Timex has long had a relationship with Todd Snyder, putting interesting finishes and dial designs on their lineup. They’ve done a MK1 before (which we reviewed here), and now they’re back with one that’s a bit more of a yin-and-yang treatment. Meet the Timex x Todd Snyder MK-1 “Black + White”.
When it comes to Kross Studio creations, they are no strangers to some amazing flights of fancy (my favorite being their Batmobile clock). Even their watch winders – like this one – have indulged geeky tendencies and have been sculptural in their own right. Their latest winder – the Kross Studio Connected Watch Winder – goes in a much more minimalistic direction.
We’re back, baby! The HourTime Show has returned after a few weeks of travel and we are ready to talk about watches. Let’s go!
80 years ago, the 99th Pursuit Squadron first took flight – a group we know better, today, as the Tuskegee Airmen. In honor of that anniversary – and to help the work of the Tuskegee Airmen, Inc – there’s a new 300-piece limited edition of the AVI-8 P-51 Mustang Tuskegee Airmen Chronograph.
When we’ve written about Triwa watches in the past, we’ve focused on models that were usually designed for men’s wrists, or – at best – unisex. With their latest “Time For…” release (which has covered a wide variety of initiatives) the spotlight is put on the women of the world. Meet the Triwa Time for Power.
While some may choose to sleep on the Timex models from the last few years, there have been some rather sharp-looking pieces. One of the ones that really caught our eye was the vintage-look Timex Marlin, and two new versions were recently released.
As of late, the Casio Edifice lineup has really been leaning into motorsports inspiration. Their latest model, the Casio Edifice Sospensione (aka ECB2000) continues that trend, with a hefty does of carbon fiber.
Yema’s Superman was originally released in the 1960s and is an iconic timepiece. This new version runs Yema’s own GMT movement and looks like a solid and handsome throwback with a great design.
Last week, we had some reviews on some very nice – and very high-end – watches. While those are great in their own right, many of us aren’t going to be splashing out on five-figure watches in the near future. We’ve all no-doubt got our favorite small independent brands we gravitate towards, but if you want something with a known “name” (either for yourself or as a gift), Fossil is no doubt a brand that comes to mind. Many of us started with their more fashion-oriented quartz watches found in a department store, but don’t sleep on their automatics. For instance, like those found in the Fossil Heritage Men’s collection.
You know us here at WWR – we like to talk about what’s happening on the affordable end of the spectrum, as there are a number of well-known sites out there that live solely in the rarified air of luxury watches. Still, we like to daydream just like anyone else, and that’s why we’ve got those “For Your Consideration” articles that pop up now and again. And then, sometimes we get in touch with the right person, and we get to spend some time with one of these high-end watches. We did that recently a few different times. You can read about the first one here, and of course read on to see more about the Laurent Ferrier Classic Origin Blue.
