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…

Marine Star Glory Days Part 5
Some more great finds It’s been a strange summer so far. Non-watch projects have kept me away from writing about watches. I have been reading a lot about watches, as usual, but trying to buy fewer watches and even trying to sell a few! That has been harder than expected..I continue to work with my…

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…

Nixon Scout & Friends
Can Watch Enthusiasts discuss Lifestyle Watches? With all the watch watching, researching, shopping I have done over the past ten years, I have still managed to miss Nixon. All of a sudden I saw a Nixon I liked, then was off on a tangent. I was never a skateboarder, a snowboarder or a surfer, but…

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…

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…
