TIMEPIECE : Seiko Diver’s 150m

I found this Diver’s 150m in my parents’ room the other day. Seiko started producing the divers in the 1960′s; this specific model, I believe is from the 80′s. Features gold plated numbers, classic rubber straps and a few scratches here and there! My ‘rents didn’t know who it belonged to…but it’s on my wrist [...]

The Stockroom

Seems as though all my friends ask me if ONE day I’d open up a shop or start my line of clothes, I usually respond with a shrug of elbows…but I know that deep down, most of us have thought of it, pondered about it, and even dream of doing something like that.  So congrats [...]

They boast an impressive reputation by bringing a simple & stylish design approach yet putting a complete devotion to functionality, materials and fabrication. I’ve [...]

Giveaway : Dissertation on The Authenticity of Utility

The leather laces snapped on my pair of Mowat’s so I wrote an email to VISVIM; to my surprise, 15 minutes later, I had a reply sitting in my inbox inquiring my address so they can resolve the issue Asap. No questions asked, not even asking for a photo of the defect, just my address. [...]

Travel Kit by Baxter

One of the best parts of traveling is the packing process, and one thing that always stresses me is toiletry (dont wanna end up using the shit hotel soaps). Did I bring my contact solution, did I bring my shampoo, did I bring my after shave…and so on. Baxter makes life a little easier with [...]
