#LookCloser – BOLDR x Kenji Chai – Venture Chaigo
Marshall Introduction It became somewhat of a routine to see Chaigo on my way to school almost every single day, and little did I know I would be sitting here a few years later, writing about the very artist behind Chaigo and his collaborative project with our friends over at BOLDR Supply Co. For those […]
Check out our new Podcast: The KC & Jon Jon Show!
Its official! You heard it here first. The KC & Jon Jon Show podcast is now officially onboard with The Matick Blog! “An awkward yet arousing duo having amateur discussions about watches, occasionally about alcohol, but mostly irreverent and absurd humour.” – JonJon, 2020 Simon and Garfunkel.

#LookCloser – Team Matick Picks: Best Watches Around RM500, RM1,500 and RM3,000 for the 2020 Holiday Season
Introduction Yes, it is that time of the year again. Be it Christmas, the year’s end, or you just wanting to buy a watch to commemorate your 2020 (for all the right reasons, we hope), or perhaps even to buy a new watch for a friend / family member / significant other who is fairly […]
#LookCloser – A Quick Hands-On with the Reverie Diver
Vincent Introduction Thanks to work commitments and the chaos that’s been happening around the world lately, I must confess that it has been a while since I last reviewed a watch. Naturally then, when Sam from Reverie Watches reached out to us, asking if we would be interested in spending some time with their […]
#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 […]
#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 – 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 […]
