aBlogtoWatch — It's a Thursday morning in Southern California, and like most days here, it's a balmy one. Five of us are having breakfast overlooking the boat slips at Alamitos Bay Marina in Long Beach, the water in the harbor glimmering with the kind of promise that only California sunshine brings.

aBlogtoWatch — To describe the art of Maxime Plescia-Büchi is something of an art form in itself. Commas are helpful: Plescia-Büchi’s many creative endeavors span the fields of fashion, graphic design, tattoos, typography, and by dint of his seven-year-long partnership with Hublot, watches. Of course, breadth alone does not an artist make.

aBlogtoWatch — The pressure starts slowly, a dull compression around my ears. I'm hardly 10 feet below the ocean surface, kicking deeper with my fins despite the increasing pain. It's my first time snorkeling, and I'm not equalizing my ear pressure correctly. I can see the seafloor through my goggles; it's not more than 25 feet deep [...]

aBlogtoWatch — It’s a brisk, late-autumn Sunday morning in Green Bay. The Packers are playing at home today, and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen more green and gold in my life than at this very moment. I’m in town for the weekend as a guest of the lovely folks at Zenith, to celebrate their nearly two-year-long partnership with Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and right now we’re tailgating in front of historic Lambeau Field as I attempt to eat my body weight in beer-soaked brats and cheese curds.

aBlogtoWatch — Girard-Perregaux is no stranger to ceramic watches, having already created a number of references using the material in recent years. But as you may have guessed from its name, the Girard-Perregaux Laureato Green Ceramic Aston Martin Edition is the first time the Swiss brand has created a fully green ceramic watch.

aBlogtoWatch — "It's nice to finally meet you in person," I say warmly to my newly minted friend, who also happens to be a fellow member of the watch media. I'd followed his work online for some time, and we were already friends on social media but hadn't ever met in real life until this encounter at [...]

aBlogtoWatch — Late last year, Doxa introduced its SUB 300β collection of watches, a slimmed-down evolution of the brand’s iconic SUB 300 dive watch. Aside from cutting a more svelte figure on the wrist, the new SUB 300 Beta series takes a restrained approach to Doxa’s typical punchy use of color, as well as introducing new materials in its construction. With the Doxa SUB 300β Sediqqi Edition watch, it’s the first time a Doxa SUB features a natural mother-of-pearl dial, and the deep blue hue is a fitting choice given the brand’s long-standing aquatic history.

aBlogtoWatch — Good things come to those who wait... every two years. That's not NORQAIN's official motto, but it very well could be. The Swiss independent brand has only been around since 2018, but keen-eyed observers will note the biennial pace of its impressive milestones. In 2020, NORQAIN announced its partnership with Kenissi and the creation of [...]

aBlogtoWatch — Polo helmets, jerseys, and mallets, oh my! October 5, 2024 saw the return of the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic to Los Angeles at Will Rogers State Park, and it had everything you could wish for on a Saturday afternoon: sunshine, sport, champagne, and of course, watches.
