Vegas. Watch Capital of the World. Sorry Geneva.

Okay, I’m sorta kidding… but kinda not. Vegas is where my watch obsession really began. Every brand is represented here with some of the best boutiques in the world. I actually bought my first luxury piece, a Panerai, from the boutique at Caesars. When…

Original Grain Wood Watch

When the sun is shining, I love wearing this watch. My wife got it for me for my birthday and it’s a joy to wear. Funny thing, it’s by far the lowest cost watch I own and one that sparks the most conversation. And for being $350, it’s finishing is pret…

Panerai and a Pontoon

Here in Seattle, the 4th means hopping on our boats, cruising Lake Union, and prepping for the fireworks show. It was time to fire up the power pontoon and dust off the Mercury.
Being Italian, I feel like it’s my duty to rock a Panerai on the water. Af…

Class Combo. His Glashutte and Her Cartier!

The watch hobby can be a lonely one—so it’s always a treat when you have people to share it with. And it’s even better when your significant other gets into it, too. My wife has patiently listened to me go on (and on) about how Omega was the first watc…

Bel Canto vs. C12 Loco

I LOVE both these watches. But I only have room for one CW in my collection. I’m eyeing the C12 Loco in orange and the Bel Canto C1 Classic in Argentine (grey).

To me, both pieces are awesome and having their pluses and minuses.

In my collection, I h…

IWC in its natural habitat….inside a race car!

Took the IWC Lake Tahoe out for its first proper spin in the GT4 RS yesterday. Seattle actually gave us some sun, so I took full advantage.
I’m really having a hard time taking this thing off. It shouldn’t work—it’s oversized, it’s just black and white…

Her First Mechanical Watch!

My wife turned 40 yesterday, and it was finally time to upgrade her from the Apple Watch to a proper timepiece. Granted, she’s been rocking a John Mayer G-Shock, which is undeniably cool—but this milestone called for something special.
About a month ag…

[T]Rump Watch Debacle

This is maybe one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. You need to watch the local news clip that is in this linked story.

Ming story short, these people were more ashamed and upset that the “T” was missing on the dial, as opposed to paying $650 fo…

Serendipity meets YOLO. First IWC!

After selling my Tag Heuer Grand Carrera and Doxa Sub 200, the empty slots in my winder were just sitting there… mocking me. My goal’s always been to build a collection of mid-tier luxury bangers—each with different complications and a little personali…

Took Snoopy for a rocket ride 🚀🏎️💨

I hear Snoopy likes to go to the moon. I helped him out and took him for a ride in my rocket ship on track day. And yeah, the chronometer and tachymeter were definitely used in place of digital devices to track distance traveled and lap times…[insert s…
