Isotope watches are introducing the limited edition Hydrium Seconde/Seconde/, a groundbreaking Memento Mori watch without a skull.
Isotope Watches Introduces the new Hydrium Seconde/Seconde/
When José, the owner and ECD of Isotope, approached Romaric to create a watch commemorating the new logo and Isotope’s 7th anniversary, Romaric had a different idea. Instead of simply celebrating the new logo, he wanted to pay homage to the death of the old logo and create something truly unique: a skull free Memento Mori watch.
Romaric André, the creative mastermind behind Seconde/Seconde/, began his jou ..read more

Boxes aren’t crucial – and it does a go ..read more

The Art of Timekeeping: Elevating Your Style and Functionality with Dalvey Watches
First introduced in the 1500s, watches have long been the gatekeeper of time. Initially prized for its functionality, the telling of time has rapidly changed in the last 600 years. As time passes, watches become a status symbol with impeccable style for the modern man. Recognized as one of the most notable accessories on a man, it is not as simple as choosing what fits best.

Combining influences from Robin Hood and James Bond, the Sherwood Commander is the first watch from a new British brand.
Sherwood Commander Review
The Sherwood Command is currently funding on Kickstarter with – at the time of writing – about three weeks to go. It’s almost at its goal, and as long as sufficient backers sign up before the deadline, watches should start arriving in buyers’ eager hands later this year.

AVI-8 are back with their first dual-time chronograph: the AVI 8 Hawker Hunter Atlas Dual Time Chronograph.
AVI 8 Hawker Hunter Atlas Dual Time Chronograph Review
AVI-8 has been on something of an upward spiral recently with – for the most part – their watches matching the quality of sister brand Spinnaker. The brand has had a change of direction recently, raising its prices, closing its UK distribution centre and changing its policy of giving away dozens of watches to reviewers. I was interested to see how this new watch would fare as its £310 price tag is well above the usual AVI-8 price poi ..read more

A second review from the Chinese watch brand with a slightly underwhelming name: Is the WishDoIt skeleton watch a genie in a lamp or a curse?
WishDoIt Skeleton Watch Review
The last WishDoIt watch I reviewed (the WishDoIt GT Skeleton Chrono) showed promise but ultimately fell at the last hurdle with questionable branding, a mineral crystal and an underwhelming quartz movement. The brand sent me a second watch so I could see whether the watches represent better value at a lower price point.

While necklaces, bracelets and diamond rings are very much just for decoration, the watch you wear tells a story. You might not realise it, but people tend to take notice of the watch you wear. The right watch for the right occasion is a must for some people. The right watch for all occasions is how others see it. This is a divide that will trigger arguments until time itself is no more. So, let’s try and find an answer to whether a dress watch or diver watch is the best?
