New Timex Giorgio Galli S2 Automatic – A Thousand Dollar Timex?

Robert Farago — Wed, 23 Aug 2023 13:34:29 +0000

The new Timex Giorgio Galli S2 Automatic costs $975 plus tax. That’s a major if not laughable step-up for a brand known for watches that sell for $40 and under (no commission on links). The American-assembled America Documents (favorably reviewed here) was pushing it at $500. This? The Timex Giorgio Galli S2 Automatic represents the […]

What Do Pilots Need in a Pilot’s Watch?

Nick Leghorn — Sun, 30 Oct 2022 18:22:45 +0000

In the hierarchy of coolness, pilots are the pinnacle. There’s a reason pretty much every cinematic secret agent, action hero and whip-bearing archaeologist gets behind a stick and rudder. By extension, pilot stuff is cool. “Remove Before Flight” keychains. Aviator sunglasses. And yes, pilot watches. But what does a pilot actually need in a watch? […]

Buceador Caribe by Cuervo y Sobrinos

Robert Farago — Tue, 28 Sep 2021 22:05:47 +0000

I love all my children the same, but differently. Same goes for my favorite watch brands. Sinn’s humorless dedication to tool watch indestructibility floats my boat. Grand Seiko flicks my Bic because they’re perfect. Cuervo y Sobrinos earns my admiration with their combination of minimalism, dial texture and, most of all, color. Not all of […]

Panerai Movement Scandal?

Franz Rivoira — Fri, 20 Aug 2021 15:45:53 +0000

“The new P.9200 caliber used in Panerai’s recently introduced chronograph family is a basic ETA 2892-A2 with Dubois Dépraz chronograph module,” pereszcope.com reports, kicking off the Panerai movement scandal. The problem? By giving the movement an “in house” Panerai designation, the Swiss-not-Italian watchmaker stands accused of misrepresenting a garden variety movement – and charging through the nose for it. […]

Celebrity Watches Suck

Robert Farago — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 15:20:52 +0000

If you’re a celebrity, the world is your Oyster. Alternatively, a $3m “one-of-a-kind Richard Mille RM 56-01 Tourbillon, decked out in green sapphire.” That’s according to hypebeast.com. dmarge.com pegs it at $2.5m. Truth be told, neither website gives a flying f*ck how much Jay-Z paid for his ugly ass watch. Or the fact that Shawn […]

Lüm-Tec Combat B49 24H Review

Racer88 — Mon, 28 Jun 2021 02:48:23 +0000

Before I received my first Lüm-Tec, I was picking up what they were putting down. Aside from Lüm-Tec’s personalized attention and veterans’ discounts, I couldn’t resist their unique design language and luminous technology. I signed-up for two more watches on pre-order. The Lüm-Tec Combat B49 24H was delivered a week or so ahead of its […]

Sinn vs. Tudor – 104 St Sa vs. Pelagos

Robert Farago — Tue, 22 Jun 2021 15:08:19 +0000

“I’m looking to buy my first expensive watch (up until now, a Khaki Field had been the pinnacle) and what I expect will be my one-watch collection,” a TTAW reader writes. “I’ve narrowed it down to the Sinn 104 St Sa in matte, or the Tudor Pelagos in black.” Sinn vs. Tudor! It’s on! I […]
