Just another watch enthusiast. ⌚️
Exploring the world of horology, one watch at a time.

Caught the watch bug about 2 years ago, and the rest is history. Nothing too fancy here but these are some of my favourite pieces!

The journey has been a really satisfying one, albeit painful to the wallet. It’s no longer about acquiring material objects anymore but gaining knowledge about these timepieces instead.

Cheers to diving deeper into the horology rabbit hole my friends! 🥂

(Also, who else saves a whole bunch of wrist shots/videos in their photo gallery? 🙋🏻‍♂️)

Chasing cherry blossoms 🌸

Walking down the streets with the Shunbun, surrounded by cherry blossoms, has been quite an experience.

I really love how its dial plays with light, casting pink hues that change under different lighting conditions. Especially when direct sunlight hits, fading the pale pink dial even more until it almost looks white.

Grand Seiko’s dials are truly a work of art. ✨

It’s more than just a hobby, it’s about the people you meet along the way! ✨

This time, i’m glad it reconnected me with an old friend of mine – @littlewristclub . So of course we had to catch up, and what better way to do it than over a little mini watch get-together?

Took the opportunity to snap a few shots of his vintage collection as well, so here’s a mini series for you guys to enjoy! 😎

Which piece from his collection caught your eyes? 👀

Finally got the chance to go hands-on with my grail Speedy for the first time. 😍 The one and only Omega Speedmaster “Silver Snoopy Award.”

This is one of those rare pieces that celebrates a real chapter of space exploration, paying tribute to the role the Speedmaster played during the Apollo 13 mission.

In my opinion, every detail on this piece feels intentional. From the playful Snoopy on the dial to the animated caseback, where Snoopy makes a special appearance at the 14th second mark, every element serves as a reminder of why this watch exists in the first place.

Sadly, this one won’t be joining my personal collection. But I’m incredibly grateful that my good friend @watchesbeyondreach received an allocation and very kindly let me borrow it for a few days.

What’s your favourite detail on this beauty? 🚀

Another neo-vintage joins the collection. #nwa

This was definitely an unexpected find. While hunting for the Tudor Date Day, I stumbled across this Prince Date instead… and that copper/salmon dial instantly caught my eye. 🍣

This one wasn’t part of the plan, but I’m glad it found its way into the collection.

Also, a much needed palate cleanser from all the AP x Swatch collab posts flooding the feed lately. ☝🏻

My 2025 watch wrap.

Another year filled with NWA(s), but these are my top 3 picks of the year.
It’s been interesting to see how my taste has evolved from chunky divers to vintage classics like the Santos Galbée, and even dipping my toes into microbrands such as Studio Underd0g.

It feels like a good change, and it wouldn’t have happened without the influence, conversations, and inspiration from this amazing community.
Every comment, DM, and shared passion made this journey even more meaningful.

Grateful for the journey, on to 2026! Curious to see how the collection evolves next year. ✨

Which one’s your pick?

Long overdue for its own spotlight. Finally, it’s the Santos Galbée time to shine. ✨

Perfect proportions,
Perfect blend of gold and steel,
Perfectly reliable (thanks to the quartz movement)

I mean, what more can I ask for right? 🤓
No wonder it’s slowly becoming one of my favourites.

Thought of going red with the Tank for ages but held back because I thought it was too bold... Finally did it and with no regrets. ❤️ Big shoutout to @tsleathergoods for making it so easy and the whole process so seamless. First strap from them, and definitely not the last!

If you’re still on the fence, take this as your sign. ☝🏻
