Hey, look at that watch over there!
Hey, look at that watch over there!
Using my years of expertise as an internet savvy horological enthusiast and watch curator, my biggest passion is finding hidden gems just waiting to brighten up any watch collection. Beautiful, artistic watchmaking is a lot more accessible than people realize and you don’t even have to settle for the mundane if you choose to pursue more potent expressions of personality. Let me point you in the right direction on vintage watches that are both unique, well-made, but good value as well.
I’m excited to share with you my favorite aspects of horology. Whether its exotic lugs, an unusual dial, or simply a significant piece flying under the radar, there are many ways a watch can exude uniqueness. I’d love to point you in the right direction to find a treasure of your own!
Hey, look at these watches right here!
The Star-studded Suiter
Benrus ca. 1960s
This might be the most bang-for-buck in terms of class. Incredibly charming star-shaped indices, fancy lugs akin to crescent moons, and a self-winding time-only construction begging for a formal outing with some stargazing to cap off the night.
The Militaristic Minimalist
Girard-Perregaux ca. 1940s
In this era, materials and design converged to provide functionality foremost. Stainless steel case, easy-to-read applied indices, large seconds subdial. A tool watch if there ever was one.
The Regal Regulator
Doxa ca. 1930s
A regulator dial is a breath of chronographical fresh air and this Doxa represents one of the best companies to produce them. Keen on pure accuracy and clarity, regulators boast non-concentric hours, minutes, and seconds dials. This example is further elevated with Breguet-style numerals dancing around the upper and lower subdials for an edge of formality.
