You know that I’m Norwegian. It’s a given with that Norse god’s name that brings me nothing but embarrassment. I mean, I don’t ski, fancy glacier climbing, or even enjoy nature much either. But never mind, my dad has been living just outside London for 40 years, so I consider myself half-British by proxy. But […]

Are mods divisive? Yes, and I’m not always a fan. These featured watches, however, are mods that I adore. Done right, officially or unofficially modifying a watch is fun, even taking our horological passion a step up to wrist-worn pop art. For others, mods are a chance to acquire a watch that is one of […]

No, I’m not being ironic here. Embrace your inner child and let a cartoon watch liven up your day. It doesn’t have to be a cheeky-colored kid’s watch, either. The best cartoon watches can be discreet, and truly legit horology at that. For many people, cartoons are a blissful memory of childhood lost. Others, however, […]

It was perhaps unnecessary to start off with that proclamation, but it’s true. Bamford’s signature accents are those bright aqua blues you see on this G-Shock DW-6900BWD. This is George Bamford’s cool signature and has always been, no matter the craze for “Tiffany Blue” Rolexes and Pateks. Here, we see the fresh color popping off […]

I am seemingly on an endless quest to explore the strap options available for my Omega Seamaster 300. Admittedly, Omega limits the out-of-the-box choices for the new model. You have the stainless-steel bracelet — which is the one to go for — or the leather strap. And that’s it. At least for the previous models, […]

I don’t know about you, but I feel like 2022 is turning into the year of collaborations. Months of internal turmoil and potential instability left many brands leaning on contemporaries for reassurance. Many manufacturers ended up showing surprising resilience and, in some cases, exponential growth. Yet, the blossoming partnerships ensured future joint projects. One such […]

It’s been a little under a year since Dave wrote about the Bamford × Revolution GMT “Joe Cool” Limited Edition. In the article, Dave made the great claim that we need more fun watches! I wholeheartedly agree with that statement. After all the exquisite horological madness and serious discussions about the latest introduction at Watches […]

I will happily stand up and admit to being a snob. A bonafide watch snob, spitting out the word “quartz” with disdain or a quiet whisper. Even if, that is, my love of watches started through fashion watches, with Emporio Armani and Guess in an unholy mix with mechanical vintage. If you read my Seiko […]

It’s an odd thing to be writing about racing chronographs when I cannot yet legally drive. That said, it’s been an odd few years, so pretty much anything goes these days. And I am more than capable of discussing these two fine watches today. I think that my two competitors are both excellent choices, fitting […]
