THE ARAB GATSBY

Stone dials are hot now, and I mean extremely hot on the market right now. With the Piaget Andy Warhl and other stone dial watches being sought after more than they have been in the past. With that being the case, a phoenix is reborn. Dennison is reborn. A watch company that was started over 175 years ago by the British American Aaron Lufkin Dennison. The company started as a manufacturer of watch cases, creating watch cases for some of the industries’ most renowned brands, i

So, since the start of the year, I’ve used and tested a number of phones, including the Samsung Fold 7, the Google Pixel 9 Pro XL and the Pixel 9 Pro Fold , the OnePlus 13, the Vivo X200 Ultra , and for the past month I’ve been using the Oppo Find X9 Pro. I should say as a disclaimer that I’ve purchased each and every one of these phones, and none of them have been sent to me for testing, because no one has offered. I’ve been wanting to get back to Color OS, and that speaks v

Looking at my watch collection there has always been a watch that’s been missing from my collection, a chronograph. A proper chronograph. Searching around and seeing what the market had available and what was in my budget, there were a couple of viable options to choose from. The Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph, which comes in a couple of beautiful dial colors, including this dark purple that is breathtaking. Then there is the Tudor Black Bay Chrono, which has become a recent i

Made as a reinterpretation of the Seiko 6105-8000 which came out in 1968, and made famous thanks to the movie Apocalypse Now, where the character Captain Willard is seen wearing it. The Seiko SPB315J was released in 2022 to honor the 6105-8000 especially it being the first iteration of the Seiko “turtle” case. The case still has the “turtle” case shape, while remaining at 41mm which is typical and a lug to lug of 47mm, but what’s different is this reinterpretation of the watc

The number of Homage watch companies on the market is too many to count, and what usually is terrible about that sector of that market is the quality of watches that are put out. Considering all the times you’ve seen a homage watch, the watch seems flimsy poorly built, quartz movement, usually an almost carbon copy of the watch it pays homage to and always seemed like an easy cash grab for these companies. When it comes to RCAPH, it wasn’t created to make a Homage watch brand

As a way to get a hold of younger enthusiasts into the doors of Nomos Glashütte, they decided to release the Club Campus in 2017. A watch that stands true to the bauhaus school of design that Nomos Glashütte is renowned for. With the naming being something as a hint towards its target of a younger generation. Coming in two different case sizes of 36mm and 38mm and more dial colors than a person has fingers. The German watch company offering as well two different kind of movem

A little back story. When Apple announced the iPhone 15 at their keynote, it was the first time in years where I was like no, I cant justify purchasing this phone. Not because of the price, but because the difference between it and it was basically the same phone. So I switched to Android. Which to many may seem like a bit weird, considering the fact that apps are integrated to the Apple ecosystem, including Instagram and Snapchat. Due to the screen size ration being uniform
