Autumn is well and truly here. There’s no denying it. We’ve all noticed the nights drawing in and the temperatures dropping (well, all of us in the Northern Hemisphere have, at least). I don’t know about you, but I’ve even started putting the heating on here and there. The days of summer are gone, but […]

I’ve been quite a fan of Echo/Neutra ever since the brand launched on Kickstarter in 2019. It seems a lot longer ago than just three years, given the strides the brand has made since then. The product lineup expanded at a healthy pace, and now we have the option of the original Averau (time and […]

Not every story into watch collecting starts with a fortuitous inheritance of a beautiful vintage Omega or stumbling across an all-original Rolex Submariner 6538 at a yard sale. While there are some lucky people out there who stumbled into watch collecting quite high up the ladder, my story started a little more innocuously. I started […]

Let me start by stating the obvious: it’s always exciting to add a new watch to the collection. Regardless of the price, scratching that proverbial “itch” is satisfying. It’s even more exciting when you get a new watch with a feature you’ve wanted to have for a while. In this particular case, I am referring […]

Do you know what the world needs more of, besides love? It needs more moonphase watches in it. Truth be told, it needs a lot more. Fewer modern watch brands attempt pulling off this complication than you would think. Fewer still do it in a way that feels fresh and modern. A lot of us […]

How many chronograph nuts do we have in the house tonight? Judging by our loyal following of Speedmaster fans, I’d venture to guess quite a few. But whether you love you some sub-dials or just prefer a nice three-hander, we all know what a chronograph’s main job is: to record elapsed times. When you think […]

In a time where so many of us would happily consider blowing the whole budget on a single watch, this challenge will be a tricky one. RJ posed the question to the entire team on a team call last month. It was a very strict hypothetical challenge, but the rules were simple: we had a […]

You know me by now. I’m a fiery character. I’d love to say it’s in my blood, but my folks hail from Norwich — hardly a town known for its hellraisers. Somewhere along the way, an unnaturally large cachet of passion developed within me. This passion frequently escapes in the form of wild rants either […]

As seen from the comments and engagement from some of our recent micro and independent brand articles, we have a portion of the Fratelli who are very interested in the indie community. Indeed it’s one that I have followed for a long time and been an active part of. As such, I decided it’d be […]

Recently, I spoke of my admiration for Forstner bracelets. My newfound love for flipping my watches from one band to another on the regular goes beyond a single brand, though.
