I can't go to long without wearing an Erebus

Monterey EBC Polar on the wrist today. Have it riding on a green sailcloth strap and I’m digging it.

Today is a proud day. As a Watch collector, I have been wanting to find a watch that spoke to me that was made in the USA. There are not many watch makers left especially ones that make their own m movements and dials etc. About 6 months ago I saw the video on Teddy Baldassarre's Youtube Chanel about a watch he designed with Roland Murphy from RGM watches. I had come across RGM a few years ago, but I had wanted to go visit him before I purchased anything. Of course how life happens, it hadn't happened. When I saw Teddy's video I was felt like I was struck by lightning! This watch spoke to me like very few others in my collection. Some speak to me because of the Heirlooms that they are, Some speak to me because of their place in History like the moon watches, Some are just so stunning to me that I can't think about anything else. (This is one of the Stunners). When I make a purchase of this size I try to have it linked to a special moment in my life and this does that. My wife and I celebrated an expansion in our business and when something like that happens we each pick something special to commemorate the event. I generally go to watches and to be fair so does she! 😎. After the video I went on Teddy's site only to find out they were sold out before they even became available and before the video went live. They were only making 25! I was disappointed, but hit the "Notify Me" button just in case someone backed out. A couple of months go by and my cell phone rings and it is AJ from Teddy Baldassarre's.😳. He proceeds to tell me that they had decided to make another 20. They would be slightly different than the original 25 and they had 2 left and would I like one? 😎 I immediately said YES! Without talking to my wife. A dangerous play for sure, but she very rarely says no to me and she had loved the watch when I had showed it to her when it was sold out, so it was a gamble I decided to take. When I got home and told her about the phone call, I asked her if she thought I should get it? She said "If you don't call them right now and order it I WILL"!!

Some places don't make it onto most maps. Carova sits at the very tip of North Carolina's Outer Banks, where the barrier island quietly crosses into Virginia — wild coastline, open sky, and the kind of unhurried confidence that comes from knowing exactly where you belong. That spirit is the CAROVA. Arriving in October. Designed by our in-house team (David and Neil, thank you.) A sport dress watch with no compromises. Our signature sand grain dial captures the texture of the shoreline itself. The double domed sapphire crystal adds vintage soul with modern scratch resistance. And look closely at the seconds hand — you'll find our mark: the oversized red-tipped sweep arrow. A quiet signal to those who know.
