While it's true many of the Traska designs are classicly derivative (3 hander, divers, field watch, etc) the cool thing about the GMT is it takes those OP style Aesthetics and puts it in a GMT form coupled with a compressor style internal bezel that results in a combination that doesn't resemble any other existing GMT on the market

commented on Do we really need lume? ·

How is your lume supposed to be working when it's been sitting in the dark while you were sleeping? Wouldn't you have to turn on a light source just to charge it up?

commented on In Search of a GMT ·

A great examples of how numbers only tell half the picture and how the watch actually wears on the wrist is needed to complete that picture

commented on In Search of a GMT ·

Both are great GMTs....in their respective and completely separate price points. It basically boils down to wether you want to spend in one price segment versus the other, and which style you particularly like more.

Aside from that both GMTs will basically function the same and Garner similar respect and appreciation from fellow watch enthusiasts. So totally up to you, I own the Traska and love it, but the Zulu Time GMT is another piece I would consider if I didn't already own two Grand Seiko GMTs in the $5-6K range already

commented on Is the emotional connection to watches real? ·

If you distill it down to the basic science of it all: all emotional connections are chemical responses and set neural pathways in the brain.

Aside from that, they're as real or not real, as you want them to be. Our assignment of meaning to people and things are largely chemical as well.

If you want the watches you own have some special meaning and connection in your personal life, and story, great, do it.

If you want your watches to just be shiny things you enjoy, wear and nothing more, that's ok too

commented on Teddy’s Kevin O’Leary problem ·

I don't think so, Kevin O Leary isn't so integrally tied to Teddy's brand identity that its going to affect his standing among the watch community in the long run.
