Fratello Talks: Why We Chose Analog Watches In A Digital World

Fratello Talks: Why We Chose Analog Watches In A Digital World

Why do we choose analog watches in a digital world? It’s a valid question, as these mechanical timekeepers (though still functional) are no longer the necessity they once were. Why, then, do they remain not just an obsession for the few but also relevant and ever-present objects in people’s private lives and even pop culture?

Introducing: The Héron Marinor - An Updated Dive Watch From Canada

Introducing: The Héron Marinor - An Updated Dive Watch From Canada

Admittedly, we don’t hear about Canada much when it comes to watches. That’s a shame and perhaps slightly surprising, as it’s a large country with a variety of landscapes.

The brand began delivering watches in 2021, and its […] Visit Introducing: The Héron Marinor - An Updated Dive Watch From Canada to read the full article.

How do you feel about the combination of art and watches? The mix of the two is almost always polarizing.

Introducing: The Piaget Polo 79 In A Tantalizing Two-Tone Configuration

Two years ago, Piaget reintroduced its iconic Polo watch. The Polo 79 in full 18K yellow gold was a very appropriate way to celebrate the maison’s 150th anniversary.

Going Yellow: Why I Bought A Doxa Sub 300T Divingstar

Buying a watch you already know is a very different experience from buying one you’re curious about. There’s no discovery phase, no anxious waiting for the honeymoon period to either validate or undermine the decision. Instead, it’s quieter, more deliberate. In many ways, that’s exactly how I felt when I purchased my Doxa Sub 300T […] Visit Going Yellow: Why I Bought A Doxa Sub 300T Divingstar to read the full article.
