Earlier this week, I sent a video to a teacher at my school via Instagram. It was a short video with the text "Today we will spell our names backwards.' Kid named woc denroh eno:" and a video of a one-horned cow. Very random and strange, but that's on-brand for my sense of humour. She… Continue reading One-horned cows.
What a difference a year makes. Last year at about this time I tried a murder case and extolled the merits of wearing gold watches throughout. I was exceeding confident going into that trial. This week I had another murder trial in another local county, and I felt only dread going into it. I did… Continue reading City Mouse takes an “L”
I really have a lot of work to do. I am going to have a rough week wearing gold watches, gray suits, and buttoning the top button of my dress shirts. I have preparation to do to make the show a good one. But of course, I had a better idea: hate watch all six… Continue reading Ancient A-watchalypse
“Invicta causes anthropomorphic climate change and that’s why I wear an eighty-year-old Gruen.” No, that’s not what Sherwin said, and perhaps that is an unfair characterization of his point, but it gets at the general premise. More charitably, “wasteful spending on watches is harmful to our environment”, may be closer to his argument. “Wasteful spending”… Continue reading Sherwin Agonistes
I'm not, by any stretch of the imagination, a tree-hugger. But I'm not a climate change denier either. I have little to no respect for people who don't think climate change exists. I look at them the same way I look at flat-earthers. Sure, they can be nice people but I would be afraid to… Continue reading Tragically–Unsustainable and Selfish
Friday saw the beginning of the end of my high-school career. It's funny how, for ten months now, I have been expecting and looking forward to this moment. I am still a high-schooler until November 25th; thereafter, I am changing my name, address and frankly anything else tying me to the last eighteen years of… Continue reading Amidst ink and blood
Don't give away time, you may never get it back. I can't help but think about this statement today. I just came back from a wake where I spent an entire day lamenting death. There was a death in the family and I am thoughtful. The wife of my step-uncle passed away on Tuesday night.… Continue reading Memento Mori
For the first time ever, I think, I have been blown away with a new watch release. In an earlier post, I almost vowed to never buy a new watch again. This watch would make me look right proper stupid, if it wasn't for one thing. This is a step in the right direction for… Continue reading Ryan follows the herd and talks about a new watch release: Tissot Stylist
Sherwin: What watch-related trend, brand, and/or hype that you hate? And if you were forced to, how would you defend it?" Chris: I’m not sure this is something I could deliver. I find most watch content contrived, and appreciate the irony considering that I do bother to talk shop. I have nothing but disdain for… Continue reading Round Table No. 15 – defending the indefensible, and Chris starts an argument in an empty room…
I played another blinder. Well… I didn’t, a prolific watch consumer on the WatchCrunch platform did, and put many of us onto these. The brand was having a blowout, and the £400 RRP diver from UK-based brand Vaymont was being sold-off at cost via eBay. I bought mine for under £200. Similar to the Matterhorn… Continue reading Talking loud, not saying much (Vaymont Ti Diver review)
