Pinion is a very exciting British brand with their "Ambition in making fine watches is to succeed not in doing more, but doing better" as the found Piers Berry said! Who is also a great guy!

The dial on this watch is what gets me every time, it is on you can continue to look at and find new details each time. At first you think it is just a flat blue dial but then you realise it actually is so much more than that, the way the light plays with the polish of the hands and the numerals. It is a very well built watch that will treat someone very well.

The Watch

An automatic world timer from a respectful and historic brand for under £1000, actually WAY under £1000?! I am very excited to offer this incredible watch from Ball, a brand famous for its involvement in the railways and timing! The watch also features the famously used gas tubes that Ball absolutely love to use, these automatically light the watch in dark situations without an initial charge of light. The watch does come in big at 45mm but surprisingly wears well and is incredibly comfortable on the subtle rubber strap.

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as watch only and comes with no box or paperwork. The watch comes paired on its original BALL rubber strap. The watch has no service history but is currently running well, all functions working as they should!

Personal Note

If value for money is your thing then I really don't even have to sell you on this watch as you would have probably sold yourself already! So much value for money, world timer, Swiss brand, automatic movement, cool lume... All for that price! INSANE!

Do you need a watch that can do everything, even control your lights, build you a home, walk your dog... Well we're not there yet! But this is damn close, instead of listing what it does I just listed what it can't do. It may even be able to control your TV! But in all seriousness this is such a great mutlifunction watch from Seiko! Pick it up, shipped from directly here in the UK means no import fees (Unless you're outside the UK)! Also no huge waiting time for delivery.

Here we have a completely original and untouched Favre-Leuba Harpoon! The reason I add emphasis on "Original" and "Untouched" as one of these watches was sold on a competitors website with a redial and non-original hands for... Are we ready.... $1300! So with that in mind how about I offer you one that has it's original lines on the dial which can only be seen under high magnification and in the right light, it also comes with it's original and insanely domed crystal! The simplicity of this watch is what really makes it charming, the crown is hidden behind the case which only adds to how space like this watch looks on the wrist.

So if you want this watch and want it in original condition and for a very fair price then look no further! We have you covered.

The Watch

With the release of the Limited Edition Omega Seamaster 1948 Olympic in 2018 for the 70th Anniversary of the Seamaster, the popularity of Seamaster's has increased! Thankfully the prices haven't skyrocketed and they are still attainable for most people. The re-edition was based on the CK2577, this reference 165.009 from 1962 is almost identical apart from the roman numerals. This attractive reference features a silver dial with applied indices and long sword hands, match that with the bold 34mm case with oversized lugs and a knurled crown, you have an instantly recognisable Omega Seamaster!

When you consider what this watch offers for a 57 year old watch, it is incredible! And the fact it is still running great today and looks just as brilliant today as it did 57 years ago when it came out of the factory! This is a timeless design, something that you can guarantee will still look fantastic in another 57 years... It has already proven the test of time in regards to design, build quality and movement reliability! 

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as watch only, it comes with a red Omega box, it also comes with an Omega signed buckle. The watch was serviced in December 2018 and is running well. The dial is in great condition, one minor mark to the dial. 

Personal Note

The Seamaster is a true piece of Omega's history and it's nice to see the vintage models still being attainable in price, I wonder how much longer this will be the case? Now is the best time to buy them in my opinion!

If I was to say an Automatic 7750 Chronograph movement, a CERAMIC case over a titanium core, great design and quality, still in guarantee and all that for the list price... Would you believe it? I certainly didn't! I had to go and read and re-read about this watch over and over... The fact that you are getting that much watch for this price is unreal and makes this watch a real value proposition! I would say if you are in the market for such a thing do not hesitate with this one, give me a call for any questions!

The Watch

I remember when I first saw the Tudor Black Bay in person, I always loved the Blue and the Black was classic, but the Red really captured me! It felt different, it looked different on wrist and it just felt like a greater value proposition as how often do you see Red used on watches?! Now certainly it isn't for everyone, but for those that do like it I think you are getting into something very special, rarely seen and something I suspect will continue to go up at an alarming rate in value!

As always, I have to say it, I do not have a glass ball and I cannot read the future! But based on the current trends, I think this will be one of the watches we look back on in many years and wonder how we missed it! The Black Bay range offers incredible value for money and these ETA models have grown in popularity and it won't be slowing down anytime soon that is for sure!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as a complete set with its box, paperwork & comes with the Tudor NATO too. The watch is in great condition, whilst worn it has been well looked after. The watch was purchased August 2013 and was fully serviced by Rolex in August 2017, proof of this comes with the watch. The watch is running great and the ETA is reliable.

Personal Note

If I was to put my money where my mouth is and purchase an ETA Tudor Black Bay to store away in the safe for 20 years, it would be this red model! I genuinly think it is so different and offers so much in terms of value! But that is my opinion, it is down to you to decide what you like ;)

The Watch

A watch designed by a man who is often referred to as "The last Leonardo of the twentieth century" and it is incredibly affordable, don't mind if I do?! In the 1950s Max Bill began working with Junghans and his first piece was a wall clock, later he went on to design wrist watches for the brand too. There in 2010 it was a no-brainer for Junghans to re-release the Max Bill collection as "The Power of Simplicity"!

Here we have the classic Max Bill featuring a manually wound calibre which feels great to use and goes perfectly with the simplicity of the design, use a simple movement that you physically interact with to give life, it all feels very fitting. Clearly inspired by Bauhaus design, this watch portrays elegance and simplicity in a well-proportioned 34mm case that looks timeless on the wrist!

Points of Mention

This watch is sold with its original box and paperwork, the watch was originally purchased in November 2016. The watch comes paired on its original Junghans black leather strap which is in good condition, the watch is overall in good condition. The watch is running great too.

Personal Note

I have always had a deep love and fascination for Junghans, the Max Bill collection offers some of the very best designed watches for some of the very best prices in my opinion. Bauhaus design has always been a fascination for me, having studied Graphic Design at college it was actually a big focus for me, maybe I should get one?!

The Watch

The Bell Matic was introduced for the Japan market in 1966, it was one of the first automatic watch with an alarm and centre rotor. To increase sales, they reduced the original 27 jewels to 17 to allow it to go through US customs without the premium put on the higher jeweled movements, crazy to think that was a tactic! The 17 Jewel movements continued to be used until 1978 when the Bell Matic ceased production. The movement has a 42 hour power reserve. This model has the integrated bracelet for a comfortable fit. The crisp white  dial has the day/date feature, baton hands and indexes all nicely finished. 

Points of Mention

This watch is sold as a watch only and therefore comes with no original Seiko box or original Seiko Paperwork. The watch dates to 1977 and therefore is in vintage condition as you would expect, the dial is in excellent condition with a small marking in the centre that is barely visible when on wrist. The watch functions perfectly with the alarm working as it should, there is no known service history with the watch but it is running well.

Personal Note

Another watch that when it caught my eye I had to have it, I always have a soft spot for integrated bracelets for one! But to have that in such a nice design from Seiko in the 1970s, with the alarm function! It makes this already cool looking watch even cooler!
