#OpenLetter – #MYSpeedmasterStory – Omega Malaysia x Team Matick

Introduction One of the reasons why we started The Matick Blog 5 years ago (we just turned 5 last week!) was to uncover the untold stories of watch collectors in the most non-pretentious manner possible. We have always felt that there is a certain sense of romanticism associated with the bond a watch owner has […]

#LookCloser – Dietrich DD-1 and the Man Behind the Brand

Marshall What does your watch mean to you? What does it tell the world about you? I have always believed that in a man’s lifetime, one other meaningful relationship apart from the one with his lady, brothers, and family, is the one with the watch on his wrist. As far as I am concerned, that […]

#Introducing – Reverie Diver

Vincent According to Marshall, Reverie watches was one of the first indie brands we worked with back when we first started the site in 2015. We have come a long way since then, and so have they. It has been approximately four years since we reviewed the Sea-Spirit. Today, I am very excited to know […]

#LookCloser – Laco Rad Aux Limited Edition / And a Conversation with Matt Smith-Johnson

@FurryWristAbroad Introduction Every watch that I have received for review has presented its unique set of challenges. Hilarious contracts make you promise to return the watch in pristine condition when, in reality, the watch comes into your possession in tatters after months of abuse from other reviewers and influencers. There is also the fact that […]

#TimeWellSpent – GTG Edition 3 – Team Matick x Nodus Watches – Launch of the AvaMatick

Marshall Introduction These are some challenging times for all of us. As we are currently approaching a full month of the Movement Control Order here in Kuala Lumpur – the epicenter of the COVID-19 outbreak in Malaysia, I’d like to take this opportunity to wish everyone well. I know it’s been a heck of a […]

#LOOKCLOSER – Nodus Avalon (and AvaMatick) In-Depth Review from a Diver’s Perspective

@FurryWristAbroad Introduction Writing a review, or criticising the hard work of friends is never going to be pleasant. I had my reservations at first when asked to write a review for the Nodus Avalon and the recently released AvaMatick collaboration between Nodus and The Matick Blog, but these feelings were put aside after living with […]

#OpenLetter – #TimeWellSpent – Nodus Watches x The Matick Blog – Edition 3

You know what they say, it’s not about the destination, it’s more about the journey that matters. I guess this is it. It has been a long road for us, and I dare say this is our biggest highlight to date because it stood for everything we’ve been working so hard for. When we started […]

#WhatsInMy… – well, Marshall’s Pocket – EP2

Introduction This segment is an experimental segment that I would like to expand in the near future. But also because I have been quite fascinated recently with the whole Pocket Dump EDC movement. To a certain extent like watches, it is just a very interesting way to peek into a person’s character and taste. Today […]

#LookCloser—A Conversation Between KC and Marshall—The Nodus AvaMatick Limited Edition

Saturday, 1st Feb 2020, 11:16am @ Front Room & The Kneady Baker, Taman Desa Marsh: Good to see you, KC. It’s been awhile. KC: Likewise, buddy. Marsh: I think both you and I can appreciate how much this watch means to us as a team. This collaboration is something we’ve been talking about for a […]

#LOOKCLOSER – A CONVERSATION WITH BIRCHALL & TAYLOR (PART 3)

To finish off – Part 3: The Reference 1 FurryWristAbroad (FWA): Birchall & Taylor’s workshop is unique in Toronto and quite possibly in Canada. There are some watchmakers, and other small independent brands which have small workshops, but none are like this that I know of. Like some watchmakers in Switzerland and abroad, those curious […]
