Sometimes I feel like I’ve taken the unorthodox route to watch collecting and discovery. Most budding enthusiast tend to enter the hobby with a brand like Seiko, and eventually if circumstances allow, exit or self refine themselves to brands like Rolex, Patek, and Audemars Piguet. While I dabbled somewhat with some affordable brands like Hamilton […]
2 Week Analysis: The Hublot Classic Fusion Essential Grey
Hublot carries along with it, let’s say, an interesting stigma within the watch collecting community.

Decompressing with the Updated 1961 Rainbow Diver from Mido
Mido has great timing with the release of their limited or special edition runs of the 1961 Decompression Timer.

It simply comes down to nostalgia and funky design language that our modern up to date watch offerings […]
