VERO

VERO Watches is built to find the man who embraces his lineage. I am not talking about his nationality. I am not talking about his race or his heritage. I am talking about the lineage that brought us from the caves and the frontier to the more civilized and modernized world we recognize today. These are watches for explorers. These are watches for the man who ditches the cubicle and the office. The boardroom is a prison for our adventurous spirit, and VERO figured that out and is creating watches to help the man disappear from that existence to reclaim his place in the wilderness. Now that the dramatic part is over, I can tell you about the new drop featuring one of our favorite characters from our childhood, Smokey the Bear. The new VERO Smokey Bear Blue Skies is set up to remind all of us of one single truth.

Preventing forest fires is your responsibility

Featuring a 12mm thick, 316L stainless steel case with durable IP coating, Super LumiNova on the numerals and dial dots, the Smokey Bear Blue Skies carries a 15-hour illumination feature with a full UV charge. The automatic movement lasts for 41 hours and self-winds with the movement of your wrists, making this the perfect companion while you are out in the woods. The bands included are in a lighter leather for a dressier look if you are more of a boardroom fan, or a blue silicone band if you want to quickly change it as you ditch the office on a Friday afternoon and disappear into the woods for the weekend.

  • Seiko NH38A automatic movement
  • 41 hr power reserve
  • 10-year warranty
  • 120m water resistance
  • Green Super LumiNova on Hands and Numerals

Serious Question: Why are you wearing anything OTHER than Taylor Stitch this fall?
Outdoors, Nature, Yard

Look, I am admitting it right here. The internet is forever. So I know I can never take this back. But I am not an unbiased journalist. Sure, I try to be objective in my reporting of brands and trends. But subjectively, I have favorites. Brands that speak to me. Brands that fit me well. The ones that define my lifestyle better than any others. Now that I have that off my chest, I can objectively say that there is no better brand for your casual wardrobe than Taylor Stitch. I have always loved them more than most, but this year, the Taylor Stitch F/W collection has me asking one very important question for all of you out there:

Why the Hell are you wearing anything other than Taylor Stitch this fall?

Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

The Maidenhead, England-based brand just launched their C1 Loco Classic, a dressed-up take on last year’s C12 Loco. That watch was an angular, brightly colored sports watch built around the brand’s in-house CW-003 movement.
