Hands On the Ebohr Flying Orbital Tourbillon

Hands On the Ebohr Flying Orbital Tourbillon

In terms of modern and complicated high-end Chinese watch brands, Ebohr is definitely topping the list with their line of watches appropriately named...Complication. After having the chance to wear this watch myself I can honestly say, if not for the logo on the dial, one could easily mistake this kind of craftsmanship for something from a high-end Swiss or German luxury watch brand.

Rossini 6633G01B Watch Review

Rossini 6633G01B Watch Review

When I was touring the company and showroom, a few watches stood out from the others. While most of the Rossini watches are designed (and rather well) by their in-house designers, they did partner with a team of Swiss designers for a few watches in their most recent collection. I've been wearing the Rossini 6633G01B for a few weeks now, and it's safe to say that it has found a comfortable home on my wrist.

Review: Dixmont Automatic with Date, 24 Hour Display & Power Reserve Indicator

Review: Dixmont Automatic with Date, 24 Hour Display & Power Reserve Indicator

There's been a lot of interesting comments and opinions over the last few weeks about the necessity of a power reserve indicator on the watch dial. From the comments on our Facebook page and here on EWR, here is a bit of what people had to say:

"I like the idea of the power reserve. I generally don't need it as I keep my automatic watches on a winder. Having said that, it is nice to have a visual indicator that the mainspring is staying wound, even wearing throughout the day. When I travel, it is a nice utility (I take the watch off at night, and next morning can see how much power is left, but gets "filled up" so to speak when wearing)."

"I wind my Breitling 20 times every evening so an indicator isn't really necessary for me but cool none the less."

Buying Watches: Vintage, Unique & Second Hand Watches in Guangzhou

As soon as I walked into GuanYang Watch, I knew I had found a gem. The shop deals in strictly second-hand and vintage mechanical watches (as well as antique clocks). This may not sound special, but when you're surrounded by an obsession for new luxury, finding unique vintage and quality second-hand Swiss watches is apparently very rare.

Guangzhou Automatic with Day, Date, Month & 24 Hour Display Watch Review

Guangzhou Automatic with Day, Date, Month & 24 Hour Display Watch Review

Some may prefer staying away from watches with four sub-dials, as things can tend to get a bit overcrowded. But it works on this watch because of the perfect symmetry of the sub-dials combined with the minimal use of color. The complications of this watch are basically that of a calendar. So if you happen to forget, the time, the day, the date, and the month—worry not!

A Visit to Guangzhou Five Goats Watch Company & Factory

A Visit to Guangzhou Five Goats Watch Company & Factory

This week I was kindly invited over to check out Guangzhou Five Goats Watch Company, formerly Guangzhou Watch Factory. Guangzhou was one of the original eight cities where state-owned watch factories were established in 1958 (read more about the history of watchmaking in China here). Today, only a handful of those original eight factories are still producing watches, and Guangzhou is still going strong.
