I’m one of those guys that love watches. To me, it is not only a necessity, but it finishes off the “look” of whatever it is that you are wearing. As much as I’d love to have a nice smartwatch, I haven’t been able to pull the trigger on one yet. Why? Truthfully, I not […]
In designing the Vaer watch, we tried our best to focus on the features and functionalities beloved by wristwatch enthusiasts. While some of our design features, such as the metal case ring and back-loaded case design, are invisible to the untrained eye, there are other features that clearly define the product’s identity.

Omega Watches recently unveiled a new photo on their website featuring Daniel Craig in his Bond-esque tuxedo showcasing their new Seamaster Diver 300M. For those unaware, Omega has exclusively taken the spotlight on James Bond’s wrist since 1995’s GoldenEye, which then featured Pierce Brosnan as the British spy. Every wristwatch worn by Bond since then has been […]
Bremont’s Armed Forces Collection does more than pay homage to the British Army, Royal Navy, and Royal Air Force; it’s brought new life to an aesthetic that’s directly reminiscent of a series of watches commissioned by the Ministry of Defence during World War II. These watches, commonly referred to as “the dirty dozen,” were made […]
We’ve scoped out the SANS-13 Tactical Sport Watch from S&B (formerly Smith and Bradley) before and found it to be an exceptional field timepiece, but the watch recently underwent a redesign that was informed heavily by feedback S&B received directly from military and law enforcement users. The result is one hell of a tough duty […]
Seiko may have some of the most popular entry-level watches on the market, but lest you forget, the company has a storied and prestigious history. Seiko revolutionized the watch industry by introducing the world’s first quartz watch, it was the official timer for several Olympic games, and it also adorned the wrists of General Schwarzkopf […]

Throughout the Vaer watch design process, we knew that we wanted to build a watch that would be able to take on not only everyday wear, but also the more adventurous life activities. This meant that achieving a 10 […]
A quality timepiece is much more than just a watch. It’s a way to level up your dress code for any occasion, a status symbol and investment. If you decide to hand it down then it becomes part of your legacy. So what constitutes a quality timepiece? Let’s break down a few characteristics to look for. Weight – […]
When I first saw the Paradive MKII Gen 3, to be honest, I didn’t think much of it. It was clean no doubt, but it failed to show any type of sophistication that I frequently see. So when I started seeing some of my close friends sporting the piece, I hopped on the web and headed […]
Back in December, I had the opportunity to visit the Bremont Watches Boutique in NYC. Needless to say, I was impressed from the moment I stepped into the place. Everything from the gentleman who greeted us to the collection of watches. A common trend you’ll see with Bremont is their commitment to military aviation. Everything […]
