Brellum Duobox Chronometer Watch Review: Example Of Good Value
Brellum is a Swiss watch brand from a Swiss guy who says he comes from generations of watch industry professionals-and it shows in pretty much all the ways seasoned watch lovers might predict. I want to first say that their debut product, the Brellum Duobox Chronometer, is a fantastic value for the money and in my opinion, an excellent example of what to look for in boutique Swiss watchmaking in modern times. Brellum takes something old and sells it in a way that contemporary consumers prefer. It combines a classic look at a price-that is quite simply-what to expect when middleman bloat is cut out.Before I speak about the Brellum Duobox watch itself, I think a discussion on context and current market relevance is very important. In my opinion that will help frame the product and brand more accurately, as well as help the right people connect with a watch that I think they could very much enjoy.
Sinn 6200 WG Meisterbund I Watch Hands-On
Sinn is a Frankfurt-based manufacturer perhaps best known for their “tool” watches; tough timepieces with typically German levels of over-engineering designed to handle whatever the wearer can throw at them. Despite this reputation, Sinn does, of course, release dress watches, such as the 1800 S?Damaszener?or their beautiful 1746 Porcelain collection.

The company's initial focus was the manufacture of cockpit clocks and aviation chronographs which were sold direct to the customer, bypassing retailers. In 1994 Helmut Sinn sold the company to Lothar Schmidt, an engineer and former employee of International Watch Company (IWC)
