Got lorier Hyperion this week and have been loving it

Put my zephyr in a mesh bracelet and have been really enjoying it

Started the collection about a year ago. I obviously like my Loriers - they wear well on my small wrist 😅! Still refining how I want to collect.

1: Seiko Lord-Matic 5606-7010 linen dial - LOVE the linen dial and how it places with the light. Lucky to have found one where date/day wheel was working well. First mistake though, was I probably could have haggled down bc it needed service.

2: Seiko Chariot 2220-0270 - SUPER thin and love how it wears.

3: TimeFactor Smith's Trans-Global Aventurine - I was in a Polerouter rabbit hole and wasn't ready to throw down on a real vintage one, so went with this guy. Love it - gets lots of compliments.

4: Baltic Prismic Jade - Limited release Jade dial out of the NYC store.

5: Tag Heuer Formula 1 383.513/1 - Wish it had the original strap, but got a great deal on it ($150). Big Formula 1 fan, so had to pick this up (I wore it to the China GP this year)

6: Tag Heuer 1000 Professional 980.613b - Was looking for a diver that was smaller, and so this 38mm was perfect. Wears really comfortably and I love the blue dial.

7: Tudor BB54 79000N - Newest addition and doesn't need much introduction! I knew I wanted tudor to be my first "big" purchase, and the BB54 with the 37mm diameter was the easy choice. No regrest!

8: Lorier Zephyr Black Dial - These were discontinued and the movement they used is no longer being produced by Miyota, so glad I found a good deal on this one (they're selling for ~$900-1000)! It's my go-to dress option.

9: Lorier Astra Stargazer - A quirky piece with a really creative hour/min/second hand movement.

10: Lorier Rambler - This gets the most wear. I just love the fit and feel, and the legible numerals. It also goes with any strap color.

Some pieces that came and left:

-Grand Seiko SBGV243 HAQ - loved the simplicity and nuances of the design, but ended up wearing a bit big and heavy.

-Timex x Noah Moon Phase - I loved the design but wasn't picking it up often enough, maybe a bit too dressy.

-Hamilton Khaki Field Quartz 38mm ref. H69401930 - couldn't get around to loving it, but the 36mm would have probably been better. Also, felt redundant since I had the Rambler.

Some pieces I want to add:

-A Universal Geneve - either a Polerouter (I got the Smith's to scratch that itch lol) or one of their White Shadows w the micro rotor,

-Serica Parade, another Grand Seiko to replace the one I just let go haha

-Out of my budget: A JLC Reverso 😭

What do you think I should add/subtract?

With my smaller wrist, the BB54 was a no brainer and I absolutely love it 🤌🏻
