Watch Review – Blessington Red Kangaroo

Posted on June 6, 2026 by Richie

That’s not a dial.  That’s a dial. Australia has given the world some great things. Prisoner: Cell Block H may have been laughed at for its low quality sets and questionable acting, but that shit went hard back in the ‘80s with plotlines that could have made it into HBO’s Oz (a hardcore drama about…

Watch Review – Phoibos Voyager

Posted on May 21, 2026May 21, 2026 by Richie

We went on quite the journey. When I was fannying about at the start of my collecting journey and trying to figure out what I actually liked about watches, I picked up a Phoibos, and it was my favourite watch for well over a year (not so much on a technical level, although it was…

Watch Review – Golby Aquareef 40

Posted on April 22, 2026April 22, 2026 by Richie

Crowns to the left of me, a Joker to the right. Here I am, stuck in the middle of a review. England’s own Golby Watches have been making a name for themselves in their home country, but also in the global microbrand scene. They’re fully involved. Attending events across the world and posting on social…

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 – Revelot Hexmariner v3

Posted on January 26, 2026February 19, 2026 by Richie

The microbrand scene has somewhat exploded in recent years with new companies springing up all the time and while certain manufacturers, like Studio Underd0g and Christopher Ward, have placed themselves at the head of the scene, there are still smaller companies that are able to generate a bit of buzz amongst all the noise.  Malaysian…

Watch Review – Golby Coastal

Posted on December 13, 2025March 25, 2026 by Richie

As a UK-based website, we’re always keen to see what watch designs and innovation our fellow countrymen-and-women come up with and when strap-maker turned watch-maker Craig Golby, of Golby Watches (at last, a microbrand you can actually pronounce confidently), first revealed the Coastal range, we were very intrigued.  They had already released their first watch…

Watch Review – San Martin SN0148-GX

Posted on November 28, 2025November 28, 2025 by Richie

While we don’t tend to review Chinese watches often, specifically those that tend to sell via AliExpress, we have dabbled in that market a couple of times.  Our very first review on here was the Proxima PX1701, a rather unique dressy diver with a translucent dial that really highlighted the date wheel, and prior to…

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.
