The Direnzo DRZ03 Eclipse is launching February 12th 2020

I must admit after seeing the Eclipse online I chased the owner Sergio to be on the list of people to review one before the Kickstarter kicks off 12.02.2020 The reasons for chasing the early access was very simple, I loved the look of the grey black vintage eclipse, and I knew the watch would …

Refurb and service of a Tag Heuer Monaco ETA 2895

This lovely Tag Heuer Monaco WW2112 running an ETA 2895 (Tag Calibre 6) came in for a service and refurb. First thing was to photograph it and see how it was currently running An amplitude of 286 is a very good starting point, the watch is healthy and should benefit from a service. The ETA …

Disassembly images for a Valjoux 7734

I always find that images of watch movements being taken apart can be very useful points of reference for hobbyists and professionals alike The Valjoux 7733 and 7734 series of watch movements are a real favourite of mine as a good stable chronograph movement. These are very old images, but since I photograph all my …

Di Renzo Launch the DRZ_02 Watch on kickstarter – Hands On

The thing you have to love about Di Renzo is the fact they always totally nail their intention. The intention here was surely to tap into the retro futuristic design styles of the beloved 1960's, and they can tick that box off for sure. When you look at the bowled shaped dial or the side …

Breitling Heritage 46 repair and service chronograph

I always jump at the chance to service a beautiful watch, when word came through that this Breitling Heritage 46 had stopped running I immediately said I would do it without assessing it. The fact it was in America was besides the point, that's what postal services are for. *interesting point - if something is …

Servicing old movements and amplitude

I was fortunate enough recently to get my hands on some New Old Stock (NOS)  ‘A Schild’ automatic movements that I can use to build some watches. These movements were produced between 1960 and 1969 which makes them 50 years old - there is a good chance that the oils and greased may be a …
