Your choice really as the AquaMatic can do both jobs. Our fave from the range is the Nazare, (above) which celebrates the epic big wave surf off the coast of Portugal. With a … Continue reading New Stuff: Farer AquaMatics Catch The Wave
The Dirty Dozen movie inspired a generation of watch fans to buy a field watch, or milspec if you prefer. Something functional, unshowy and containing lots of lume so that night time timekeeping was available at a glance. Sure, not everyone is a night shift worker, badger den watcher, or serves in the military, but there are lots of reasons why you want a rugged … Continue reading Bremont Broadsword Recon: Dirty Deeds Done Good
Farer has launched a range of Moonphase watches, which celebrate pioneers in astrophysics, plus offer classic dress watch styling details. The three Eddington, Halley and Burbidge models all have 38mm cases, chamfered towards the lugs in a 1930s Deco streamlined style. They also have a dappled effect on the side of the case. Salmon, sky blue or night sky deep blue are your dial colour … Continue reading Farer’s Moonage Daydream
The Christopher Ward Bel Canto was one of the best watches of 2022; interesting to look at, beautifully finished and modestly priced for an hourly chime watch. Now you can pre-order a purple sun-ray dial variant, which retails for a reasonable £2995 on a leather strap. You can switch the chime off if you like, simply by pressing the chamfered button at the 4 o’clock … Continue reading Christopher Ward Bel Canto Gets The Purple Rain Treatment
The MHD Supercar is a quirky design, with its case having a couple of gaps in each side, with a knurled edge visible in each of them. It gives the watch a kind of car grille effect, very reminiscent of the 70s Supercars from Lambo, Ferrari, Maserti, Ford, GM, Jaguar, Aston Martin and more. Pre 1973 oil crisis, it was a golden era for V8/V12 … Continue reading MHD Supercar: Dashboard Delight

Farer has new chronograph on its site and we love the purple dial Swann version. The classic style chrono has soft-edged button pushers, a 39mm case, plenty of lume, plus sapphire crystal and see-thru caseback. At £2095 this is a luxury priced Swiss movement wristwatch, albeit entry level when compared to some Oris, Hamilton’s Intra-Matic and Longines Heritage Aviation models for example. You have that … Continue reading New Farer Swann Chronograph is Edgy, Retro & Elegant
NWC mag are big fans of the Marloe Astro, the square case watch that’s assembled in Scotland. Sharp looks, nice spec for the price. This new Sceptre however is one where the jury is still out at the pub. On the upside a 200m resistance dive watch with an auto movement at £349 is good value, excellent in these inflationary times. But the Miyota movement … Continue reading New Marloe Sceptre is Kinda Curious
