Updates & Milestones

05/24/201901/10/2021

This post is a sort of update on all things Watch Complications. I wanted to bring attention to a couple of new pages on the site that are not in the form of blog posts and provide some milestone information. Making Custom Dials Video Series I completed and published an initial set of videos on […]

Christopher Ward Hamilton Reviews Ten Six Watches Watches

Simple Watches

04/09/201901/10/2021

A simple watch is the best watch. In the context of this post, “simple” means a basic dial, an uncluttered design, with the emphasis being simple time-telling. Here is an overview of five wonderfully simple watches in my collection: Christopher Ward C65 Trident Classic Vintage, Christopher Ward Grand Malvern Small Second, Hamilton Electric Converta, Hamilton […]

Tea Party (Update)

02/28/201901/11/2021

The first model of the Wonderland Series is now available for sale via my Etsy store. In the first Tea Party post, I described a little about my brand 10/6 (ten six) and introduced the design of the Tea Party model, minus the logo. Well, now it is complete and here are the pictures and […]

*Notice: This post represents my new format for watch review posts. Going forward, watch review posts will contain plenty of pictures and primary points, but less writing about the specific details. The details (more complete thoughts) are captured in the YouTube videos.* Xeric has been around for a while, but Kickstarter still seems to be […]

Carty Silicone Rubber Straps

01/07/201907/02/2025

Here we are taking a look at Carty silicone rubber straps. I really like rubber straps on dive watches. The watches in this post are a pair of Christopher Ward Trident Pro 600s, but we will focus on the straps. https://youtu.be/2qOoWh8pxXA Like the Maikes straps I previously reviewed, Carty is another low-cost strap distributor with […]

Christopher Ward C60 Trident Bronze Ombré

12/24/201801/11/2021

Ombré means “having tones of color that shade into each other, graduating from light to dark” (NOAD) and I have heard the term applied to all sorts of things from cookies to clothing. Now, Ombré is a watch and it is spectacular. Bronze has been a craze in recent years, particularly in 2017, 2018, and […]

Resizing a watch bracelet

12/21/201801/12/2021

Watch me resize a watch bracelet by removing the bracelet and a couple links from a Christopher Ward Trident Pro 600. Funnily enough this watch had two different spring bars, which gave me more to talk about! This bracelet uses friction pins (pin and collar, pin and tube), so this process applies to other bracelets […]

Chronograph Low Cost Reviews Timex

Timex Weekender Chronograph

12/18/201801/11/2021

I enjoy reviewing low-cost watches just as much as significant-cost watches. The Timex Weekender Chronograph is an example of a watch that is affordable for most people, given a certain expectation of how long they will wear it until moving onto something else. Like any watch purchase, information needs to be available so you know […]

DeLorean Motor Company – Alpha DMC Silver

11/23/201801/11/2021

I had to. As a child of the 1980’s, I grew up watching the Back to the Future (BTTF) series and have continued to watch it from time-to-time throughout my adult life. BTTF is a personal favorite. Of course I own the trilogy and a couple “collectors items.” No doubt you know that […]
