An amazing and well photographed look at Rick Hale, artist and clockwright, who makes gorgeous and functional clocks almost entirely from wood, and his latest piece, “Wind & Water.”


Swatch x Scottish Watches – The Limited Edition

Rikki / Scottish Watches

The final, and perhaps the most fun limited-addition/collaboration watch of 2020, Scottish Watches teams up with Swatch (the delightful affordable brand) and Canadian #watchfam illustrator extraordinaire, Diana Evans, for a set of original, truly special, watches for your collection.


The Curious Collector: Why Do We Turn Meteorites into Watch Dials?

Chris Wright / Worn & Wound

A quick look at the enigmatic dial material, including what it is actually made of and how its produced (and perhaps even a bit of an appreciation shift).


2020 Couldn’t Stop Watch Enthusiasts

Ariel Adams  / A Blog to Watch

Ariel discusses 2020, a year in which “already tumultuous industry was shaken around like a martini held by a marathoner.” With the global COVID-19 pandemic limiting much of the infrastructure and community that has allowed the watch thrive, companies are increasingly finding themselves surviving so on the backs of… us (the enthusiasts). Turns out, that may not be a terrible thing.

Everett

Everett is a PNW native, and dyed in the wool hobbyist at-large. Always fascinated with a challenge, over the years Everett has taken on juggling, sewing, bowling, marathon running, fly-fishing (and tying), photography, advanced cribbage strategy, and the Rubik’s cube. Everett got into watches in 2015 after spying a colleague’s Tag Heuer 2000 at happy hour. It quickly became apparent to him that the media-space for affordable watches was seriously limited. Sitting on his couch one evening, scouring threads to find a dress watch, Everett messaged his best-friend, and budding watch enthusiast, Andrew, and said, “I want to start a watch podcast.” Andrew, an action-man and serial hobbyist himself, was in. the rest, as they say, is history.
