I am sure that each and every one of us has experienced that heartbreaking moment when you scratch a watch for the first time. A table, a door, the wall or whatever it is, will leave a nasty memory in the experience you have of owning it. I still recall the exact moment I ding…
Recently, I’ve experienced several watches that all wrestle with the same problem in different ways. Vario, Timor, and Ollech & Wajs each draw heavily on history, yet each brand has landed on a different answer to a question that sounds simple and is not: how much of a vintage…
If there were a city in the United States that could best be compared to the Swiss watch brand Tudor, it would probably be San Diego, California. If sister brand Rolex feels most at home in Manhattan, then Tudor is most certainly the monarch of the West Coast’s dynamic yet chi…
