Watch Experts Network: ‘DuBois et Fils DBF003-07 – in-depth watch review by ESCAPEMENT’
A significant dateAngus Davies provides a ��hands-on' review of the new DuBois et fils DBF003-07. This watch features a big date complication with a visually striking bottle green dial.Throughout history, dates have been used to label momentous events. My parents and their peers would remark, Where were you when Kennedy was shot? . The assassination of JFK, John Fitzgerald Kennedy, on the 22nd November 1963 was of huge historical significance and the date became etched on the minds of a generation.The importance of two digits which denote a date should never be overlooked. A forgotten birthday can be a source of much upset. Many men have been on the wrong end of a tongue-lashing for absentmindedly forgetting an anniversary.One or two numerals can mean so much. Sometimes a small aperture at 3 o'clock employing a sole disc seems inadequate when it comes to conveying the importance of a date. A big date, which is technically more complex, bestows more gravitas than the typical indication

Christopher Ward C5 Malvern Automatic MKII
The Christopher Ward C5 Malvern Automatic MKII is a contemporary take on a classic dress watch that mixes together a lot of remarkable components at an even more remarkable price. The MKII is a follow up to, you guessed it, the MKI, which was one of C Ward's first watches, and one of the first watches on the market to have achieved "such sublime quality being made available at such an accessible price." The MKII takes much of the aesthetic of the original, puts it in a case that is 1mm wider, and simplifies the dial a bit. The watch features a veritable laundry list of great components such as a sapphire crystal, a decorated Swiss Made Selitta SW200-1 movement, a display case back, nice finishing and trust worthy build quality for the very tolerable price of $365?415 550.Based on the components alone, you are clearly getting a great value. The fact that the C Ward brand has proven over and over again (to us) to make high quality pieces and offer really great customer support in their C

Since then, they have ranked among the manufacture’s most popular Grand Complication wristwatches. They unite two degrees of difficulty that require many manual steps, mastered to the required degree of p
