Everyone else is. Or was. I understand… it was a bit of a shock when they seemingly rebranded, relaunched, and reset, but there was always something (to me) under the surface that was not quite clicking. Be it before, during, or after, I have always found Bremont to be a little bit of an oddball.… Continue reading I suppose we have to talk about Bremont…

The Unbearable Lightness of Buying–or Remembrance of (Bought) Things Past
This is the Fossil Belmar three-hand date black stainless steel watch. It's the very first watch I ever bought, believe it or not, at the not-so-tender age of 42.

Watch Fashion for the Unfashionable Man (Pt. 1)
If you were to meet me the first thought that would occur to you would not be “oh, what a fashionable man.” It would probably be, “oh, he likes sweets, perhaps too much.” So, why do I have to the right to opine concerning men’s fashion? Well, to be fair I am limiting my scope… Continue reading Watch Fashion for the Unfashionable Man (Pt. 1)
