Coming out of hibernation for two watch legends, @watchout247 & @aslaponthewrist2 🤙🏼

Joining in on the #watchbumpweek26 action with an #NWA 🚨 The Hesagraph Cannoli, the name alone makes this a great addition! 🤌🏼

Big shoutout to the @htdwatches team for the hospitality and customer service, I’m proud to represent!

Hitting y’all with an archive on this #SpeedyTuesday. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Same ol excuse… life’s been hectic, and I just haven’t had the time to post. Huge respect to the creators who somehow stay consistent, teach me your ways💪🏼

I don’t see things slowing down anytime soon between a little one at home and added responsibilities at work. For now, I’ll keep peppering your feeds with the occasional post whenever I get the chance!

Just along for the ride, enjoying the unhealthy watch obsession and the community 🤙🏼

Friday eve… almost there! It’s been a busy week, so getting behind the lens has been tough. While on a flight this week, I took a peek at some of my older shots…

Because of this crazy passion for little mechanical machines, I picked up photography and like anything else, there’s growth that comes with it. Looking back at previous edits and thinking, “Why in the heck did I think this was the final edit?!” is honestly part of the fun.

Still have a lot to learn and I’m definitely my own worst critic, but growing, adapting, and refining the craft has become just as enjoyable as the passion for watches itself.

A lot of the growth comes from this community too. Connecting with people, learning new techniques, and taking tips from photographers far better than me has pushed me to improve.

We always talk about getting better behind the camera… but do we talk enough about getting stronger in post?

Curious to hear your take WatchFam!

A little Microbrand Monday action with the Field One! In my humble opinion, the best field watch under 1k hands down! 🙌🏻 #microbrandmonday

The spec sheet on the Field One is absurd: ⬇️🔥
• Grade 2 Titanium w/ clear DLC coating for hardness ✔️
• 39mm case diameter ✔️
• 10mm case thickness ✔️
• 100m water resistance ✔️
• Toolless micro adjust clasp ✔️
• SuperLuminova LumiCast C3 X2❗️✔️

It’s almost as if @canopywatchco listens to what watch enthusiast’s want and they delivered!

Truly one of my favorites in the collection!

Watch Fam: “Maurice your collection needs some color, cmon now!”

Me: ….. Mark XX!! #NWA 🚨

Finally adding a heavy hitting field watch to the lineup! The Explorer 1 held this spot on my wish list for a while, but in a world full of Explorer 1’s… let’s throw some Mark XX action in there!

What’s your favorite field/flieger watch⁉️ And do you put the Mark XX into the field watch bucket?… I do!

Living off archives lately! #pocketshot of the Sub🤙🏼 ready to get back behind the lens 📸

Finally sharing why the Sub was added to the collection! I hold off on getting Grails for life milestones, the Sub is no different! Timing lined up perfectly from getting “The Call” from the AD and welcoming our daughter! Shoutout to the Wifey for making us a family of 3🙏🏼

The Sub and our first born, sharing the same age! Many memories already made, many more to go! Don’t worry, she’ll be a part of the #watchfam in no time! 🙌🏻

Share those life milestone additions, would love to hear some stories!

This #speedytuesday is a special one, 3 years of ownership today and still in the honeymoon phase! 🌑🚀 Here’s my favorite shot I’ve captured of my Speedy🤌🏼

We throw the term grail around a lot but if I’m still cheesin’ about the Speedy after 3 years of ownership… I think that’s what a grail should mean… price aside! Thoughts #watchfam ⁉️

#seikosaturday with another archive shot, glad the 383 is finally getting some hype! Perfect pairing with this Army Green Sailcloth from @wisstraps 🔥

Have a great weekend #watchfam ‼️

Any watches you gravitated towards that weren’t popular or hyped initially?

Posting an archive to prove I’m still kicking! The DD MOP never disappoints! 🔥What’s good WatchFam?!

The wife and I have been on paternity leave, after welcoming our beautiful daughter back in February!

I turned everything off, including IG to focus on a time we only get few and far between… uninterrupted time with our first born, as a growing family! It’s been a blessing! Sadly, we have to get back into the swing of things to keep the lights on around the house 😂 with that, I also plan to start posting again! 🙌🏼

What’d I missed? We all still riding high from Watches and Wonders ⁉️

#ToolWatchFriday with the Santos👊🏻

BUT WAIT, the Santos isn’t a tool watch, you say?
Tell that to the ADLC, 10-bar, lumed WSSA0037😎

More water resistance than my Speedy🙃

Hot take: this might be the most tool-ish Santos… I’d even put it in front of the new titanium believe it or not 👀

Let’s class the Santos down a bit… at least this reference!
