Vaer D5 Pacific: An Homage Mashup

By Andreas My introduction to Vaer came through their ads. Every day, outdoor-fashion-catalogue-style photos of men doing sporty, sometimes shirtless, outdoor activities popped up in my browser. Often, the watches were small props within the frame. I was completely put off by this style-over-substance marketing. Clearly, their watches would reflect this: attractive and rugged at…

Kiger Milsub: Unboxing & Quick Review

With the intention of posting at least once a week, I’m hereby introducing a new post format that (I hope) I’ll have a chance to do regularly (depending on what watches come my way). Here’s a brief, unboxing review of my latest watch: the Kiger Milsub (RRP $650) Kiger? Milsub? Huh? At a glance, the…

WATCH REVIEW: KOMRADE WHITE POINTER – A LESSON ON DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY

Midly put, microbrand diver watches are often iterations of the classics. Many go too far and only manage to create copies and pastiches of primarily the Submariner, too often wrapped as “homage”. Thankfully, there are those that want to do the complete opposite. It’s difficult to argue that Komrade Watches from New Zealand hasn’t done…

Watch Review: Yema Superman

I have a fascination for French stuff such as wine, food and culture. I’ve been in France many times, both professionally and privately. I speak French, albeit on a very basic level and I find many parts of their history and culture fascinating. A leading figure in my watch community remarked that he thought Yema…

Watch Review: The Froskemann

This summer, a guy in my watch community posted a wrist shot with the comment “what about a watch that has never been featured here before?”. I was a bit puzzled, because it was a bold statement in a community with more than 60 000 members and hundreds of posts each day. Turns out, the man…

Watch Review: Glycine Airman 44 GMT – a Link to the Past

Originally, my plan for this third watch review for another watch. After some requests, I’ve instead chosen to review the Glycine Airman 44 (GL0055). Here’s a watch with a few unique features and a very interesting history. Let’s see if you will enjoy reading this review as much as I did writing it. Timekeeping in…

Watch Review: Tissot Seastar – The Dress Diver?

This proved to be the most difficult review of the three I planned to post this summer. At first glance, the Tissot Seastar 1000 is a straightforward watch at a straightforward price. Lo and behold, reviewing this piece in depth opened up so many aspects which I had to make sense of. Let’s see if…

Watch Review: Sinn 104 – The modern classic pilot

“You don’t buy a watch to keep time” says a somewhat famous Nordic watch collector. Being a fairly ascetic person, at least in some regards, I struggle justifying myself owning more than a few watches. Some justifications make (somewhat) sense when I explain them to other people. One good reason is that when having various…

Short version: this one wins over the Tudor Pelago Short version: this one wins over the Tudor Pelagos. 

Full version:
A while ago I had an interesting discussion with a fellow student at h man and good good friend. I admitted that my trustworthy Tissot Seastar yet again got more wrist time than the Tudor Pelagos. I started thinking in terms of if I would part with one of them, it might well be the Pelly. And that’s exactly what happened.

Better yet; this became my choice for the weekend getaway from my decimated collection. The true watch experience is not correlated much with the price of a watch. I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy a great deal of watches but this one hasn’t left and most likely won’t. The Tudor Pelagos is in good hands, but not mine. And will hopefully get the wrist time it deserves. 🖤🖤🖤
