HOUR KIND / THE EDIT / 001

Independent brands just seem less afraid of colour.

While much of the watch world still plays it safe with black, blue and silver, smaller independents are having a lot more fun.

Watermelon pink and green. Electric blue under neon pink. Graphic pastels. Orange fading into a night sky.

Featuring Studio Underd0g, Direnzo, Sō Labs and Meridiano — four very different approaches, but the same willingness to experiment.

Maybe that freedom is exactly what makes independent watchmaking so interesting right now.

Less safe. Less predictable. Less boring.

Which one would you wear?

Sō Labs watches aren’t exceptionally versatile. They’re not for every outfit, activity, personality, or mood, and they’re not “strap monsters” that pair easily with any old strap. At first encounter, the dials’ crisscrossing semicircles and triangles in bold colours seem to defy all existing watch design expectations. One is temporarily stunned before it even becomes clear how to read the time, writes Zen Love (@zlo_watches). Read more at the link in bio.

Andrew Perez is someone I’ve now known for years, so this episode is long overdue. Though we don’t hang out as often as I’d like - he’s in Chicago after all, and I’m obviously not - it’s always a great time hanging w Andrew. He’s one of the most laid back people I’ve ever met, and don’t let his cool, calm sense of humor fool you. The dude is on his P’s & Q’s.

We chat about starting his two watch brands, @astorandbanks and @solabs.co, as well as a little bit about providing internet services to apartments along with keeping a family in tact, and why Rockford, Illinois needs its due.

Each interview podcast is free through the STANDARD H Substack page, as well as Spotify and Apple Podcasts. As a paid subscriber, you will receive even more podcasts, behind the scenes information and content, as well as written articles and notes! Link in Bio
