The Manual Wind: Weiss Watch Company Standard Issue Field Watch

By

Quality timepieces are often associated with the same few countries of origin; Switzerland of course, and Germany.  One brand that is hoping to change this perception is The Weiss Watch Company.  At the helm is Swiss trained watchmaker Cameron Weiss.   WOSTEP certified, Weiss spent years training under the masters at watch houses Audemars Piguet and Vacheron Constantin.   Working hard to resurrect watch manufacturing in the United States circa the late 1800s early 1900s, Weiss is hitting the niche hard with its latest offering; the Standard Issue Field Watch.

At 42mm in diameter, this Stainless Steel cased watch is designed and almost totally manufactured right here in America.  Dials, hands, cases, and accessories are made in house as well as the finishing of the Swiss movement parts.  Once assembled, this classic timepiece can confidently bear the name of its home city as imprinted on the dial; Los Angeles, California.

Beneath the in house manufactured brass dial lies a Weiss caliber 1001 manual wind mechanical movement with forty-six hour power reserve.  All sandwiched together with two sapphire crystals for easy visibility of both the dial and movement, the Stand issue Field Watch is ready for a strap.  Black and white dials are offered with a selection of strap colors which include olive, navy, and black.

As the April showers come to a close, the May flowers will be in full bloom. While that sounds like a great time of year (unless, of course, you struggle with allergies), there is one thing that stubbornly sticks around this time of year, especially if you are north of the Mason-Dixon Line, and that is the cold snaps. The unpredictability of the spring means you are bound to have those days where you are a bit chilly in the morning and a little warm in the afternoon. The best way to combat this little problem is with the subtle art of layering. UNTUCKit is known for creating some of the most comfortable shirts of the last decade and a half, and they have released a spring collection that makes layering the simplest it's ever been.

Huckberry sends people on the adventure of a lifetime with the Explorer’s Grant
Find your inner explorer with Huckberry's help
Huckberry jacket

We were never meant to drive a desk. We were never designed to spend our days in a cubicle. We were designed to live under the sky with the sun and the stars able to stare down on us. We have long since forged a world of comfort, with customs of living indoors, safe from the dangerous sun and the deadly predators that roam at night. And ever since we forged that world, we've started to lose our connection to the great outdoors. That is why Huckberry is one of the most important brands for a man looking to reconnect with and recapture the spirit of our ancestors. But combining explorer's wear with fashion wasn't enough for Huckberry, they also want to send you on the adventure of a lifetime. They just wrapped up the fifth edition of the Huckberry Explorer's Grant, sending "John B. from North Carolina" on one of five life-changing adventures.
