This just in! Celeste Koi Enamel

So I actually got this a week ago, but due to my schedule I hadn’t really had a chance to wear this. Anyhoo, I got interested in this after seeing a picture of it. There are two of the same watches, one with a lighter blue and one with a darker blue (mine). I reached out to Celeste and decided to get this.

So . . . case, strap. All good. Usual Celeste here. Solid, but nothing crazy. Quartz. Stainless steel. Does the job. We’re not going to get a tantalum zaratsu with a ceramic…

This just in! Baltimore Watch Company/Tsao Baltimore Steel Torsk GMT 39 – Cobalt Blue Meteorite

So I finally got something from Baltimore Watch Company/Tsao Baltimore (I don't know when and why the brand jumps from Baltimore Watch Company and Tsao Baltimore). I've been wanting to get something from them for a while given my wife lived …

This just in! OLTO-8 Chrono Gate Mystic Purple

So yeah . . . I got one of these. It's just caught my eye. It's one of those watches with a module that flips the hour numbers from 0-11 to 12-23 (jumping hour, but all of them switch at 12 hours, not 1 every hour). This to me is one of th…

My Hong Kong watches

So we all know Hong Kong is the mecca for watch shopping in the world, usually going back and forth with the ENTIRE COUNTRY of the US as the number one for Swiss watch sales all by itself. I grew up partially in Hong Kong, and I remember all the jewel…

Any mechanical worldtimers with alarm function?

So I was looking for a worldtimer (not GMT, but worldtimer) with alarms. Not digital quartz, but a mechanical. And I was surprised to find . . . hardly anything. I found a Merkur Worldtimer alarm, but that was on reddit and Merkur doesn't even …

This just in! M.A.D.1S

So yeah, it finally came after DHL asking me the same question over and over and over again and asking me to call them to give them more info only to tell me they don’t need any info from me for almost 2 weeks. So here we go.

Granted, I never held the other MAD editions, so I can’t speak to how thick they are. But this one doesn’t quite wear as thick as the specs suggest; the domed sapphire adds girth without making you feel it. But it’s obvious from looking at the display that this…

This just in! anOrdain Model 3 Method Aqua

So got another anOrdain. I wasn’t completely sure about the Model 3 Method until I saw them in person last year. Both Aqua and Lichen are gorgeous and don’t really show how pretty they are without holding them and seeing the ridges and light reflections in person. If the Lichen was the only option, I would’ve jumped on it. It’s pretty enough to warrant the purchase. But with the Aqua an option as well, it’s hard to turn it down.

Casewise, there’s not much to say. Standard case. It’s…
