I’ve been keeping my eye on this Dutch brand for some time now. I didn’t had the time to delve in to it until a short while ago. “Fromanteel” from Amsterdam. A watch brand from my home town. My first encounter with Fromanteel was about 3 years ago while walking around in “De Bijenkorf” Amsterdam, …
Some of you know that I’ve been incredibly busy for the last year constructing my new house. Well, I haven’t built the house myself, but I’ve had to think about everything that I wanted in my new house. Where do you put the couch? Where do we want the kitchen, the bed etc etc. But …

..Today I’m going to compare to watches that are actually not comparable. Nevertheless, I’ll try to do so. Most of you know that I have an addiction. WATCHES! Yes, here we go again. I wrote so much about this before but I do it because I like to do it and today’s candidates are the: …
