MisterWrister

The “Star” Of Your Collection, 1000 ft Under The Sea Or At Your Desk. When searching for my daily wearer, I had several criteria in mind. Firstly, it had to be a watch capable of taking a beating. Whether it be throwing the ball around with my pup in the park, hauling groceries across the bustling streets of Montreal, or heading out on a hike at one of the various mountain trails encircling the city, the watch had to keep up. Secondly, it had to be a dive watch, as my fascination with space is equalled only with the vast … Continue reading On The Wrist: The Tissot Seastar 1000 Chronograph

MisterWrister

The Emerald In Seiko’s New Array Of Entry-Level Automatic Timepieces. They say that the human eye can see more shades of green than any other color, due in part to its position in the middle of the visible light spectrum, and our ancient roots.

The brand has organized these new watches into 5 overarching categories; Sports, Suits, Specialist, Street, and lastly Sense. Each having their own themes and distinct characteristics. … Continue reading On The Wrist: The New Seiko 5 “Avocado” SRPD77K1

On The Wrist: The Bulova Lunar Pilot

MisterWrister

A Perfect Companion For Your Next Trip To The Moon, And Beyond. Like many other watch enthusiasts, when the words “Lunar Watch” come to mind, flashes of the iconic Omega Speedmaster flirt into our imaginations. It is a grail watch for most, and has always held a special place in my heart. I am an avid space “nerd”, ever since my Uncle had given me a VHS of the original Star Wars film when I was five years old, I was hooked! My imagination often drifts into thoughts of space travel, other solar systems, and feeds off of the sense of adventure … Continue reading On The Wrist: The Bulova Lunar Pilot

Japan’s Answer To The Classic Dress Watch, With An Electric Blue Twist. Have you ever seen something that makes you stop dead in your tracks? That leaves you completely spellbound, awestruck and stupefied? These instances are somewhat of a rarity in our lives, and that is what makes them stand out from the rest of the mundane moments in time that tick away.  One of these moments occurred when I stumbled upon the Orient Bambino line of watches whilst browsing the internet last month.
