I feel like itās been a while since Iāve posted this one. In reality I continue to wear it pretty regularly, and there is definitely the same level of joy strapping it on the wrist as there was the very first time. Itās also one of two watches in my colle...

But I understand your thinking. One can go āsafeā with an all purpose, all occasion and properly sized watch. A utility watch almost. Or you can go for one that will always inspire, will always give you that smile and might be that little bit of madness. ...
