I was in a watch collectors meeting and we were talking about a one watch collection, this topic always comes around and the sole winner is always the Rolex Explorer 36mm, really you don’t need anything else, you can wear it everyday as a casual piece, then at night as a dress watch and even in formal occasions it can blend like nothing else but to me it lacks the hand finishing element, yes it is utilitarian and very austere but it is a mass produced watch, there is nothing wrong with that but in my books a hand finished...

A look at 3 modern Timex watches that capture the DNA of their previous iterations but with an updated modern take. First up is the the Cali-Marlin automatic salmon dial paired with a Vario crazy horse bund strap.

If something good was brought with the Nautilus 5711 hype was that a lot of people (including me) started to pay attention to what Patek Phillipe is (not that it needed my support).
