Watch Review: Maen Skymaster 38 Chronograph
After the success of its vintage-inspired, diver's-style Hudson, Maen Watches - founded by two Dutchmen but based in Stockholm - looked for inspiration in another popular heritage concept: the automatic sports chronograph popularized in the late 1960s. Where the Hudson drew the majority of its DNA from the Rolex 6538, the new Skymaster 38 from Maen is a loving ode to pilot's and sports chronographs from the golden age of watches, like the Daytona and El Primero. But I'd say that the Skymaster, like the Hudson I reviewed almost two years ago, manages to keep just enough of its own identity to stand on its own four lugs.Maen's Skymaster also represents a significant jump in terms of price point for the brand.

Dwiss Emme Watch
Initially available for the Brazilian market, this “Emme” watch is from new brand Dwiss. Silly names I know, but it is a potentially inexpensive way to get a mechanical watch that pretty well resembles what a lot of people like in an Hublot or Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.The Emme collection is made up of a few colors and dials styles for a range of looks that aren’t half bad. What I don’t like however is that open date window – and Dwiss already knows that. The cases are 43mm wide and are made from 9 pieces with a lot screws. Those “side claws” appear to be loosely reminiscent of those on the Omega Constellation models. The cases are water resistant to 100 meters. The dials themselves are modern and sport. They aren’t triumphs of uniqueness, but they are legible and not boring. Over the dials are sapphire crystals.
