Monty Monday
I say we dedicate Monday 25 May to wearing our Monterey Watch Co pieces. Perhaps we could even start making the last Monday of every month Monty Mondays. That way those with more than one Monterey Watch can showcase them even more. What say ye gentlemen

Automatic vs. Quartz — Which Side Are You On?
Fellow watch lovers, it's time for the debate that never gets old. ⌚⚔️ Two technologies. Two philosophies. Two very different kinds of passion. AUTOMATIC (MECHANICAL): A tiny universe of hundreds of hand-finished components, moving in perfect harmony, powered by nothing but the motion of your wrist. Every automatic watch is a mechanical miracle — a daily reminder that human ingenuity can create beauty without a battery. There's a reason collectors obsess over these. QUARTZ — Don't sleep on quartz. It's more accurate, requires less maintenance, and some of the most iconic watches ever made — the Seiko 5, the Grand Seiko Snowflake, the Rolex Oysterquartz — run on quartz movements. Your watch actually keeps time, and it never needs winding. The real question isn't just technical — it's philosophical: Is wearing a mechanical watch a romantic act of defiance against the digital age… or is quartz the smarter, more practical choice for a man who needs to be on time? Pick your side 👇 and defend it in the comments. Roast the other camp respectfully — this is a gentleman's debate after all. 😄

The One Watch Question...
If you had to wear one watch the rest of your life...what would it be? All occasions, all adventures, never take it off...camping to weddings...beach to boardrooms...lawn work to law office...

Besides my own brand I’d prolly spend a week trying to decide my 1WC. But then I’d settle on the Vacheron Constantin Overseas in platinum. Because after all, why not cut the grass wearing 50k of bling.
