The latest addition to the Ball range is the Roadmaster M Chronograph, which has that trademark gas tube lume, black, blue or white dials, ceramic bezel and a lockable chrono pusher, so you won’t accidentally start the stopwatch feature. It’s a 41mm wide case and sits pretty high at just over 14mm on the wrist….

It’s The Northern Watch Co Magazine’s Tickety Boo Awards 2022!
Not as woke as the Oscars. Not as amusing as the Golden Globes and mercifully shorter than thanking your agent speeches at the BAFTAS, we present our very first NWC magazine Tickety Boo Awards. If you’re from another culture, Tickety Boo is English slang for `everything is doing nicely’ so there y’go. We don’t have…
LIV P-51 Frenesi Chronograph is A Top Spec Machine
OK, we know what you’re thinking, $1470 for a LIV watch? Seems expensive, but wait, this has the legendary Valjoux 7750 movement inside and there aren’t many brands selling a 7750 powered watch for under $2000 or two grand sterling. It’s a great engine, much like the Rolls Royce engine inside the P51 Mustang fighter…

Crafter Blue Bon Voyage; Classic Chrono Style for $299
This classic styled Bon Voyage model from Crafter Blue is a nice 70s style watch, with a Seiko meca-quartz VK series movement inside the 42mm case. It has the usual sapphire crystal, but the dial is enamelled, not just printed on, which is a beautiful old school touch. Most 19th century pocket watches had enamel…
Collabs: Snow White TAG Carrera is a Festive Winner
The TAG Carrera is a classic chrono design and it’s nice to see different dial colours apart from the usual black or blue. Why not make a white one for Christmas? That’s what the collab gurus at Watches of Switzerland thought and we agree, it looks sharp. That bold white dial, with black sub-dials and…
