#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 […]
#LookCloser – Team Matick Picks: Best Watches Around RM500, RM1,500 and RM3,000 for the 2020 Holiday Season

#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.

#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.

There is also the fact that […]

#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 […]

#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 […]
