He is an avid watch collector, fundraiser and highly involved and respected law student (master program), soon to be a Lawyer. In his limited spare time, Mark?hosts watch events in Copenhagen as well as teaching and mentoring criminal law students. It was a joy sitting down with him to find out how he first got into watches, what it was about Patek Philippe that attracted him and why he now wears a Patek Philippe 5960P (yes, the chronograph annual calendar in a quite rare edition) on his wrist.Patek Philippe watches are part of the ”Holy Trinity” of watchmakers (Patek Philippe, Audemars-Piguet and Vacheron-Constantin) and for good reasons.

2021 Yema Superman Heritage GMT Pepsi and Grey-Blue Hands-On
Yema is arguably one of the best-known French watchmakers with a rich history. Younger French brands such as Baltic have been getting a lot of attention lately, but Yema dates back to 1948 with several historic watches. The Superman model is its crown jewel, which debuted in 1963 and became a favourite of French Air Force pilots and professional divers. It came standard with a 300-metre water-resistance rating and unique bezel-lock mechanism. Yema draws from the past with two new Superman Heritage GMT dive watches, one with an always popular Pepsi (blue and red) bezel, and one with a more toned-down grey/blue colour scheme. Let’s have a closer look at these two new editions.The Yema SUPERMANBased in the town of Morteau, France, Yema has definitely left its mark in a crowded industry.

Reinstating the Big Crown Pointer Date as a full collection in 2018 meant we've seen multiple variants of this interesting, very retro-styled watch. In recent years Oris has also been experimenting with the use of bronze, first seen on a Carl Brashear limited edition in 2016 but since then expanding to other collections as well. The Big Crown Pointer Date followed suit and is now updated with a quartet of full bronze models (including the bracelet), simply known as the Oris Big Crown Pointer Date Bronze.The Big Crown Pointer Date is a classic in the industry, even though it is a relatively simple watch at that. It just strikes a chord with its oversized crown, fluted bezel and red-tipped, crescent-shaped hand to indicate the date. The design is distinctly vintage, and even today the
