I commented and posted in the past why I think that the SM 37mm SN007-G-X is a better 62MAS than anything that Seiko launched and why they can't recreate the 62MAS.

I own a Max Bill Bauhaus and I have no complaints regarding the build or quality. The style is more of a personal preference, but it's one that I happen to like - a lot.

However the Chronoscope is a different beast and you really need to be committed to Bauhaus ideas of streamlining designs to buy one since Junghans decided to remove the second's hand in order to preserve the design's symmetry.

I have to admit that the pseudo heraldic logo of Orient looks exactly like something I would expect to see on a cigarette carton.

Fully lumed dials, what do you think and what do you have?

I'll be the first to admit that fully lumed dials are kind of a party trick for me. They are nice as a novelty but I would not base a collection aroun...

Neo-retro done right

It's no secret that my preference for watch leans toward retro. I find that the 70's "lost decade" is a fascinating era and the watches designed durin...
