Zenith G.F.J. #watchoftheday

Lapis, mother of pearl, and my favorite part, matching guilloché. Couldn’t decide which pictures I like, this watch is so good. Between the platinum case and the vibrancy of dial materials, this watch glows everytime I look at it. Limited edition of 160. What a pleasure it is to wear this one. @zenithwatches

Sometimes the bracelet is the fit.

Genta did his thing with this one: Royal Oak 15510ST.

Is this the BEST bracelet in the game — Drop a comment ⬇️

Last few pics from the @watchjabs event with @moserwatches. @hautlence also brought a few pieces with them that I got to try on.

It was nice to get to try on their newest square jump hour, although I think I prefer the sphere jump hour watches from Hautlence.

Thanks again to Jabs for putting together an incredible event

The value of a watch isn’t measured by the attention it attracts.

One week until the Atlanta Watch Salon. We’ve built this weekend around the watches, the people who make them and the collectors who care about them.

Collectors, brands and watchmakers at the same table. Time to hear the stories behind the work, ask questions and build relationships that last long after the photo is taken.

See you in Atlanta. Quiet the noise.

Taken from last night's @moserwatches event with @watchjabs

This is my 5th time attending a Moser event and every time they completely blow me away. Highlight of the night for me was getting to try on the collab watch they did with @reebok inspired by the pump shoes. It's such a great watch in person and my favorite in the streamliner case.

Other highlights include the GPHG nominated Endeavour Flyback Chronograph Dual Time Date, which has onenof the best looking movements that Moser has produced, the new mini streamliners (definitely too small for me), and the new Off-Grid model which puts traditional watchmaking and a digital watch together in the same Moser case.

Thanks to Jabs for setting this up!

Temporis Sauterelle Aventurine ✨
-
Those of you who have been following us for a while know that Aventurine is a staple for us. It’s almost become synonymous with our watches
-
We first released an aventurine glass dial watch in 2019 - well before this dial type was popular. Since then, we’ve released an aventurine glass dial with every model and it’s sold out each time without fail
-
The dial layout of the Temporis Sauterelle is even more suited to aventurine - the empty space in the dial allows the sparkle in the glass to really shine through
-
Temporis Sauterelle Aventurine is limited to only 40 pieces. Pre orders are currently open

To my baby boy @steadyprogressioniv on his ninth birthday,

Every day, I wonder how I got so lucky to be your dad. You are sweet, smart, brilliant, and growing into a young man with an integrity and work ethic that are unmatched.

We spend endless hours on fields and courts, and just as many at the dining room table doing homework. Then we get to enjoy the fun stuff too — the Coombs boys trips, experiencing dope things for the first time together, from driving Lamborghinis to meeting professional athletes and everything in between.

My goal as your dad is simply to show you the power of hard work and the rewards that can come from it. I know Daddy is hard on you, but I hope one day you understand why. Your work ethic and your integrity will be two of the greatest gifts I can ever give you.

And to quote your Grandpa:

“My goal for you is that my ceiling will be your floor.”

Happy 9th birthday, Bubba.

I love you more than you’ll ever know.

As the summer comes to an end, I’ve been thinking back on what is quickly becoming one of my favorite traditions: our annual Martha’s Vineyard event.

I’m incredibly grateful for everyone who continues to support our vision and helps us bring this community together year after year.

And yes… we’re already planning for next year. We will definitely be back on the Vineyard in August! 🙌🏿

A special thank you to the @inkwell.beach.club and @ajcalloway for being such gracious hosts and making us feel at home.

Until next summer, Martha’s Vineyard. 🖤⌚️

As I’ve progressed in watch collecting, I’ve realized there are three parts to the journey.

1. Buying the watch.
Getting the call. Walking into the store. Finally getting the piece you’ve been chasing. It’s probably the biggest dopamine hit in collecting and what keeps many of us coming back.
2. Finding your community.
This is the best part for me. Watch collecting eventually becomes friend collecting. You find good people who love what you love, and eventually those relationships become bigger than the watches.
3. Finding your voice.
To me, this is the most important part.

Am I buying this watch because I love it, or because everyone else loves it?

That can be difficult because so much of our early collecting is influenced by what we’re told is great. Sometimes your taste aligns perfectly with the hype. Sometimes you’re ahead of it. And sometimes people wonder what the hell you were thinking. 😂

But somewhere between the hype and your initial reaction to a watch is your voice as a collector.

These photos are about 10 years apart.

Three Rolexes then.
RM, F.P. Journe and Patek now.

I don’t see one as better than the other. I see the evolution of someone slowly figuring out what speaks to him.

Looking back, the best people who advised me weren’t telling me what to buy. They were helping me find my voice.

And now, one of my favorite parts of this community is helping others find theirs.

Have you found your voice as a collector yet?

POV: MB&F released the M.A.D.3 and you suddenly remembered you own the M.A.D.1S. 😂⚡️

So obviously… time to turn the lume ALL the way up.

Spinning rotor. Glowing lume. Completely unnecessary levels of mechanical insanity.

And honestly, this is why I love independent watches.

M.A.D.3 Vincent Calabrese has officially entered the chat. 👀

Which one are you taking: M.A.D.1S, M.A.D.2 or M.A.D.3? 👇

Follow if you think watches should be a little more… M.A.D. 🤪
