Detoxing from a Horological Overload
It’s been several days of watches for me. It was a big watch week in NYC with several brands in town and WatchTime and Wind Up both happening.
It was all indies or micro brands (also indies but separated by $$$$ and some other sometimes very subjective metrics), and so after all of that I needed a detox.
The Daytona is that perfect detox.

I didn’t do WatchTime…
…in part as there was both nothing there that was new or interesting to me but also because I was able to have dinner with Romain Gauthier earlier in the week and was meeting some other “watch friends” also. I did go to Wind Up however. At least at Wind U...
