At Twilight Cafe North York, just minutes away from the Toronto Timepiece Show. On Saturday, September 26, from 2-4 PM, alongside our friends from The Grey NATO, we will be hosting our third Gear Swap. We'll be bringing along some of...

Since we launched the brand, one of the things we wanted to solve was pretty simple: how do you make a watch you don’t have to think twice about wearing? Titanium gave us the lightness and corrosion resistance we wanted,...

A Note To Our Fellow Adventurers In this article, we share an entry from Riley Lockett, founder of Sector 7 Studios, based here in Alberta, Canada. His dedication to adventure story telling has taken him away from his home in...

Whether you're traveling for work, or for pleasure, toiletries are always the biggest hassle. What needs to be packed from your bathroom? Which of my items is going to waste my time at security? Toothpaste at 115 mL. The GP...

My daughter is fifteen months old. She has no concept of time yet, not in any way I can measure. She knows before and after, hungry and fed, awake and asleep. But she watches everything, and lately I've noticed she...

Nobody buys a watch for purely rational reasons, even the people who swear they do. Answer honestly, tally your points, and find out what's really driving your next purchase. 1. You see a watch that catches your eye online. What...

Every watch brand talks about titanium the same way. Lightweight. Corrosion-resistant. Hypoallergenic. Grade 5 this, Grade 2 that. It reads like a materials science pamphlet, and it misses the actual reason the metal has become such a fixture in modern...

There's a strange asymmetry in what we're willing to call sensible. Spend $400 on a Seiko 5 field watch, and nobody blinks. It reads as practical, even a little frugal in watch circles, the kind of purchase people quietly approve...

Everyone thinks their collection says something about them. Most of the time, they're wrong. Answer honestly, tally your points, and find out what your wrist actually reveals. 1. Your ideal watch has how many complications?A) None. A time-only dial is...

"Why would anyone spend thousands of dollars on a watch when your phone tells the time for free?" It is probably the most common question every watch enthusiast has been asked, and honestly, it is a fair one. If telling...

I have worn through more soles than I would like to admit, chasing light. Not chasing storms or summits, just light, the kind that shows up for four minutes at the top of a dune or the bottom of a...

 "Military equipment isn't designed to impress. It's designed to work." Our recent collaboration with Sketchy Boyz Watch Club on the UTD-8000-SBWC got us talking about something far more interesting than watches themselves. Digital watches. More specifically, why they continue to...

Most watch care advice is written for a watch that never goes anywhere. Wipe with a soft cloth. Store away from direct sunlight. Keep clear of magnets. That's fine if your watch lives in a drawer between wears. It's useless...

I check my wrist before I've even thought about it. Standing at the trailhead, gear sorted, boots laced, and my eyes drop to the watch like it's going to tell me something I don't already know. It won't. My phone...

Some collaborations start and end with the product launches. Ours started with the Aspirare, long after it became a part of our catalogue. What began as a watch they put to the test, became a model that was beloved, and...

RZE has a relationship with SBWC beyond the club. As Rico shared in his initial review of the UTD-8000, we're friends that share not only a passion for watches, but for building community, and building things we would want not for...

You've watched the YouTube videos. You own the knife. You've told yourself you could handle it if things went sideways. But could you actually survive a week in the Australian bush with no phone signal, dwindling food, and weather that...

I've been thinking about this a lot lately, standing at the car at 5 am with the camera gear loaded and a full day ahead that could go anywhere. Trail in the morning, coffee in a coastal town by noon,...

There's a shot you've seen a thousand times. Person on a ridge, arms outstretched, back to the camera, golden-hour light doing all the heavy lifting. The landscape is vast. The caption is something about finding yourself. The gear looks like...

A Note To Our Fellow Adventurers On the Adventure Logs this week, we're featuring a video review of the UTD-8000-CKG from Rob Spencer. Although Rob has developed a strong following with his watch reviews, what draws us together is Rob's...

There is a number that the Swiss watch industry would prefer you never think too hard about. That number is 60. As in, 60 percent. That is the minimum proportion of manufacturing costs that must originate in Switzerland for a...
