Miniaturized wrist computers with a multifunction screen. I’m a classic watch kind of guy, accumulating a drawer full of them over the years. Titanium […]

The Crate Club & NFW Watch Collaboration

The Crate Club & NFW Watch Collaboration

A watch is a great way to finish off your look. Not only can watches be a lifesaver to those in the military, but they are a staple in a gentleman’s daily carry and wear. I own both the Auto Pilot and Valor from NFW and they are nothing short of rugged, dependable and bad-ass, which is why we chose them […]

NFW Regulator: Captain America's dive watch

NFW Regulator: Captain America’s dive watch

NFW Watch Company FireFighter tribute watch

NFW Watch Company FireFighter tribute watch

There’s no doubt that we firefighters love to represent who we are and what we do without looking tacky with the, “I fight what you fear”, BS. Oftentimes though, I find that gear made to showcase the fire service is either for full casual or straight work and usually cheaply made, until now. NFW is a company […]
