but it doesn’t bring anything new or exciting to the table. At $625, the Atlas is also priced on the high-side considering the NH35 movement used.
[Hands-On] Mitch Mason Chronicle Military Field Watch
The Chronicle by Mitch Mason is the first in what I hope is a series of successful watch launches rom this Signapore-based microbrand.
If you’re looking for a versatile and sensible everyday wastch, the Chronicle fits the bill nicely.
[UP CLOSE & PERSONAL] René Mouris MYTHIQUE
The Mythique is an interesting watch. Well made and fancily constructed, it’s clearly focused more on fashion than on function, but if that’s what you’re seeking, the Mythique may well be the addition to the wrist you’re looking for.
MHD SA2 REVIEW
The SA2 collection, penned by Matthew Humphries, formerly the Chief Designer of Morgan Motor Company and someone with a resume centered around the auto (he is also the “MH” in MHD), is a watch that I love to show to people. It’s a great example of what makes a mechanical watch a genuine connection with time.
Orion Watches “Hellcat” Review
The Hellcat is Orion Watches fifth model and is a sensibly-sized Pilots watch. Powered by a Miyota 9015 automatic and sporting a gorgeous sunburst burgundy dial, the Hellcat is an awesome addition to anyone’s wrist.
Kronhauser Automatik Review
Sensible sizing and well-executed design come together in the Automatik collection from Kronhauser, which proves that nailing the basics is still a winning formula when it comes to microbrand watch design.
I Put On the GEAR’D HARWARE Juggernaut & PROCEEDED TO WALK THROUGH WALLS
50 mm, about a mile high, and made to break through walls. The Juggernaut is some of these things, but not all.
LIV Watches Rebel-A “Cosmic Grey”
Up next is another one from LIV, the 41 mm rectangular Rebel automatic. Also powered by a Sellita SW200-1, the Rebel auto is definitely an attention-getter.
[Review] LIV Watches GX1-A in Sky Blue
This is my first taste of what LIV can do, but it’s a great one. Check out the LIV Watches GX1-A, which is my new favorite automatic microbrand watch.
[Long-Term Review] Barrington Watch Winders
Barrington Watch Winders come in many flavors. This one is a single winder done in a piano white finish that rings in at just under $200 USD. While overall a good winder, there are a couple of areas where it could improve.
Review: Beacon Watch Co. Pathfinder
This version of the Longitude is big, bold, and blue. It’s a 42mm dress watch that ships with an attractive open heart and guilloche dial on blue-dyed crocodile-grain leather. It is a very attractive piece, albeit on the busy side of design, and is guaranteed to grab the attention of anyone in its vicinity.
Worn & Reviewed: D1 Milano Skeleton
D1 Milano is an Italian microbrand that is fashion-focused. The Skeleton, a 41.5mm dress watch, is a fine example of an affordable automatic watch with a gorgeous skeleton dial.
