NWA - Charm City Charmer
I’ve been waiting for the launch of this one for a while, it’s the Natty Boh Moon. A true Baltimore Maryland themed watch from Alan Tsao at the Baltimore Watch Company. This quartz Moonphase has a purple sunburst dial with an orange moonphase insert, Baltimore sports teams colors, for those ‘in the know’. The moon is the Natty Boh guy, mascot of a brand that was once ‘brewed on the shores of the Chesapeake Bay”. The stars on the moon dial are little crabs, and yes, they all glow with lume. The case is a ‘beer can’ with the ingredients replaced with the watch specs and an instruction that stays “Do not attempt to consume . . . the watch will stop working”.
OK, maybe it’s mostly the Marylander in me, but I love the fun and style of this. It also comes in all orange, white/orange (go Birds) or black. They’ve just about sold out at launch, but I still thought it would be a fun post for you all. I’ll post more when I can get some better shots.
Good evening, from ‘the Land of Pleasant Living’
Always interested in variety, but must be useful
Cool watch, it was fun seeing them at District Time.
They look cool but I just can't bring myself to spend $350 on a quartz movement.

I hear you, but local charm is a big tug for me.

You owe it to Mr. Boh. I live in Virginia and I want one.

Not huge on quartz. I prefer mechanical and automatic timepieces unless I'm buying something that is nostalgic to me. Just not my thing I guess. I own 2 quartz watches. One was a present from my Mom it's a Croton I never waer (I used to wear it like 20 years ago) and the other is a Casio World Time I have I put Vario strap on it and it's my watch I wear to work. I'm a Custodian so I'm around Chemicals a lot and I wear that instead of my more expensive watches. There are 2 other quartz watches I always wanted. One is the Seiko Arnie from Predator and the other is the Casio Calculator from Back to The Future.
Great looking watch !! Almost pulled trigger on this one. TSAO makes some good really looking watches.
Very cool!!
Are the 5 minute marks on the track orange? And finally a maker that knows how to prominently display specs.

Yes, they are orange and the storage can has modified logos from the beer company as well as the specs as an ingredient list.
