The family watch

I was gifted a 1998 Seamaster back in 2000, which turned my interest in watches into a slight obsession. Various versions of the SMP adorn the wrists...

When you're tired of the blingy integrated bracelet watches

Autodromo Night Stage IV with a (very) deep blue dial and orange hands/markers. This one captures (most of) my DeLorean dreams. 🙂 It wears like a dre...

A pair of space-age reissues

If you're not having fun with high-accuracy quartz, you're missing out! These space-age buddies get a lot of wrist time. The Lunar Pilot Meteor only c...

Doesn't look like the finish of either bracelet matches the watch very well. I'd throw a NATO on that beauty and call it good. 🙂

Here are my regular red and my Matrix green.

I disagree that the PSR is priced too high. I also have less expensive LED watches from Bulova and Yema, for example, and once you have the PSR in hand, you'll see that it's a quality watch. The dual-tech display looks amazing (with the green quite a bit brighter than the red), the sapphire crystal is cut in a really interesting way with fantastic-looking bevel that plays with the light. The bracelet is wonderful at the price point; very similar to how the Speedy 3861 bracelet wears and feels (i.e., liquid). Finally, the accuracy beats the cheaper LED brands by a lot.

I'll likely add the green/steel version as well at some point, as I prefer the non-DLC look of my red, but the green display on my Matrix. 🙂

Adding a couple more high-end options. The PF is on my grail list.

commented on When Do Microbrands Stop Being Micro and Just Become Brands? ·

If you're a couple dudes in a loft with an exposed brick wall designing watches but you've never touched a mainplate, you're a microbrand.

commented on Your Fav Microbrand? ·

Nodus and Autodromo have impressed me with build quality and uniqueness. I like it when micros create watches that you couldn't find more expensive versions of even if you wanted to. Well-executed originality, I suppose.

A limited edition Twelve advanced enough to nearly rival the Bel Canto.

That's the best I can piece together from CW's recent Loupe email, the helmet photo, the ice photo and parameter names in the URLs of their campaign emails.

Looking forward to Tuesday!

My take on the (highly likely) Swatch x Blancpain collab

Swatch needed Omega and the MoonSwatch was born. After that huge success, Swatch is now in mainstream consciousness (again). Now, Blancpain needs Swat...
