Solid Watch

For this post I’m going to review my newest watch… the Skeleton Mechanical Solid Watch by Henry Juskevicius (who’ll be referred to as Henry, or Mr. Juskevicius moving forward).

The history with this watch is an interesting one. For one, it’s the second Kickstarter project I’ve ever backed. Second, it was the first time I allowed myself to invest more than $400 on a service like Kickstarter. 1 This watch cost me $650, but has now gone up to $850 since then – and is said to eventually (who knows when that’s going to be) sell for $3,000 Read More

Have you ever noticed this: Anything that you find interesting will always end up getting infinitely more complicated than what you had [initially] expected?

When you’re a guitarist, you’ll start to think along the lines: “is it time to adjust the tension in my fretboard via the truss rod?” When you’re a “singer” trying to learn a harmony, you’ll tend to think “oh ok, so this weird sounding note is just a 6th in relation to the tonic; that should make it easier to hit.” Things you couldn’t even begin to think about from the “outside.”

The list goes on, and it’s not just for hobbies or passions… it can apply to short-term stuff as well. That’s exactly what I’m experiencing with my new watch.
