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, 2026April 15, 2026 by Richie

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 that allowed him to…

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…

From the #watchitwatchfair.  @farer_watches had it going on!  Lots of colour, a ton of style.

Its too hot but when the sun's out, I'm BBQing. Here's me frying up a metric ton of onions in preparation. Need a solid watch that can take the heat and smoke.

The GHOST by @eightfivewatches is perfect for any occasion.

#watchesofinstagram #watches #microbrandwatches #watchfam #digitalwatches

The Tin Man just wanted a heart. Me? I'll take an extra half-link on this bracelet. Aside from the slight awkwardness of that, I really enjoy this watch a lot.

Killer dial, tons of personality, tungsten bezel. And it is a quartz, which I've got plenty of time (shut up, me) for.

The Red Kangaroo by @blessington.watches is a solid Aussie offering.

Time for a real world test for my review. Taking the @galvinwatchcompany YÖ out today. It is going to be a hot one today and I reckon this'll work great as a Summer watch.

A quick #lumetest with the @kompaswatch South. Looks like we've got a contender here. Beautifully lumed sword hands and lumed block arabics. This lume is incredible.

Music by @senserband.

Today's pick. The @kompasswatches South. It's definitely got a unique look.

The original SOTC.  I hadn't quite started writing about watches at this point. 

Casio MTD-130D-1A3V - now lives with @thebudgetwatchman

Citizen Perpetual Chrono - the cornerstone of the collection.  The only one that is still here.

Tissot PRS-200 - retired from the collection as it wasn't working right anymore.

Bulova Lunar Pilot - I loved it but it was too big and I fell out of love with chronos.

Proxima PX1701 - I really liked it for a while but sold it on as I didn't like the feel of winding it.  Felt cheap. 

Revelot Mecadromo - again, got bored of chronos.  Was a great looking watch though. 

Phoenix Wavemaster - was my favourite watch at first but now they're my least favourite company.  Sold it and was glad to get rid. 

Pagani Design - I found a great white and red strap and did love the combo.  Watch never quite grew on me though.

Been a long day but a great one. I met a load of watch brands and got to catch up with @vctwatches and @microbrandwatchyt. A couple of proper chaps.

Even met @toptierticker, the first watch reviewer I ever watched review a watch.

The @oga_watch_project has been with me for the whole trip, including over four hours of driving. All that is left is to LUME YOUR RETINAS CLEAN OFF WITH THIS SICK LUME.

Imma sleep now 'til they call me Rip Van Richie.
