The Swatch x Omega MoonSwatch... The Audemars Piguet Black Panther & Spiderman The JLC Batman Reverso... What do all of the watches above (and similar) have in common? They are all accused of dragging down or tainting the reputations of the respective brands. I happen agree with that statement, but not in the way you… Continue reading One Direction?

“Bond, J—” Oh piss off
I can endure no more. Today, I buckled. James Bond is one of the most iconic characters in pop-culture. There's plenty reason to love him. He dresses well, he's nonchalant, yet charismatic, and he exudes effortless cool on the silver screen... or so I am told. That's because I've never watched a single Bond film… Continue reading “Bond, J—” Oh piss off
The Best Valentine’s Gifts for a Watch-Lover (The Valentine’s Special 2025)
2025 marks either the true genesis of my "lover-boy" phase, or will be the catalyst for extreme promiscuity and deep sadness. Last year, I spoke of oversized sweater watch straps for ladies and lace underwear and handcuffs and some other twaddle. This year, I'll actually try and present serious ideas and see how long it… Continue reading The Best Valentine’s Gifts for a Watch-Lover (The Valentine’s Special 2025)
Confined Within The Escapement Room…
I've been pulled into The Escapement Room! Is it flagellation for buying an Omega because of the Bond marketing? Maybe it's payback for wearing my watch into the shower? Either way, I'm trapped in The Escapement Room. How about some background on me? I like Piña coladas, and every so often I get caught in… Continue reading Confined Within The Escapement Room…
Hidden gems that we can’t wear.
As I'm sure many have noticed, I've been on a bit of a ladies' watch arc lately. Many happened to find their way to me and I am one who almost never refuses an afternoon tinkering. I love vintage ladies' watches, yet few others do. Why? Many vintage ladies watches are cocktail watches. This was… Continue reading Hidden gems that we can’t wear.
New Year, Same Old Mistakes
I was hit by a wave of motivation on January 1st. Naturally, this came after the regret of only sleeping at 06:00 dissipated and after I managed to get my car keys out of my locked car. I've always been cynical of the whole "New Year, New Me" idea. Never have I seen it last… Continue reading New Year, Same Old Mistakes
“Wait, he writes about watches?” My best out-of-pocket quotes of 2024
I'm no stranger to using weird figures of speech to get my point across. I guess it comes from watching too much Jeremy Clarkson on television when I was a little boy. Sometimes I surprise myself at the things I'd write simply because I don't know a better way of expressing my point. So, here… Continue reading “Wait, he writes about watches?” My best out-of-pocket quotes of 2024
I’ve Been Locked In!
I was lured with the promises of fame & fortune (😉) and no sooner did I arrive and sign my paperwork, than the gates closed behind me and I finally noticed no handles on the insides of the entryways. No matter. I belong here... I think. For now, all that matters is that Admin believes… Continue reading I’ve Been Locked In!
On the workbench part six: Granny’s Delfin
Friday, September 20th, 2024, I knocked off of school at a few minutes past eleven o'clock. I greeted everyone with smiles as I lugged my books to the car. It was over. The last semblance of normal school died a few days ago; from then on, it was just over three weeks until final exams,… Continue reading On the workbench part six: Granny’s Delfin
New nicknames for watches
Watch enthusiasts, mainly those who smell of eau de coronet, tend to give watches nicknames. These are sometimes as simple as a snappier, more fun ways of saying a model name, like "Speedy" for "Speedmaster." Other times, these nicknames get a bit wacky. Nothing repels a woman more than men having stupid nicknames for their… Continue reading New nicknames for watches
