This one is a throwback because of it's vintage aesthetic, I'm loving this on the leather .

In August 2024, I weighed about 570 lbs. Today the scale finally read 319.8. 250.2 pounds lost. I've been fighting with these last few pounds for months — I even hit 320.2 at one point, but I refused to round it and call 250 early. I wanted to actually cross the line. So I promised myself there'd be a watch waiting when I did. Today I finally get to order the Erebus Titan Tiger's Eye as my −250 lb milestone watch. And because apparently losing 250 pounds makes for questionable financial restraint, I'm pre-ordering a Nexus too. 😂 Watches are great for marking moments in our lives. I have a feeling that Tiger's Eye is always going to mean a little more than most. 570 → 319.8. Hell. Yes. ⌚🐯

Well. Just wanting to share that I have taken the big step. Some of you know that I am a horology author, and have self-published several watch ebooks, but always had issues when dealing with printed media. My ebooks are really not suited to Amazon distribution. Too big. Too expensive. Too complex to freeze into a fixed format when the content keeps evolving. So I never did it. And people kept asking me for that. Online is good, but paper is paper. The TWM Field Guides are my answer to that. I have repackaged the original content of The Watch Manual to fit. Smaller volumes. Single subjects. Re-designed from the start to be printed, distributed, and sold through the major online platforms — including Amazon. The Brand Guide is the first one. It just went live in print on Amazon and on Kindle. It covers 65 watch brands outlining their history and technical achievements, and includes a list of 350+ secondary brands used by these same companies through their history, and a visual list of 200 marks by movement makers. The kind of reference you keep on the desk for the moment you need it — not something you read cover to cover, something you reach for when you are watch-hunting. @Antonio Cent

Wearing the ascent for this quiet Sunday, hope everyone had a fantastic weekend.
