It's probably the fact that the company is just over 20yrs old and therefore the associated lack of brand history when compared to similarly priced watches from other 'bigger' brands. If Bremont had been making watches for 70 or 80 years, for example, I doubt the prices would be questioned There ma...

I regret passing up the opportunity to get a blue one at release, but it took me a little while to decide if the Bel Canto was a watch for me. I got there in the end and have a black one on order now for next May. I promise to regularly post pictures of it once it arrives! :) Exactly my approach - ...

I am very fortunate to own four Rolex (all bought new at list price). I own them because they are bloody good watches and all have been special treats, either bought by myself or as gifts from my beautiful wife. I'm lucky to own other very fine watches as well. Do I wear them very regularly, includ...

"Thanks for the note.

Will be in touch early next week to sort this for you, we just need to amend something on the system first.

Have a great weekend."

Yes, likewise.

I like to think I'm obsessed with neither (I know, denial is a river in Egypt!) - but I've ticked watches. The obsession with time is, I think, just a result of the manic lives we now lead where there's too much to do and not enough time to do it. I'm 50 days away from retirement - I have a countdow...

Am I the only one that immediately conjured up the image of Swiss Tony from The Fast Show when reading this?

Ordered today :) Me too! Which one did you go for? I've seen a couple of reviews popping up (and Jody at Just One More Watch has one landing any day, but has already commented that it's great!) which have just made me more keen to get my hands on one!

Ordered today

There’s a couple I’m friendly with locally, and the lady has reached out to me about finding a watch for her husband to celebrate his 65th birthday. She wants to surprise him. He always seems to wear a nice £200-ish quartz Seiko chronograph with date. I know he has had it for quite a few years. She...
