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…

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 – 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…

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…

@rzewatches killing the whole game with this dial. It does play with the light, it masters it.

One of the coolest watches yesterday was this @rzewatches Resolute in the 'Game of Death' palette.

Cool guys too. One of the best stands at the show.

My obsession with cool pink watches was not helped by @ba111od.official at #handsonhorology yesterday. I love this one. Bold colours, ultra legible hands. Their designer is a very talented lady indeed.

I was staying at my brother's flat in London. Bathroom is internal, no windows.  This was the natural lume from the @golbywatches Coastal.  No UV torch, no deliberate light exposure.  Just the Coastal luming up a storm.

This watch did some heavy lifting at #handsonhorology and was noticed by a lot of the #watchfam

Might have to wear it to Solihull on Saturday.

It has been fun checking out all the watches at #handsonhorology but I'm glad to be back home with the collection.

That said, London is unbeatable on a sunny day. It was great to be back.

I'm now the tiredest man who ever lived.  Great show @hands.on.horology.  Met loads of brands.  Lusted over many watches. 

Thanks again @vctwatches for the lift.  You're the best Brazilian since Anderson Silva.

See you in Solihull for @12and60.
