Watch reviews: Nomadic Watches Dána 141
I always enjoy seeing a watch brand try something different, especially when it has a pretty clear idea of what it does best. Nomadic is a Belfast-based brand founded by Peter McAuley in 2021, with a name inspired by the SS Nomadic, the last remaining White Star Line ship. Until now, its watches have mostly…

Watch reviews: 85Watches GHOST
There are plenty of digital watches out there, but every now and then one comes along that manages to take something very familiar and make it feel fresh again. The GHOST from 85 Watches is one of those models. I actually first came across their profile on Instagram, where I started seeing their watch and…

Out Of Order Forma Venti Gets Two New Colors
There’s something about rectangular watches that I’ve always liked. They have a different kind of presence on the wrist, especially when you add a bit of Art Deco inspiration and a dial that doesn’t look like everything else out there.

And I have to say, I really like the direction…

I’m grateful for them for sending this watch my way.…

Canuck Timepieces steps into the retro-future with its first Signature release
I’ve been following Canuck Timepieces for quite some time, and over the years I’ve had the chance to see the brand evolve. Canuck was founded by James Williams, whom I’ve also had the pleasure of getting to know along the way. More recently, I spent some time with the 4th Dimension, Canuck’s collaboration with AndoAndoAndo. So when…

Watch reviews: Mr. Jones Watches Ricochet
I’ve always had a soft spot for watches that don’t take themselves too seriously. Give me something with a bit of personality, a bit of quirkiness and a story behind it, and chances are I’ll be interested. That’s probably why I’ve been a fan of Mr Jones Watches for quite some time. Until now, though,…

BALL Engineer M Skindiver III Gets a New Explorer: Gilles Gambini
BALL Watch Company has a new addition to its Explorers Club. The brand has announced elite freediver, scientific diver and explorer Gilles Gambini as its newest ambassador. And considering what Gambini does for a living, the watch chosen for the partnership makes quite a bit of sense. Gambini grew up in Nice between the Mediterranean and the…
