I propose that we as watch enthusiasts have a duty of care to each other.

Watch enthusiasm can be quite a lonely thing. We're misunderstood and we love these marvellous machines a little too much. We agonise over the tiniest details that 99% of the world simply would not notice from an inch away, let alone normal sane distances. And when we get too deep and overthink, it's probably a good idea to warn each other. Just for our own sanity.......

Be warned!

19mm lug widths - unforgivable!

Skeleton dials

Poor legibility

Prominent helium escape valves

F**k You watches

Do you own a f**k you watch? These are the watches that go against the narrative. They prick the bubble of delusion and poke a finger in the eye of el...
