Meehna Goldsmith recently posted an excellent interview on Investing in Watches (Part 1 and Part 2).  The topic is very interesting, especially as it has long been taboo to discuss on other internet forums. First of all, I would not buy watches as investments.  There are plenty of investment opportunities in the world, and while I will argue later that […]

Well today is the day of my Millionaire taping so I’m not going to be able to do a full post.  Instead, here’s a link to the Hourtime podcast I recorded the other day with Ariel from ablogtoread and John Biggs of CrunchGear. http://hourtimeshow.com/post/1302174730/episode-40-an-interview-with-stephen-hallock Enjoy and wish me luck!  I won’t be able to report on how it goes until […]

Not quite tech again, but maybe we can do TV Tuesday instead of Tech Tuesday. For those who have not heard or seen it, popular street artist, Banksy, wrote the opening of The Simpsons last weekend.  For those not familiar, Banksy is perhaps the most famous street artist in the world, although his true identity is secret.  His work is […]

Hope you all had a great weekend.  It’s Columbus day here in the US, so rather than write a full post I thought I would share this terrific article by Jason Heaton on www.askmen.com.  If Jason’s name sounds familiar it is because he also writes for our friends at Hodinkee and Gear Patrol. In the article, Jason takes on what […]

We do very little advertising.  Mostly when you see us it is editorial coverage.  Occasionally you will see an ad that is done in cooperation with a retailer.  And every now and then, we will take out an ad on our own. Of course with print media, the difficulty is that you cannot track the efficacy of an ad.  The only […]

I had my blog post all planned out today.  It was going to be a defense of the JWLRY MACHINE, our collaboration with Boucheron.  When we were ripped to pieces on the watch websites and forums for creating a piece of jewelry and accused of jumping the shark, I was going to plead our case. I would explain how the […]

This TickTocking Tuesday I’m going to talk about a movie.  I think it still fits as the movie is about Facebook – I make the rules around here anyway! In all seriousness, I saw The Social Network over the weekend.  It is an excellent movie, very well done.  I promise I’m not going to turn this blog into an amateur movie review […]

Tomorrow we will launch the JWLRYMACHINE, our fourth and final launch of the year.  You may have seen the teaser. This year has been incredible for us.  As I said, four new product launches, all very limited, very successful pieces.  I thought we’d take a quick look back and look at what each piece says about MB&F in addition to […]

Not going to be able to write a full post today.  It is the last day of SIAR.  Show has been great so far, hopefully I’ll be able to write a post on it tomorrow. In the meantime, check out this really cool video on the making of the effects in Blade Runner.  A neat look back to the time […]

Yesterday the show here officially opened and the response has already been great.  Thomas Mao, founder of The PuristS is here and posted a brief write-up of his time so far. Yesterday, at a lunch with the MB&F collectors, I was struck with how pure the love for watches is here.  This is a city where you cannot wear a […]
