Just another human that made the bad decision to get into this amazing hobby! Follow me on my journey of continuous bad life decisions.
Oooo when will that Astor & Banks release?
Great pics! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome picture thanks for sharing. Watches look good and a lot of brands made it out.

The dual crown or the Fortitude?
Love it! Thanks for sharing pics. Can’t wait till they come to nyc!!!
Great pics! Thanks for sharing.
My pleasure!
The dual crown or the Fortitude?
The dual crown, hope I didn’t miss that. Would buy it in second.
Thanks for sharing looks amazing, your wrist must ache after trying on all those beautiful pieces 😂
Thanks for sharing! I made it last year, but skipped this one. If they do it again in Chicago — I’ll be there next year 🙂.
Thanks for the post. Second best to being there.
This is super cool, some amazing looking watches 👍🏼
Thanks for keeping us updated and for all of the pictures!
Epic post
Nicely Done!! Thank you for posting!!
The dual crown, hope I didn’t miss that. Would buy it in second.
Unfortunately I didnt ask that question specifically about the dual crown but they were not available at Windup. The fortitude lite was available for purchase but not the dual crown.
Super comprehensive! Thanks for taking the time to post this. 🍻
My pleasure! Happy to do it!
You got around 😂 Fantastic pictures, thank you. That one was my favorite (pointing at nearly all)
Thank you! All of them are great pieces! 😁
Thanks for sharing the photos...looks like it was a blast!
I can never go to those kind of shows as I would end up having to buy several more watchboxes as I doubt I would be able to control myself.
I'd be like...
It was so hard to control my wallet! 🤣
Can’t wait for the New York show later this year. I’ll be visiting family that week. It was perfect timing.
Thanks for sharing! Those anOrdain pieces look amazing! Were they for sale or just for display? I’ve been waiting to get on the waitlist to buy a Model 1 Fumé 😅

All their watches were display or not for sale models. I asked them how long the wait list goes till and he said 2027…
How heavy did that Lorier Hydra feel?
Man. Idk where farer came from but they’re new to me and loving their designs. Underdog too.
Dang you really took a ton of pics!! I was there too that day!

Farer has some of the best pieces but, they didnt have any stock at the show… If they did, i think they would have been cleaned out!
Thanks for sharing! I'll never be able attend one of these (unless they come to Vancouver, which I don't see happening), so which one did you come closest to buying? which one would you buy in a split second if it was for sale? 😀 Was the Musou black as black as a hole, or not quite as impressive as that. If they do a version with some kind of hour markers I might get one.

I believe they told me sometime in the fall when I talked to them at the show. An exact date was not mentioned.

I actually bought a Baltic Bicompax 002 silver dial!
The one watch id buy in a split aecond if it was for sale would the the Anordain flume dial. That watch was so gorgeous in person!!!
The Musou black wasnt as black as i thought it would be but, I think that was because of the crystal wasnt fully anti reflective.
Love the look of Studio Underdog Pumpkin watch
