German Sinn watches are known for serious professional-use timepieces and not much else. A design-oriented novelty watch, no matter how well-made, just isn’t part of their DNA. That doesn’t mean they haven’t dabbled in fanciful things though.

Damasko DA44 Watch
One of the most notoriously difficult to find German watch brands is Damasko. They tend to make cool, high-function tool watches for a fair price. If you are a fan of Sinn, you’ll also like Damasko – and it goes without saying that Damasko’s designs are highly inspired by Sinn timepieces (which are also less [...]
Mühle Glashütte Terranaut III Trail Watch
Over the last few years my level of interest in Mühle Glashütte watch has increased a fair amount. Their sport offerings are getting more cleverly designed, and this Terranaut III Trail is a slick looking casual sport watch that looks like it borrows a page out of the Bell & Ross playbook. What you essentially [...]
Dievas Vortex Professional Watch Review
I first want to say that this watch has intense lume. Any watch with a dial such as this mostly covered in luminant is going to glow like crazy…
Elysee Classic Aviator Automatic 71003 Watch Review
Newer watch brand ELYSEE offers a range of styles and values with most of their products being under $1,000…
Dievas Vortex Professional Watch
Dievas is following up the original Vortex with this Vortex Professional. I always liked the original Vortex. It more or less combined the best features of a dive watch with the best features of an aviator watch. For many people, this is the ultimate “mission” timepiece. Two years after the original Vortex was released the [...]
Genesis: German Men’s Watches By A Woman
Genesis is not just a neat sounding word that someone thought would make for a good watch brand name. It is rather the name of the brand’s founder and designer – Christine Genesis. How convenient is that? To have a cool last name like that? Christine is a rare breed being a full-on watch maker [...]
Greiner Taktlos Erotic Watches Make Me Giggle Like A German School Boy (NSFW)
OK, OK, you can’t start reading this article on this god-awful watches without doing the following first – I am trying trying to give you the full Greiner experience! Click the following link that will open in a new window. Start the video about Greiner, and ideally have it playing in a window next to [...]
Limes Chyros Watch
New for fall are these German made Limes Chyros watches. They have Ickler cases and a neat style to them. Something classic, Bauhaus, totally German, and also highly appropriate about these watches. I do quite like the Chyros watches, I did from the moment Limes let me check them out – what is hard however [...]
Sinn Model 902 Limited Edition Watch
I think Audi is the brand to mostly thank for this new Sinn timepiece. Back in 2004 (ish) they worked with Sinn to create a couple of limited edition watches branded “Audi Design.” Those watches (at least some of them) you can see below, and seem to be where this squareish, cushion case style came [...]
Stienbeck Kamerawerk Camera Watch From 1949
Still in Japan now, but I need to keep up the blogging else my loyal readers may violently demand I continue to write. I miss being at the computer, no worries about long pauses in content. While on my trip a reader pointed out this eBay auction for an interesting piece of watch and photographic [...]
Archimede Pilot XL Automatik Watch
If you are looking for a good priced, well mannered, and large sized pilot style watch, this just might be the piece for you. Archimede released their next Pilot automatic watch with the Pilot XL Automatik. The watch takes everything you like about the traditional simple Pilot watch look and ups the size from 39mm [...]
Last Chance To Get Dievas Vortex Watch At Pre Order Price
Quick reminder that today is the last day to get the pre-order price of $780 for the cool new Dievas Vortex hybrid dive/aviator watch. I wrote about the Vortex watch previously here. Really one of my favorite timepieces this year, and a great value for the price. Made in Germany, Swiss automatic movement, 44mm wide [...]
Dievas Vortex Diver Watch
There is literally a long laundry list of positive points about this watch. I rarely do this, but I pasted below words directly from Dievas on this new Vortex watch because I think they did a good job at summing the watch up. A lot to like here. Not the most original watch around, but [...]
Kazimon Eintausend 1000m Diver Watch
I’ve liked the Kazimon Eintausend ever since I first noticed it a while back. With the tons of watches vying for my attention the classy German diver sat by idly waiting for me to notice it once again. Now, after revisiting the Eintausend watch again I am pleased to say that the design still pleases [...]
A. Lange & Sohne Factory Trip Part 2: The Luxury German Watch Manufacturing Process
Mysteries are things you can’t unravel in your mind. Knowledge of origin is key to dispelling an enigma, and the pathway to appreciation. You can’t have passion for something you don’t really understand. I began my love of watches ignorant of what went into making most watches. True timepiece appreciation can only come when you [...]
