/1 Comment/in , /by

If there is one thing Martin Green likes, it is a well-designed diamond-set watch.

Why I Bought It: The Corum Bubble Vintage

/15 Comments/in , /by

I have a fairly narrow frame of reference when it comes to buying watches for myself: my taste runs to independents, in-house movements, and superlative hand-finishing. So why on earth am I sitting here typing about the Corum Bubble, which is from a big (for me) brand and outfitted with an ETA 2892 movement with an industrial finish? Well, this is why I bought it.
