#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.

Marshall Introduction These are some challenging times for all of us.

#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 […]
