A new watch from MB&F; is always a big deal. There’s a teaser campaign, articles start cropping up to revisit the previous watches, people speculate rampantly - the closest thing I’ve seen to it recently was when the new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was released and the Internet pretty much exploded. Now […]

Famously worn on the wrist of Rafael Nadal, the Richard Mille RM27 is truly the epitome of sports watches as of this moment. Anyone who knows mechanical watches or watches in general can certainly comprehend that shock to a watch is like an earthquake to a wooden hut.

The art of scrimshaw is surrounded by layer upon layer of romance, tradition and controversy. Originating on whaling ships, where whalebone and marine ivory (mostly from walrus tusks) was plentiful, scrimshaw involves engraving on bone or ivory, with pigment applied to bring out the design. One of the great classics of American literature, Herman Melville’s […]
