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…

Timex Diver and Dive-Like Survey Part 1: 1966-1990
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…

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…

Timex Mk1 40mm Auto
The Mk1s are back after five years When I saw the email from Timex about the release of some new Mk1s, I was on it. You see, I have a soft spot for all things Mk1. The Mk1 line was a lot of things; a military watch, a fashion watch, a people’s watch. It sort…

Timex 36mm Mk1(s)
When is a Camper a Mk1? I’m glad to be writing about Timex again. I’m especially glad to be writing about new Mk1s, some of my favorite Timex watches. I woke up to look at my emails and saw one from Timex announcing the new Mk1s. The image before me was the one above of…

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…

Another Year of Watches
2024 was a year of changes in my collecting What a strange year it has been? A year I hoped would be a steady, leveling period to get caught up on many things in my life ended up getting a little Topsy-turvey. I procured fewer watches, which is good, but then the ones I did…

Timex Allied Coastline
A Crossover in the Archive Era It took a while for the Allied Coastline (AC) to grow on me. At first contact is seemed strange. I was mostly interested in 38mm and 40mm Timex lines and the Coastline was 43mm and I was having trouble seeing where it fit in with the Mk1s, Allieds and…

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…
