Timex Atelier Marine 1a
Intriguing upscale move. Why? Watches can be funny things. We love to discuss them. Its almost as if they exist more for the enthusiast community to talk about than to wear! One can look at a watch from so many different perspectives. Sometimes its technical, sometimes historical; could be emotional or the design details. We…

One Watch Collection?
How many watches is enough? I read an article by Zach Kazan on Worn & Wound, The Tudor Black Bay and the Myth of the One Watch Collection, October 9, 2025. In it he talked about the concept of having to choose just one of your watches if you could keep only one. It got…

Timex Deepwater Meridian
More 200m Divers Into the Mix I was surprised to see a new diver added to Timex’s broad offerings so soon after the release of the Deepwater Reefs. Before I could even get used to the 41mm Reef line, I was befuddled by the Meridian models. They are like an upgraded Tiburón? I hadn’t even…

Timex M79(s)
When a 38mm Q Reissue is not enough I couldn’t resist. Writing my last post got me thinking more about the 2019 Q reissue and its follow-on releases. Wow, what a lot to talk about! Starting in 2019, with pre-Covid fanfare, Timex began on a long journey of 38mm Q quartz releases in God-knows-how many…

A Chunk of Timex History Regarding Diver Themes What an odd and slightly academic title? It just came out. For years I have been thinking about and collecting various Timex models that are related to the concept of a Dive Watch. One of my favorite categories of watches is the the Dive Watch category. I…

Timex American Documents MadeWorn Collab
A Very Different American Documents Watch It is time to get back to one of my favorite topics: Timex. I am always wearing something from my Timex collection and thinking about Timex and trying to follow new releases. One thing I am not doing is acquiring as many Timex watches, either new or preowned. I…

Seiko 5 Sample
Taking the Plunge (and hike) with Old and New I was writing more than one post at a time. Sometimes I start a post topic and get side tracked. Or research for one delays things, so I start another. I started reading about the Seiko 5 lines, both old and new, recently. As I read…

Timex xBespoke Post Viscount
Retro Reinterpretation Fun I have so many things to write about but have been doing everything but! So, I’m just going to start typing. This post is about another watch I never expected to see. A reinterpretation of the late ’70s to early 80’s Viscount. It has been a favorite of mine with its military-style…
