We’re almost there. The Watch Dial Making Series has definitely been a challenge — and while Episode 1 will arrive about two months past my original deadline , the extra time has allowed me to include more information, resources, and lessons learned along the way. My goal with this series is to help anyone interested in making their own watch dials , and also give watch enthusiasts a behind-the-scenes look at how custom watches are created. I’m really looking forward to shar

The Timex Intrepid x Dimepiece Edition: Why this Affordable Watch Became Iconic This isn’t just any Timex. In the 1990s, one of the most photographed men in the world—**John F. Kennedy Jr.**—regularly wore a watch that cost less than a nice dinner. And somehow, that watch became legendary.

I'm referring to the modern reinterpretations of a watch produced in the 1970s by the British watch company CWC and the American-Swiss brand Hamilton. In the early 1970s, both companies made a watch

When you think about a fluted bezel your first thought my be a watch that is dressier, perhaps more decorative - perhaps a Rolex comes to mind and for good reason… Originally introduced by Rolex, the fluted bezel had a humble beginning that had a far more practical purpose. In 1926 Rolex released the first waterproof and dust proof watch called the Rolex Oyster. Or so they claimed.

A Brief History of Watchmaking The history of watchmaking began long ago through centuries of innovation, craftsmanship, and cultural changes. Prior to the 14th century, and before mechanical timekeeping, civilizations used the natural world around them to tell the passing of time. This included tracking the seasons, the moon and stars, sunset to sunset or sunrise to sunrise, and the creation of calendars. To measure the passing of time during a given day, sundials, water clo
