Watch Review – KOMPAS South

Posted on July 21, 2026July 21, 2026 by Richie

All these things shall Kom to Pas. One of the really interesting aspects of the microbrand scene is how some of these brands just seem to spring up from friends or partners deciding they want to make a watch. Whether it’s the husband-and-wife team at Golby, the weaponised toddlers at Montera and BVOR, or just…

Watch Review – Galvin YÖ

Posted on July 12, 2026July 12, 2026 by Richie

Are YÖ experienced? Galvin Watch Company might be as Australian as Bea Smith at a barbecue, but this brand was founded by Swedish-born Susan Galvin, who was raised in Finland and graduated from the Finnish School of Watchmaking before eventually going on to work at Tag Heuer and Omega. However, in 2020, just as she…

Watch Review – OGA Epoch

Posted on July 2, 2026July 12, 2026 by Richie

24 hours from Tulsa. The OGA Watch Project was conceived and created by Mikel Coffee, a Tulsa-based custom watch designer known in the scene for making unique one-off watches from either his own ideas or commissions over at Coffee Wrist Studio. His portfolio there is notable for his signature hand-painted dials, most of which are…

Watch Review – Mezei Watch Company London Smoke and Arctic Blue

Posted on May 8, 2026May 8, 2026 by Richie

Mezei bringing all the smoke. Is it just us, or is the humble dress watch making a bit of a return to popularity? Sure, dive watches continue to dominate both sales and social media. Don’t get us wrong, dive watches are great, but there’s such a glut of them that they struggle to stand out…

Watch Review – OGA Watches Emergent

Posted on April 14, 2026July 12, 2026 by Richie

Born to be blue. In an age where watch lovers are looking for ever bolder and brighter dials and statement pieces, one man who really gets that is Mikel Coffee. He started out as an independent watch modder, creating one-of-a-kind modded watches. And while he’s not a traditional watchmaker, it was his eye for design…

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 – 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…

A little bit of electroluminescence with the GHOST by @eightfivewatches.

I've never had a need to use a tachymeter.  A pulsometer at least has a bit more utility for a similar aesthetic.

Had to do it. I'm in the mood for something square to break up the circle monopoly in my display box, red is the best watch colour and I'm a tart for full lume. Also, after loving the @mcquaide_watches C1's big crown, I'm glad to see one here. So, I just had to pre-order the @areanostalgiawatches Mantel. 

Will it work on my frankly bullshit 6.25 inch wrist? Let's see. But already from the photo there are like ten details that I want to get right into. 

Between this and the @walkerandcrown Revival (I'm waiting on that Electric Lagoon release), it's looking good for square watches right now. 

Excitement!

Been away for a few days with just one watch.

#microbrandwatches #watchesofinstagram #watches #watchfam #ukwatches

I'm down south with the @smwatches_skb SN0148GX. At the National Film Museum.

#watchesofinstagram #watches #watchfam #microbrandwatches

Heading home to London for a few days.  Wanted something solid but beautiful.  TBH I've been waiting for a green watch to come and replace it in the box but so far nothing has beaten it.
