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…

Cincinnati Desk Diver 1 LE
Hot Rod from a ’74 Vantage Case Man, I love watches! They can just be cool objects that delight you when you least expect it. I sort of resolved to myself, without any focused plan, to just post more often about watches that delight me without digging so deep into specs or research. Maybe I…

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…

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…

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 Allied LT
Vintage military twist on the Scout I’ve been holding back on posting about the Allied LT series. At first I was trying to get a grip on the basic Allied line up as well as the more limited Archive Allied group so didn’t want to muddle things even more. Now that the dust has settled…

Why Timex and other Miscellaneous Ramblings
What is a Cheap Watch? In the pursuit of stocking my eclectic watch collections I keep trying to categorize the watch universe and figure out where I place myself in it. Why do I collect the watches that I collect? Also, because our society is so politically charged now, I wonder where watches line up…

Timex Allied: Part 2
The Chronographs I’ve been avoiding this topic. The Timex Allied collection has had me confused. When I first tackled the topic in Part 1, I did not want to include chronographs as the three-handers were trouble enough to sort out. Since then I have analyzed the Mk 1 collection I have noticed some ways that…

Timex x J. Crew Andros
Time flies when you’re having fun & Its all in the dial It has been almost 13 years since this J. Crew-distributed watch hit the street. Following the successful launch of the J. Crew Military watch a few years earlier, the Andros brought a more nautical feel to the outfits of J. Crew customers. It…
