I love the simple fact that a watch can do so much to my everyday fit and mood, and I couldn’t care less about the dress rules. If a big 42mm sports watch with a 44mm bezel looks great under a linen-mix shirt and fits under the cuff, then I’ll wear it if it looks […]

You have to draw the line somewhere. And I draw the line at cheese. Anything beyond cheese is a step too far for me. I’m talking cheese as a building material for watches of course, not cheese as food. Cement, granite, wood, and marble are highly debatable, but at least you can’t eat the stuff. […]
