Ticking Tales was born out of my passion for watches. And since not everyone wants to listen to me talk about watches all day long, I decided to reach out to those who share this interest. And so the Ticking Tales project was born: a place where I talk about watches, publish reviews and create a community of enthusiasts to share their own experiences.
What makes us special is our independence. We have nothing to sell except our charisma and our watch stories. This freedom gives us a power rarely seen in the industry: the freedom to tell it like it is.
If a watch impresses us, we will praise it without reservation. If we don’t like it, we say so openly, without holding back.
That’s why we have a transparent review policy: no manufacturer, dealer or other industry entity influences what we say, how or when we say it. Our reviews reflect only our genuine opinions, because accurate watch information is essential to Ticking Tales.

My passion for watches began around the age of 6 when I first saw a watch that seemed magical to me. It had 7 melodies, an alarm, a stopwatch, and would beep every hour. Truly advanced technology for me at the time! It belonged to my brother, but before long, he gave it to me.
One of the melodies was “Oh! Susanna” by Stephen Foster, but unfortunately, I no longer remember the other six.
If I had to guess, I’d say it was a Casio, as they popularized melody watches. However, the truth is I don’t remember exactly. It certainly wasn’t a Casio—most likely a cheap Chinese knockoff—but it was fascinating for a kid like me.
That watch is no longer part of my life—just like many other watches that have been lost over time, without me even realizing when or how.
As I write these lines, a photo from my first grade comes to mind. In it, I’m wearing a watch that’s clearly visible. Still, I don’t think it’s the melody watch I remember.
On the watch in the photo, I had stuck two flags cut out from an atlas. Besides my passion for watches, I also had a fascination with maps. What can I say? Childhood quirks and passions of a kid who grew up without the internet—because it didn’t exist!
Otherwise, I’ve always been told I have a talent for writing, probably because I’m not good at math at all.
Alex is passionate about photography and watches, with a sharp eye for detail and design. He enjoys capturing moments through the lens and appreciating the craftsmanship behind fine timepieces.
