Introducing Constantime and the Genesis
I always enjoy discovering independent watch brands, especially when there’s a personal story behind them.

Watch reviews: O&HoraPictor Yellow Track

Watch reviews: McQuaide C1 Midnight
Founded by Rob McQuaide in 2023, McQuaide Watches is still a relatively young name in the independent watch world. But in just a few years, the brand has developed a very distinctive identity, with Damascus steel becoming one of its defining elements. Having had the chance to get to know Rob along the way, I’ve…
