Wenger, Hamilton, L.L. Bean, Boeing Mashup
Just good ol’ watch stuff This kind of came out of nowhere. I was in the process of rescuing some estate sale and antique mall finds, and getting straps, when I decided I needed to do some watch writing. This will be a weird combination of characters, but talking about each of them had to…

Vaer D5 and D4
Devolution of the Vaer Diver Family I wasn’t planning on writing about Vaer watches, really. I had other things on my mind, but I just stumbled into a Vaer rabbit hole recently. I have been watching Vaer’s development on the back burner for several years but never took the plunge to learn more. What I…

MVMT X Nigel Cabourn Diver LE
Unlikely Collaboration? I did it because of Nigel. A few hours ago I knew really nothing about MVMT or its watches. Did those two guys do a tv commercial a few years ago? I use no social media apps except for Pinterest, maybe? I don’t have any social media apps on my phone. I had…

Three Citizens
Passion and Pragmatism How do I write about one of the biggest watch makers in the world? Citizen can mean a lot of different things to different people. They offer so many types of watches it is hard to look at the whole. I guess I will just write about the sliver of the brand…

Rubber Strap Study
Reflections on finding that just right match I expected to move on to other things besides my new Timex Deepwater Reef, but it presents an opportunity to talk about one of my favorite things; watch straps. Like many of you, I have more straps than I do watches. If you want to do different things…

Timex Deepwater Reef 200 Hands On
That didn’t take long No sooner had I finished my first draft post on the Reef 41mm diver, when I went and ordered two. I suppose that was a good idea since Timex was out of stock in less than a week on all styles. It was a bit compulsive for me, but I really…

Timex Deepwater Reef 200
Timex enters the Diver fray, as only Timex can I’m jumping right on this. Normally I write about watches I have discovered years after they were released. For this new Timex release I just stumbled onto this morning, I had to get out a lot of built-up contemplation. I never really wanted to write watch…

Timex Archive Acadia
The Plastic Case Alternative Time to get writing again as well as back on the topic of Timex. Its been a busy summer, particularly August, so I have not been starting enough new posts! I have been thinking a lot about Timex watches recently as you might have noticed in my last post, but also…

30 Years of Eddie Bauer Watches, Part 1
The Wild World of Retail Branded Watches Here I go again. I’m about to relate to you my collecting experiences with a body of watches that I feel somewhat uncomfortable discussing. I really like the watches, but I feel like I don’t have a firm grasp of the subject matter I want to tackle. I’m…

Redux Valor Offset Model 11D
Post COVID Perils of a Micro Brand : Mission Accomplished This post will be a break from my normal, in a way. It is more about a spec/tool watch than a fashion watch. But, a tool watch can be part of a dress code, too. It will also be about how watches are made and…
