I must really have a thing for trench watch-inspired watches, as another Kickstarter project just crossed my desk, and I rather liked what I saw. Then again, going with what seems to be a popular style (vintage military in a modern design) is a solid way to go, especially for a brand just starting out. With that in mind, let’s see what the McDowell Time Delray has on offer.
While we have covered quite a few different Kickstarter-sourced watch brands (due to the diligent coverage of Matt), there have not been all that many that we have seen repeat their efforts on the crowd-funding platform. One of the brands that I was impressed with via some time with a prototype (here; of note, we are working on a review of an automatic update to the watch) is back, this time heading back to an era where pocket watches jumped to the wrist of servicemen. Those are colloquially known as trench watches, and ManchesterWatchWorks is back with their Westminster and Vergennes models to commemorate that era.
Welcome to our weekly feature, Watching the Web, where Patrick and I get to point you toward some watch related articles we found across the WWW, as well as highlight some of the more popular articles over the last week or so from our own site. This week, I found a history lesson on railroad watches from Wound for Life, Monochrome highlighted the Arnold & Son Dual Side True Beat watch in stainless steel, and A Blog to Watch covered the Pebble Time. From our write-ups, Patrick’s review of the WT Aurthur 1914 was very popular, as was our link to Every Day Carry and the review of the Ziiiro Eclipse.
While a number of brands have collaborated with Disney in the past, one of the latest to put Mickey onto your wrist is none other than Fossil.
The OIlech & Wajs M-110, a tactical tool watch that draws on over 60 years of military expertise, now comes fitted to a unique ‘infantry green’ dual ply fabric strap.
For $475 you can’t go wrong with the Seiko 5 Sports SKX GMT wrist watch. This is a great entry-level piece and well worth the investment.
