This weeks arrangement of watches focuses on dials specifically. I see mixed opinions, but I am definitely a fan of stone dials when done right. Stone gives each watch a unique look and I just enjoy the depth and texture that these dials display.
My mini collection features 4 completely different watches with very different stones. The black marble Aquacy bronze diver was the first microbrand watch I purchased. I thought the black and white stone against the bronze case was so cool looking and I got it for a super low price. Looking back it was actually a really good deal (not a beginners mistake like many I bought) and has stuck around in my collection with no plan to sell.
The second piece I added was the limited edition Spinnaker Hull with the turquoise dial. Coincidentally, another bronze watch. Turquoise is my wife’s birthstone and I just thought it was a neat looking piece that’s almost impossible to find now, even on the secondary market.
The Duxot Marcel is not a watch I would usually go for (as it’s a clear homage), but, like the turquoise for my wife, the pink opal is my birthstone. It’s not my highest quality piece, but it is limited to 75 and does look pretty good on the wrist.
The last piece, and my favorite of the 4, is the Erebus Ascent tiger eye. Not only is the dial awesome and the brown makes it super versatile, but the watch is extremely high quality and an easy one to wear.
4 watches. 4 stone dials. Let me know what you think of this group, stone dials in general, and as always- share a mini collection of your own!

It’s not an active “collection” anymore but I went through a footwear stage so I have a decent stockpile of sneakers, shoes, boots, etc. It’s possible I never buy another pair of shoes again but I still have fun pairing up my shoes with my very “active” watch collection. Anyone else match their ticks and kicks?

My contribution to Mini Collection Monday this week focuses on a style of watch: Pilot Watches. Pilot watches are interesting because there’s a few styles considered to be “pilots.” My collection is an example of this and there are more styles outside of these 3 that also fall under the pilot watch category. Personally I enjoy the simplicity of these watches and while the heritage of them is of course tied to flying, I find them to be versatile pieces that can be worn for multiple occasions, from casual to semi-formal.
The most notable piece in this collection is the Laco Augsburg. This taupe colored piece with the California dial is a limited edition piece numbered to 200. It always draws a lot of attention when I wear/post it and for good reason. It’s really a great piece and Laco makes a great watch for the money.
While the Laco is a famous German pilot watch, the Islander thunderbolt is a homage to another Iconic German pilot. Clear homages usually aren’t my style, but this is such a well-built piece and the black MOP dial is just gorgeous. Plus the style is simple enough that while it isn’t original, it also isn’t an obvious copy to the casual eye. This is really an any occasion type or timepiece.
The last, and most interesting piece of the 3 is the Nodus Sector Pilot. At first glance, it almost appears to be a dive watch with the numbered bezel, but it marketed as a Pilot with the sector dial and day date complication. The copper dial and steel bezel contrast beautifully and the different textures make for a unique piece.
This is a collection I hope to expand on in the future as there are other amazing Pilot styles that I appreciate. Let me know your thoughts on these pieces, Pilot watches in general, and as always- share a mini collection of your own!
