A Generational Wristwatch, From My Father’s Wrist To Mine. This post has taken me quite a while to write, I’ve started, I’ve stopped, and I’ve come back to it during moments of inspiration. There is so much to say about the Rolex Submariner that passed many years on the wrist of my Father, and then found its new home on mine. This watch has seen and been through so much in its 30 year history, that to try and contain its story in one post is incredibly difficult. Much like the starting and stopping of the automatic mechanism inside this … Continue reading On The Wrist: My Father’s Rolex Submariner
Purple & Gold Never Looked Better. When my Father unclipped the oyster clasp on his two-tone 91′ Rolex Submariner ref. 16613, and proceeded to place it in my hands, signaling that the watch would pass on to its next caretaker, I was beyond ecstatic (a full article on that moment and that watch will come out closer to my 30th Birthday this year, which will also mark the watch’s 30th year). As I was shaking off my sense of disbelief, he walked over to a forgotten drawer in a partners desk in our living room, and fished out another watch … Continue reading Venerable Vintage: A Two-Tone Nautica With Triple Sub-Dial From The 80’s

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

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. Perhaps this is why I was so immediately drawn to Seiko’s SRPD77K1 model, one out of the dizzying twenty-six options in the revamped 5 Sports lineup from the famed manufacturer. 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
The Cheapest Way To Travel Back To Your Childhood, And Through 31 Time Zones.

The king of these unsung heroes from our childhood, Casio, still reigns supreme in the digital watch market space. The retro gold Casio fervently sought after by hipsters and tech junkies alike, or the bulky definition of manhood in the G-Shock line, Casio still is a huge watch brand for many. I was driven to … Continue reading On The Wrist: The Casio AE-1200WH-1A Classic
