Watch Review – McQuaide C1

Posted on August 22, 2026September 13, 2026 by Richie

You C1, you buy it. Twelve reviews ago, back in April (when did we get prolific?!), we took a look at the prototype of the McQuaide C1, and promptly lost our minds over it. After being wooed by the Tissot PRX in Damascus Steel but being put off by the weirdness of the integrated leather…

Watch Review – Walker & Crown Revival

Posted on August 9, 2026 by Richie

It’s hip to be 37mm by 37mm. They used to say that if you remember the 1960s, you weren’t there. Something about everyone being off their heads on acid and listening to Hendrix a lot. And having sex with basically everyone. Don’t ask Auntie Brenda what she was up to in the ’60s, but let’s…

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 – Montera Estria

Posted on May 28, 2026May 28, 2026 by Richie

Mediterranean Sundance. Man, we don’t know what’s happening with these kids at the moment, but we’ve been seeing some outrageously young upstarts releasing watches in the UK microbrand scene.  BVOR blew us away with the Vision recently, and Provoque Watches are doing crazy things with their modular watches. And all these guys are in their…

Oh my.  I'm rarely surprised by a watch but I just received the two @latourainewatches Maritimer Sports that I pre-ordered and there's some sort of witchcraft going on here. 

Stainless steel case with contrasting polish finishes, sapphire crystal, Miyota quartz movement, signed crown, quick release springbars.

That's the sort of goodness I expect to see at the £300. 

These cost £114.

How?!

Full review coming soon.  This is going to get interesting.

In the spirit of the new @microbrandwatchyt video, I'm wearing my Henry Archer.  A watch that has killer looks and spec but one that I've never quite bonded with.  I hope I do though.

God damn it.  I order a couple of affordable watches from America and get hit for a quarter of the price in customs charges. 

That said, I'm looking forward to getting these watches.

Light-powered, radio accurate, always ready.  I love this watch.  Bonus points for not having Moscow (spit!) at 1.30.

Stuck in the office today.  Wearing the @corsowatches Clàssico.  A classic quartz with modern styling and a sweet pistachio colour scheme. 

I love the pick up and go functionality of quartz.  I've not got a lot of time for faff.  Especially when commuting.

Heading out to see comedian/fellow QPR fan @seannwalsh tonight.  Should be a good one.

Channeling my inner @thebudgetwatchman with a #casiowatch Saturday.  The Casio MTP-E740-2A1VER is a classy looking quartz effort that looks way better than the £68 I paid for it.

I originally thought it might be a cstch-review-release kind of piece but it has really grown on me.

Just finished reviewing the Skipping Stone by @golbywatches.

Pretend it's 2008 and read a review.  Your brain and attention span will thank you for it!
