I’ve been travelling with my watches wrapped in socks for years — and it’s worked. But I finally decided it was time for a “proper” watch roll. That’s when I learned the hard truth: watch rolls are either cheap and awful, expensive and awful, or just expensive for no reason.

The Farer Aquamatic Biarritz is one of those watches that burrowed into my brain the moment I saw it, and it’s never really left. With its bold red accents, creamy white dial, and vintage-meets-modern charm, it’s the kind of piece that keeps calling me back, even after years of distractions and other purchases. I haven’t handled it in person (yet), but it’s been firmly on my wishlist for a while now - and I’m not sure it’s going anywhere anytime soon.

A watch doesn’t just tell time, it tells a story. Powered by nothing but springs, gears, and the movement of your wrist, it lives because you wear it.

Christopher Ward was the brand that got me hooked on watches — great specs, killer prices, and real charm. But lately, something’s changed. Between rising prices and endless limited editions, has CW lost its way?

What happens when a historic watch brand name makes a modern comeback — with a quartz movement and a luxury price tag? I stumbled upon Dennison Watches during a late-night scroll and found myself torn between admiration and skepticism. Is this a true resurrection of watchmaking heritage, or just clever marketing dressed up in a vintage case?
