I believe these guys are French… And essentially, they take high-end vintage watches and customize them. On paper, I HATE the idea. In practice, I think they are absolutely gorgeous. If you have some time today, just browse some of their collection.

The want is real.

My standard dive watch is a standard U1. It’s a bit big and a bit heavy, but gloriously made and honestly, it wears really well for it’s size and heft.

Sinn just released a limited edition version of the same watch. I love it.

I have a Whale Shark dive on my resume… It was an experience I will never forget and to this day, I often wonder how such an amazing animal can exist and yet be neglected. It’s disgusting actually…

Oris recently released the Whale Shark – a limited edition dive watch with eyes on raising money to save the endangered species. It’s pretty rad too…

Two watches in a row… Sorry, but not sorry. Japanese brand, Neighborhood and Seiko colab on a dive watch and it’s as cool as I thought it would be.

Really cool and well built reproduction of the classic Vietnam Era watch. I love that they left it sterile.

The Timex American Documents Watch is an American made watch with a Swiss movement. It costs just less than $500… And it’s way cooler than that shit those guys in Detroit are trying to sell you.

Details.

Sinn does it… Again… This time in the form of a Grand Prix inspired bullhead. I love everything about it.

Details.

Perfect size… sort of a vintage Braun design… and a fantastic Seiko movement. All for around $500 bones…

Pretty Rad.
