  1. Which Watch Would We Wear Part 1 In this blog we will give you an insight into which watches our staff would pick. Since we handle the watches on a daily basis we hope you will appreciate our experiences! Eddie – has been working for us for around a year and is in charge of our packaging department and videos. Nethuns Scuba SB500 When you don’t have the biggest of wrists, like me, it is important to keep in mind that the watch looks to be in proportion with your wrist. In my case, I can go to a maximum of 42mm in case diame...
  2. PATINA – A BRONZE ODYSSEY Part 5 PATINA – A BRONZE ODYSSEY Part 5 By Adam Clegg Swimming Pool / Chlorinated water – One of my favourites! I swim several times a week, so a few of my watches have been patinated this way. This method (if you can get in the pool a lot) gives very even patina and you can keep doing it until the watch gets to the shade you desire. Brass gains a nice dirty look, though I have had shades of greens and even reds on some watches; bronze goes a nice rich brown colour. I believe the reacting chemica...

  4. PATINA – A BRONZE ODYSSEY Part 2 PATINA – A BRONZE ODYSSEY Part 2 By Adam Clegg Case Finishes The most common case finishes we see are… Brushed. Polished. Blasted – Microscopic beads of glass (or sand) are shot through a gun with compressed air to give this finish. It is important when removing patina / cleaning the case, to remain aware that polishing will remove brushed and blasted finishes; though there are ways of cleaning without doing this, so it needn’t stop you going ahead and forcing that patina. We will touch on ...
  5. PATINA – A BRONZE ODYSSEY Part 4 PATINA – A BRONZE ODYSSEY Part 4 By Adam Clegg Household Ammonia – The fumes from Ammonia can be overpowering, so best to do this one outside somewhere. The best method I have found for Ammonia is to place a piece of cotton wool in each corner of your Tupperware container and place your freshly cleaned watch in the centre. Drop a few drops of ammonia onto each of the cotton wool pieces and quickly secure the lid. Depending on how much ammonia you used, I’d recommend checking at 10 minute i...
  6. PATINA – A BRONZE ODYSSEY Part 3 PATINA – A BRONZE ODYSSEY Part 3 By Adam Clegg Methodology Now your watch is nice and clean, you are ready to take the plunge and create your new patina. For most of the above, I would recommend using a sealable Tupperware container, as some of these products are quite pungent and you may well be asked to leave the house when working at your kitchen sink. Another reason for the sealed container is to ensure none of the fumes escape, as we want these to remain in the vicinity of the watch and ...
