Watch Review – Citizen Perpetual Chrono A.T

Posted on May 25, 2025March 5, 2026 by Richie

The Citizen Perpetual Chrono A.T is, to put it lightly, quite the watch.  I found it last year when looking to spend some vouchers at a major department store in the UK.  I’d been window shopping for a couple of days, trying to find the right watch to mark a landmark birthday (I won’t say…

Watch Review – Casio MTD-130D-1A3V

Posted on May 12, 2025May 12, 2025 by Richie

The MTD-130D-1A3V is a cheap-but-classy field watch from Casio that arrived last year in 2024 and caught a little bit of attention because of similarities to Seiko’s Alpinist range.  And it’s probably the watch that we can most credit with getting us back into watches generally.  That’s because at the time our search criteria was…

Watch Review – Revelot Mecadromo

Posted on May 5, 2025 by Richie

We’ve had four Revelots (Rev-ELO?  Reve-LOT?  Rev-enge of the LIVING DEAD?) here at Watch Country and while this is the latest one to get a review, it was actually the first one we picked up.  Thereby introducing us to the Malaysian microbrand.  The Mecadromo range came out last year (2024) and wowed the microbrand scene…

Watch Review – Henry Archer Tesseract

Posted on April 21, 2025April 22, 2025 by Richie

In the world of watch collecting, there’s a lot said about your grail watches.  That one piece that you wait and save for, the end boss of the videogame so to speak.  For normal collectors that usually means upping your game price-wise.  Stepping into the luxury market with something like your first Omega or stepping…

Watch Review – Revelot Terra Fortune

Posted on April 9, 2025April 22, 2025 by Richie

We’re big fans of Revelot (Revel-oh, Reve-lot, Reverend Horton Heat?!).  They’ve been on a super-hot streak of putting out watches with really striking looks.  We started with the Mecadromo (we’ll review that one soon) and then picked up two of their gorgeous Hexmariner 39 range.  But as soon as the Hexmariners launched and went through…

Watch Review – Proxima PX1701

Posted on April 7, 2025April 22, 2025 by Richie

Proxima, to us, are the quintessential Chinese microbrand.  What they lack in terms of pure quality and engineering they make up for with price and some interesting designs.  But does the PX1701 do enough to wash away the AliExpress stigma? Floating around the £200 mark (honestly, AliExpress prices vary so wildly that stating a price…

Watch Review – Revelot Hexmariner v2 39

Posted on April 4, 2025January 26, 2026 by Richie

The Hexmariner 39 is a dive watch from the exciting Malaysian-based microbrand Revelot (Reveh-LOT?  Reveh-LOW?  The Rezillos?).  The 39, of course, being a reference to the case size which is a welcome reduction from last year’s Hexmariner 42.  Those of us with skinny wrists are going to be very happy with that change. We’ve already…

Watch Review – Phoibos Wavemaster

Posted on April 2, 2025April 21, 2025 by Richie

The Wave Master is, as the name suggests, a dive watch from Phoibos, the Hong Kong-based microbrand who have been making waves (shut up, me) and growing their reputation in the microbrand scene thanks to some striking designs and decent technical chops. We picked this one up ourselves when the watch-addicted algorithm that permeates our…

I'm a sucker for a nice dial but this is a gorgeous one.  Not seen @reveriewatches before but I checked out this one at @vctwatches HQ and it was very cool.

Met up with my buddy @vctwatches and checked out his @areanostalgiawatches piece.  Very cool.  The sort of unique design that you need to see in real life to really understand.

If I'm repping the #ukwatches scene, and I am, then it has to be a @golbywatches piece.

See you at #handsonhorology if you're going to be there, people.
