Two Swatches added to the collection today, bringing the total to three. I don’t go out of my way to collect Swatch references, though they were iconic to teens like me in the 90s so I do have a fondness for ‘em.

Picked up the metal and white refs today. The metal ‘Skin’ model was particularly notable at the time for the case being sooooo daaaaarn thin. The white is just a nice, understated classic but those clear cases do not age well!

**Military Watch Company ORD1 Automatic**
A "dirty dozen"-style watch with a white dial. I attached a bonklip bracelet, which compliments the vintage look, and is comfortable & breathable for summers in Texas.

This one has been sitting in the vault for a few months. Time to give it some fresh air for a few days before the weather gets too hot for me to wear leather straps. #watches #watchesofmastodon

As Summer settles in, I tend to lean towards #watches that help me deal with sweat and a warm weather: smaller/flatter case, material like steel and titanium, or bracelet featuring on the fly micro adjustment system. A few more are in rotation but these are the 4 most often picked up lately. #watchesofmastodon

**Cadisen TI-7**
A titanium watch in shades of grey.
No, not that. Ew.

- the Christopher Ward Twelve 660 is what happens when CW goes full minimalist on the Twelve to fit within 6.6mm of case height. Sporty integrated bracelet design yet dress watch specs. Manual wind Sellita SW210-1 with custom bridges, no lume, no second hand.
- the Yema Superman Tourbillon CMN.31 is a stupidly expensive attempt at putting a tourbillon in their collection. Very silly in a titanium diver but I appreciate it as a manufacturing demonstration.

There were way too many #watches I saw there that I could legitimately talk about for a week or 2. To make it more digest, here are 4 picks I really enjoyed.
- the Echo/Neutra Rivanera Piccolo is a greyscale minimalist take on the Tank design. Light case and subdued pattern on the dial help make it easy to wear.
- the Straum Jan Mayen has many incredible dial variants but the bracelet featuring butterfly clasp and on the fly micro-adjust on both ends is the true standout.

Last week I attended the Montreal Timepiece Show. Usually the Timepiece Show is stationed in Toronto and Vancouver but this year was its inaugural coming to Montreal. Lots of smaller brands and indies showing up including Maurice Lacroix, Christoper Ward, Studio Underd0g, Baltic, Yema, Marathon and many more. #watches #watchesofmastodon
